In addition to the material of the shell, there are only two aspects: one is to increase the speed of the shell when it falls, and the other is to increase the angle of the shell when it falls. The former is easy to understand, and the latter can be understood as the more the ballistic is bent, the greater the horizontal penetration depth when it is the same in other situations!

Based on these two principles, after the 15-inch artillery equipped by Bavaria was put into service, Skoda's technicians have been improving the shells. After countless calculations and tests, Skoda has really come up with some solutions on how to improve the level of penetration depth.

First of all, the shape of the old shell is not good. The 871KG shell is only 130CM long and the length of the shell is a bit short. After changing to a new hood, the shell's speed is greatly improved. In addition to the length of the bullet body, the shape of the hood has also been optimized to a certain extent, which can be understood as optimizing the "aperture layout" of the shell.

Secondly, although the 871KG shell is considered heavy bomb, if you want to specifically increase the horizontal penetration depth, the heavier the shell, the better the horizontal penetration depth. Therefore, after slightly improving the amount of the launching medicine, the weight of the new shell has increased to 890KG, which will make the ballistic more curved and increase the horizontal penetration depth.

After these two improvements, the new shells can penetrate 50MM homogeneous armor and 25MM defensive backplanes in the shooting range simulation. To some extent, they can basically be used to deal with the Fusang. Of course, after replacing the shells, the cannon watches and retraining. Therefore, it will take some time to form combat effectiveness. I really think that the German high seas fleet is now huddled in the port to sleep? It is naturally impossible. How can the fleet built by the Empire that cost billions of marks to be idle? In addition to preparing for the upcoming landing in the Bay of Riga, the rest is to train the use of new shells and strengthen control of the Baltic Sea.

As for what to do after the British discovered it again? The prince doesn't have to worry too much. First of all, horizontal defense is different from side string defense. After all, the former has a larger area and is several times larger! Historically, the British increased the dome armor to improve defense, but it also paid the price of weight. Taking the Duke of Ther as an example, after the Battle of Jutland, the dome armor was increased by 1 inch to 2 inches, of which not all core cabins were increased, which increased the weight by 820 tons! (It should be that the horizontal part was increased by 1 inch, and the inclined part was increased by about 2 inches) If the thickest layer of all core cabins was to reach more than 3 inches, then the weight cost and the time and resources required to improve this weight cost and improvement were definitely something the British would not want to see.

As for the Japanese Fuso, the defense configuration is actually very good. A large-thick layer of armor is done, but by the same token, if you wait for the beating and then change, you will also have to bear huge time and material losses. And after all, it is a Japanese ship, and even if the British change, they have to wait until their ship is completed. And for the navy, as long as the German fleet can fight another killing number similar to the Thunder-Surbruce battle, don't lose too much, then the British fleet's sea control power will be really dangerous, and it is not always useful to make up for the dead!

"After there are water bombs and heavy bombs specifically for horizontal armor, the problem of naval artillery battles should not be great, right?" the prince thought to himself. Regarding the matter of changing shells, the prince would just leave it to Tirpitz. It was not too difficult anyway. The prince was really concerned about another thing, one that was closely related to the Air Force and was even quite groundbreaking. This matter could only be caught by the prince himself. If it were someone else, I don't know what it would be like! That is the naval aviation and the air force attacking ships! This is difficult and it is groundbreaking!

Both sides of the war have always been a state of fighting each other in technology. Both sides can do everything they can to win their opponents. Some things are not useful in historical wars, but they do not mean they are not available, or they cannot be used. For example, aircraft carriers have not done anything in history in the war, but they do not mean they are not technically desirable. At least from the perspective of the prince’s understanding, the British Navy had already had the technical factors of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft to the sea at the end of World War I. If you fight for two more years, it is very likely that aircraft will take off from the aircraft carriers and bomb the fleet!

Because from history, the first generation of aircraft carriers and first generation carrier-based aircraft have been formed, the only regret is that there is no chance of performance. Now this plane has technology about 5 years ahead of history. If the war is still 4 years old and ended in 1916 on this plane, the technical level will be at least equivalent to around 1920 in history. At this time, the world's first aircraft carrier and first-class carrier-based aircraft have been put into service! Who dares to say that there will be no aircraft carrier attack battleships in this plane battle?

It may not work to launch a formation similar to the hundreds of aircraft in the second battle, but don’t forget that fleet air defense is not good in this era. It is also a matter of luck to use anti-lightning guns and single-digit anti-aircraft guns to shoot down the aircraft! When the spear is not sharp enough and the shield is not bad, although aircraft carriers and naval aviation will not dominate the battlefield like in the second battle, it is still very useful as an important weight to determine the outcome of the battle!

So, no matter whether this war can be used or not, it will definitely be used in future wars! After the Air Force has improved, the prince has been working hard to build an aviation force that can face the sea and is best to board the ship. The aircraft carrier plan is modified with large ships and is currently outfitted at the Brom-Foss Shipyard, and the carrier-based aircraft plan is carried out in Bavaria and Bohemia at the same time.

This time, the prince came to Bohemia to pay attention to the production of new shells, and carrier-based aircraft is also the top priority. The new DB1911 V12 250-horsepower engine has been put into service, and the 300-horsepower improved model is also being tested. This powerful engine directly makes the service of high-performance carrier-based aircraft and attack aircraft a reality.
