Why can't battleships withdraw from the historical stage in World War II? Because carrier-based aircraft have many disadvantages, they do not have night landing capabilities, poor observation capabilities at sea, weak reaction capabilities, etc.

Of course, in the case of long-distance fire exchange, carrier-based aircraft have considerable advantages, such as now.

Without carrier-based aircraft, the fleets of both sides would not be able to attack the other side hundreds of kilometers away.

The carrier-based aircraft of the island country rushed towards the direction of the US aircraft carrier, but they did not find the target. The water vapor at sea made it difficult for them to observe. They didn't know that their side had missed the US aircraft carrier formation!

They almost flew past less than five kilometers from the US aircraft carrier formation, but missed the opportunity and did not see it!

Captain Sakamoto Akira took his fleet and continued to fly forward for nearly a hundred kilometers, but still found nothing!

"Drop the bomb and return!" Captain Sakamoto's tone was helpless. He pressed the weapon drop button. The expensive bomb imported from Germany was thrown directly into the sea.

Now, Stuka is much easier.

Behind the formation, Ohara Taro's eyes were a little confused.

The long flight made his head a little dizzy. Now, he opened the canopy cover and let the fresh air enter the cabin, which made his mind feel a little clear. He knew that he could never fall asleep. He had companions behind him. He had to fly this plane and fly back again!

The surroundings have begun to turn black.

I don’t know how long it took to fly, but Ohara Taro’s eyes suddenly lit up. On the sea below, there were flashing lights pointing the direction of the deck. It turned out that before he knew it, he had already flew to the fleet!

So he pushed his operating lever and entered the downward route. At the same time, he twisted the radio frequency knob and adjusted the frequency of the call with the deck.

"Ruihe, Ruihe, 013 requested landing, 013 requested landing."

For some reason, there was no echo in the headphones. No matter how he was, he would land first. This kind of landing in the dark is quite tormenting. If you cannot accurately touch the ship, it will greatly increase the psychological pressure, and the second time will be even more difficult.

The York City is brightly lit.

The personnel on the deck are nervously preparing. Today's contact made them realize that the battle with the island nation will break out at any time. They must make all preparations and release the aircraft group at any time.

Now, in the busy schedule, you can hear the sound of the plane in the distance.

All of our carrier-based aircraft have been recycled. What aircraft is flying in now?

On one side of the rear deck, on the platform below, anti-aircraft gunner Lockht looked nervously at the sky, and then, a plane with an inverted seagull wing suddenly emerged from the dark night sky.

"Stuka, it's Stuka!" Lockhit shouted, and immediately quickly shook his anti-aircraft high and low aircraft, and then stepped on the firing machine.

"Bangbang!" The anti-aircraft artillery shells flew into the sky one by one, and there was a tracer bullet mixed in several shells. He followed the ballistic instructions and continued to adjust the elevation angle of his anti-aircraft artillery while firing.

"Boom!" In the sky, the Stuka bomber was hit! The 40mm high-explosive bomb turned the bomber into a fireball in the sky!

Successfully hit a goal!

An air defense alarm was sounded on the aircraft carrier. Are the islanders crazy? They actually came to bomb their own side at night?

However, unlike the flying bomber, which did not carry bombs at all, did not dive down and bomb. Judging from the other party's flight trajectory, it seemed like it was preparing to land!

The US Navy didn't know what happened, but saw that the few Stukas behind them quickly raised their heights and drilled into the dark night sky. The fleet's anti-aircraft guns were firing around, and there was no result in any war.

Inside the bridge, Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, the commander of the aircraft carrier formation, received this report. His brain was thinking quickly that these aircraft must have been here to bomb their own side, but they did not find the target, but instead regarded their own aircraft carrier as their mothership.

What does this mean? The island country's naval aircraft carrier is nearby! So, tomorrow, a tragic duel between aircraft carriers will surely break out!

...

Henschel, Germany.

Ernst Henkel, one of Germany's most famous aircraft designers, is now reporting to the visiting Head of Cialek and his group.

"According to the opinions put forward by the Navy, the most important thing about confronting aircraft carriers at sea is to discover the enemy first. In this way, the aircraft carrier needs an advanced reconnaissance aircraft. Therefore, we have made some improvements based on our own He219 night fighter jets." Ernst and Cirick and his group have arrived at the factory. In the factory, a newest fighter jet is entering the final assembly stage.

The he219 is a German night fighter, which has played a great role in defending Berlin and other aspects. However, this is a land-based fighter. If you want to modify it to an aircraft carrier, you have to make new improvements.

For example, wing folding, air-cooled engine replacement, easy maintenance, salt-proof treatment, etc.

In fact, Henschel's HS129 attack aircraft has been modified and put on the ship. It would be easier to improve on this aircraft. However, Henschel did not do this, but chose the HS219. The biggest difference between the two is the equipment on the nose.

As a night fighter, HS219 has a set of radars, and now, what German maritime patrol aircraft also needs is radar!

"In heavy fog weather, or at night, etc., the pilot's visual search ability is limited, and the monotonous blue color at sea can easily cause visual fatigue. Therefore, the effect of using radar for detection is much better. We have specially developed a new radar for maritime reconnaissance." Heinrich Helz, director of the technology and development department of Henschel, said proudly: "This is the first time we have moved the sea search radar to the sky."

According to historical development, it would be impossible to have a carrier-based early warning aircraft in this era. The technical difficulty could not be developed by this era. Even Cialek's time travel cannot change the pace of science.
