The speed of a fully loaded torpedo plane is naturally lower, and in order to have enough fuel to go back, it can only choose the most economical cruising speed. More importantly, the British Navy did not discover the seaplanes and aircraft carriers hiding behind the battleships, and the encounter began

The distance was too far at that time, and under the cover of the smoke screen generated by the battleships and the fleet, the British did not discover the rear of the main fleet.

Three seaplane carriers at 15km. After the official battle, these seaplane carriers did not participate in the battle. The reason is very simple. The German aircraft carriers have extremely limited load capacity and have no purpose other than mounting two machine guns for air combat.

, and even if you engage in air combat, you can only defeat bombers with full loads, and professional fighter jets cannot defeat them...

"Stop them!" Scheer quickly realized that the opponent was about to launch the most fierce offensive. A large number of torpedo boats sprang out from the gaps in the British fleet. Like a pack of wolves, they rushed towards the German fleet under the leadership of the light cruiser. The British

The battleship roared again, and nearly a hundred tons of various artillery shells per minute roared towards the German fleet in the distance. The combat power of the large fleet broke out at this moment, and air and sea attacks launched simultaneously. Faced with this fierce

After a wave of attacks, Scheer could only lead the huge High Seas Fleet to distance himself. The number of auxiliary warships of the High Seas Fleet was seriously insufficient, and the main fleet had no advantage. Faced with this wave of attacks, Scheer rationally chose to avoid it, but he did not

Dare to retreat. Once you choose to evacuate, the formation is likely to be chaotic under the opponent's dense lightning strikes, and at this time they are still within the attack range of the large fleet. In a battle of equally powerful battle lines, the party with the chaotic formation will have

Not far from death!

Fortunately, the Sailfish bombers carrying this torpedo flew too slowly. At the same time, in order to maintain the formation and identify the German main battleships under the smoke screen in order to launch an attack, these Sailfish needed to slow down further, and this gave the Germans the opportunity to take off the seaplane.

At the same time, the Fokker DR3 fighter jets with pontoons took off slowly. They formed three-plane formations in the air, and then launched an attack without waiting for everyone to arrive. The Kaiser was still concerned about this battle.

It is very important that he indeed provided the best things to the High Seas Fleet, such as battleships, supplies, and even aircraft and pilots! Among them was Red Baron Richterfen, the top ace of the Luftwaffe, who won the Blue Marx Medal.

Oswald Bourque, and his younger brother Owen. Well, but among these people there is another person who is not very famous now, but is famous in history. This person is called Goering...

"Damn, they have escort planes!" Bourque cursed in a low voice. Bourque and his team had just climbed to a certain height when they found several deh10 swordfish aircraft suddenly rushing out from the opposite side. Although this aircraft was originally designed

It was used as a bomber. It was not considered at all.

There was no air combat problem, but when the range of single-engine aircraft was not enough, these crews who had not learned to attack the sea took the opportunity to serve as escort missions. Forget about mobility, a two-engine three-person aircraft from World War I

How much maneuverability does the aircraft want? But the British made other enhancements.

Firepower and protection! The British made this type of aircraft into an aerial tank that could be called a contemporaneous one!. They rarely installed armor near the cockpit in the front. The crew in front was protected because he was the pilot of the aircraft. For the last

The reason why the crew members are armored is because generally experienced opponents like to go around to the back to launch attacks. As for the telegraph operator and navigator sandwiched in the middle? Sorry.

You pray to God and ask for blessings! On the nose of the aircraft, the British installed two 12.7mm machine guns. The telegraph operator in the middle also had two detachable lightweight Vickers machine guns. And the one sitting at the rear of the aircraft

The gunner also had a 12.7mm machine gun. Such powerful firepower was terrifying compared to the German aircraft that only had two 7.92mm machine guns at the time!

"These big guys are like porcupines, covered with spikes all over their body. It is difficult for us to find the blind spot for their firepower, especially when these planes are in a group!" Bulk recalled after the war. Of course now

He didn't know that these Swordfish were also troublesome in air combat when they were not equipped with torpedoes. Bourque led his team to rush towards the opponent without fear. Everyone in his team was an ace pilot, even the most incompetent one.

exist

They had shot down 7 aircraft on the Western Front. As experienced pilots, they knew that it was extremely irrational to have a head-on conflict with the opponent. This style of killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred is really not worth emulating by these aces. For those in front of them,

With the huge raptors soaring in the sky, the best option is to take a detour and kick their butts hard! The three planes made a beautiful dodge to avoid the swordfish that were charging head-on. They appeared in a few seconds.

Diagonally above the opponent!

