And to be honest, the gasoline engine's power-weight ratio is relatively good, the weight and volume are relatively small, and it starts quickly. So in the end, the Americans decided to try a wolf tank using gasoline. So, what is the result? Anyway, the US military's front-line tanks are still using diesel engines produced in Germany! And his own gasoline engine tanks built five prototypes, and three of them caught fire on the test site because the engine was overheated...

As for what is the reason? Naturally, the Americans' liquid-cooled engines are not up to standard, and then they use air-cooled engines. After all, although the heat dissipation efficiency of liquid-cooled engines is high, the structure is too complex. From the perspective of engineering technology, it is naturally easier for air-cooled engines. However, in reality, the engine itself is relatively stable, but it becomes unstable after being installed on a tank. It is very simple to be willing to dissipate heat!

In terms of heat dissipation principle, liquid-cooled engines are more advanced than air-cooled. After all, the former relies on cooling fluid to bring out heat from the cylinder, while the latter relies entirely on heat sinks and air flow to dissipate heat. At this time, air flow is very important. Originally, when an aircraft engine was used as a fast aircraft speed and the nose was almost completely open, the heat dissipation pressure was not large. However, the situation is different now. The air flow of the tank engine at the rear of the vehicle body is much worse than that when it is an aircraft engine. In this case, if the heat cannot be dissipated, there will definitely be problems, and there will be combat in the tropical areas in the future!

You should know that when the original German tanks are equipped with liquid-cooled engines, the power pack has been improved in order to adapt to the tropical climate, and additional fans have been installed. Isn’t it a joke that you want to change a small change in the air-cooled engine and go directly to the tank? So, in addition to being unable to let go of face, the US Army is still trying to replace the American engine for the wolf tank, the military has agreed that it is better to purchase the original version!

Of course, Major General Karls's German military delegation will contact Germany first. After all, even if the inventory is used, it will need to be modified and debugged before it arrives in the United States. However, this is not the point. After the army has solved the problem of firepower suppression, the Navy's affairs also need to be solved. The simplest problem is, what should I do if the number of aircraft carriers on board in the future is insufficient?

"Everyone, I believe everyone has already known the losses of the naval aviation today. To be honest, such a war of attrition has exceeded our expectations. The supplement of carrier-based aircraft is not difficult. After all, at sea, we cannot directly throw the aircraft onto the aircraft carrier with a crane like lifting bulk cargo. We do not have that high crane. And to be honest, such a war of attrition is very disadvantageous for us, and we must reverse the situation." General Benson said.

"The first question is actually easy to solve. I would like to ask, is there a new aircraft carrier in the United States of America now?" Su Xiong asked.

"The ship has been built, but the staff is not fully equipped," Sims said.

"That's good. Treat this aircraft carrier as an aircraft transport ship. Fill the aircraft in Hawaii, then arrive 300 kilometers away from the fleet, then release the aircraft, let the aircraft go through the last journey by itself and land on our front-line aircraft carrier. Isn't this a complete replenishment of carrier-based aircraft? Anyway, there is no need to perform front-line combat missions, and it is not a problem to have fewer personnel." Su Xiong said.

"What about the second question?" Benson asked.

"This is very troublesome. This involves aviation tactics, and I am not proficient in it. However, I think there are some similarities in all aspects of the war. Faced with the current dilemma, I think it is not good to suppress the Japanese ground targets at all costs or completely give up the offense and turn into a conservative defense. I think that before the aircraft carrier forces join the decisive battle of the fleet, the combat ideas of the aviation army should be changed." Su Xiong said.

"Change combat ideas?" Benson asked.

"Yes, change the combat thinking. After the army's long-range artillery suppressed some Japanese long-range artillery, our air force should turn the combat direction to suppress and harassing Japanese aviation forces. We do not seek to use bombs to completely wipe out the Japanese airports, nor do we seek to fully grasp the air superiority of the battlefield, but focus on how to efficiently hunt Japanese aircraft. If everyone fights a war and each loses the same aircraft, then I think it will be profitable for us in the long run." Su Xiong said.

"Speak on, do you have a specific plan?" Benson suddenly became interested.

"First of all, let's analyze the intelligence and see what Japan's aviation forces want to do. Judging from the current aerial photos and the confessions of the investigators, the Japanese Air Force has concentrated a certain number of twin-engine bombers on New Ireland. They may not have the ability to pose a threat to the large fleet, but they may be used for ground support. These bombers will be important targets for our hunt."

"At the same time, according to intelligence, although the Japanese army has established many airports on the front line, it lacks complete air defense firepower. Our reconnaissance aircraft even skipped from the target area several times without being effectively counterattacked. This shows that the Japanese army's air defense firepower is very poor, with very few anti-aircraft guns, and the number of anti-aircraft machine guns is not enough. Therefore, our carrier-based aircraft troops can completely suppress the airport. Note that it is suppression, not destroying. After all, the Japanese army will build hidden and reinforced hangars at some important airports. For carrier-based aircraft, it may be a bit difficult to destroy these things. We only need to form elite squads to attack Japanese aircraft that are taking off or landing, or occasionally attack aircraft on the apron to harass the opponent."

"These teams have very flexible combat concepts, and even the targets of attack are random. Generally, there is no need to set a task that must be completed. As long as they can make the Japanese army restless," Su Xiong said. This is actually an offensive defense, which belongs to the kind of attack you can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you, so everyone will disgust each other...

"That is to say, this is a disguised war of attrition, but we think that if the Japanese use land-based aviation pilots to consume the sea-based pilots of the United States, we will suffer." Sims is not optimistic about this method. To be honest, the Americans are not afraid of fighting attrition, but they hope to end the war soon. They don't want to fight on an island for several months!