When Bulk had just stabilized his fighter jet and was about to dive to attack the enemy below, several tongues of flame suddenly swept across from below. It seemed that at least 5 machine guns were aimed at him. Bulk immediately evaded, but a little brother on his left made a move

When I was a little slow, I was bitten hard by the fire snake below, and a small piece of the wing was missing. The three planes were shaking.

It flew over the opponent's head, and then rolled and circled behind the opponent again. The three ace pilots were bitten when they attacked the bomber. This made Bulk and others very unhappy, so they decided to teach these clumsy people a lesson.

Man, well, at least we have to fight a fight! And judging from their position, they are at the 7 o'clock position of each other. It's a very good angle.

"Why can't you be killed?" Bourque and others all saw the tail gunner of the Sailfish bomber. In the tail-biting battle of the air combat, this gunner is the only threat to the attacker. Killing him is equivalent to gaining something.

90% chance of winning. And the experienced Bulk and others did exactly this. Bulk firmly locked a Sailfish aircraft in the center of the aiming ring, and then clicked the button.

The trigger of the machine gun was moved. Yellow-orange shells flew out from the ejection port, and fiery red bullets flew towards the opponent like locusts. The tail machine gunner was obviously caught off guard. He was seen falling quickly.

The head was hidden behind an iron plate. The 7.92mm bullets clanged against the iron plate. Although the rear machine gunner was suppressed, it didn't seem to kill him.

"This plane can actually concentrate the firepower of three machine guns at the back?" Two tongues of flames made Buerke fail. Not only did he fail to kill the machine gunner behind him, but he fell into a passive position. However, his rich experience still allowed him to

Escaped from the entanglement of the God of Death. Although he and his team suffered no losses, they did not gain any advantage in this confrontation. For the first time, they encountered an enemy armed to the teeth, which left them at a loss as to what to do. In the end, they had to give up.

Unlike Bourque's head-on style of play, the Red Baron and his team are much more cunning. "Our mission is to prevent the opponent's aircraft from carrying out lightning strikes on the battleship. So our first target is the torpedo plane, and the second target is the torpedo plane."

, the third target is the torpedo plane, a direct fight with the fighter is not only unnecessary but also a waste of time!" before setting off.

Before, the Red Baron had repeatedly told his team to avoid unnecessary battles, so when they took off, they did not have too many entanglements with the British aircraft serving as escorts. After maneuvering around the opponent, they

The target was firmly locked on a three-plane Sailfish formation that was preparing to try a lightning strike. "Let's bite off their left wing first!"

The dense fire caused by the intertwining of six 7.92mm machine guns instantly smashed the tail of one of the Sailfish aircraft into a sieve. Although the cockpit had certain protection, the rest of the aircraft was made of wood. Under random shooting, the entire aircraft was destroyed.

The tails were cut off, and the

Then it staggered and fell into the sea. "We have achieved our first victory!" a German pilot shouted excitedly. "But it is not enough." Looking at the formation of more than a dozen aircraft rushing over from a distance,

In large formation, the Red Baron shook his head helplessly.

As for the formation of bombers that cover each other and are equipped with a large number of self-defense weapons, how can they fight without large-caliber cannons and long-range rockets? The answer is: try your luck! In World War II in history, even if the US and British air forces did not have escorts

At that time, if the Luftwaffe relied solely on 20mm cannons, it would be

It is also quite laborious. The intensive firepower makes it difficult for pilots to use their skills. If it is a battle between fighter jets, they can also use their maneuverability and personal tactical qualities to carry out sneak attacks. Some people have counted that the pilots who were shot down in the second battle (if he

Still alive.) More than half didn't know about the attack until they were shot down

Where does the attack come from? The real aces are veterans who are well versed in sneak attacks. A head-on attack like that may appear more often in a game of Xu Jie's era. But fighting bombers is different, especially

He is a guy like the American emperor who has machine guns all over his body. He has almost no blind spots, and

Even if one aircraft has a blind spot, other aircraft will help defend it. No matter what the technique is, it will become a frontal attack against the B17 fleet flying in groups. Moreover, the bombers are indeed more resistant due to their size. Therefore, when they have rockets,

Before breaking up the opponent's formation, the German Air Force fought very hard.

Although the aircraft at this time were far from comparable to the fire hedgehogs such as the B17 and B25 during World War II, the two 7.92mm machine guns on the German aircraft were obviously very different from the mg151-20, mk108 and rockets of later generations.

Far...Although

Although everyone is an ace, these aces soon discovered that no matter where they launched the charge, they would be attacked by self-defense machine guns. Moreover, because the take-off was very hasty, the whole battle was a bit like adding fuel to the fire. Although the elites of the Luftwaffe tried their best

, but the effect can only be half told!
