The engine equipped with the fa-466 is more powerful than the fa-423. It is two liquid-cooled db605 engines with a maximum power of 1,800 horsepower. It has a payload of nearly 3 tons and can carry 24 fully armed soldiers or 12 people + 2 stretchers + 2 nurses. The overall performance is slightly better than the fa-423, but the total range is slightly shorter, less than 800 kilometers.

The Rockets were all on the stage, but for the Air Cavalry Assault Battalion formed by Brandenburg troops and elite paratroopers, Air Cavalry Assault Battalion was too slow and troublesome for them. Their best skills were rope landing. Helicopters were released at low altitudes at hovering. The air cavalry landed with one hand and could also use the FG44 assault rifle (based on the paratrooper version of stg43) to crazily suppress the ground. Others, such as recoilless cannons, grenades, and iron fist bazooka, are all standard.

In addition to the big guys with double rotors, the single rotor King Kong also made a secret debut in another field.

As early as four years ago, the ultra-light carrier-based helicopter fi-282 was unveiled, and even successfully carried out take-off and landing tests in the 44-meter landing area on the cruiser. The nickname is Hummingbird. It can not only act as an anti-submarine aircraft to observe submarines around the fleet, but also serve as a transport helicopter to provide ships with small batches of vertical supplies (such as medicines), and can even complete artillery accelerator missions.

But the Navy's conservative requirement to land on the deck of cruiser-class ships has made this thing less capable of growing.

After Hoffman took the initiative to intervene, the fi-282 model was upgraded to fi-482, and the engine quickly increased from the 160-horsepower BMW sh14a to the 1800-horsepower db605 engine. The entire machine had an empty load capacity of more than 3 tons and was much larger than the Hummingbird. The Ministry of Military Affairs gave it the nickname of the albatross.

It seems that the model is derived from 282, but it is actually completely different from 282. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is to be pushed back and started over again.

Of course, the albatross is not majestic enough. Hoffman has already arranged the majestic name. Black Hawk, Cobra, etc. can tell the fierce names in a bunch. Of course, the American styles such as Apache, Comanche will be spared, so let's continue to leave them to the US military.

Unlike the twin-rotor fa-423 and fa-466, the fi-482 uses a single-rotor and is equipped with a tail pulp. The overall shape is completely modern. The designers initially did not understand why the head of state wanted to install this thing on his butt, and asked about the specific design principles and aerodynamic concepts. Where did Hoffman say it, let alone his own creativity. He only said that it was secret information obtained from the United States, and the US military helicopter basically looked like this.

The designers put the tail slurry test in a slight manner, and the flight status was indeed stable and flexible. Although it could not take off and land on cruisers, it was not a big problem on aircraft carriers, including escort aircraft carriers.

Compared with the navy's undeniable attitude, the top leaders of the army, including Guderian, cheered because the fi-482 not only installed heavy bulletproof armor on key parts, but also had very considerable firepower. It has a 30mmmk213 revolving cannon on both sides. When it fires tungsten-core armor-piercing bombs, not to mention the Tiger, even the Tiger 3 cannot withstand it. If it is installed with 20mmmg213, it can carry 6 additional rockets, of course, it can also be equipped with 4 20mmmg151. In that case, the ammunition will be carried very much, and the fire density will be greater may be laborious to fight tanks, but it will be very sour and refreshing to use soft targets such as armored vehicles and infantry, and it will be simply a whirlwind flying in the air.

The development ideas of the Ministry of Military Affairs are now even Americans understand: the main business is the main business, the air is just the side business, and all German anti-aircraft guns that cannot be used to the ground are garbage...

So a group of armored soldiers and generals yelled to establish a land aviation, with HNA, and why not have a land aviation? They even proposed to modify the specifications of the 1944 Armored Division to ensure that each armored division will be equipped with a helicopter in the future. The Air Force's face turned pale. Fortunately, no one dared to shout now that "all those who can fly in Germany are under my control." Yeshunnek pretended not to hear it. In order to achieve budget balance and control of the scale of organization, Guderian believed that it would be okay to have less equipment for tanks and self-propelled artillery, and when such armed helicopters are truly mature, they can be officially organized.

He was deeply touched at the acceptance site: "The Head of State said every day that the situation in Europe will take the lead in the future. I used to think that the armored division with high-performance general tanks, fully tracked infantry fighting vehicles, and fully self-propelled artillery is the rapid response force. Now it seems that the concept needs to be changed."

At that time, Hoffman shook his head: "Your understanding is not comprehensive enough. You will have a new feeling after reading it in two days."

"Two days?" Goodrian was intrigued at the time, "What new equipment is there?"

"Aren't you jealous of the Russian Il 2? Then you think hs-129 (not put into production) and ju-87g is not ideal?"

"Yes! So now the 1944-type troops are equipped with f-190f, which I think is quite good. Of course, I will never refuse the good things arranged by the head of state. I am open to all new things, and I am not old yet!"

"You won't refuse, but this thing must be in the hands of the Air Force." Yeshunnek interrupted first.

After two days of arrival at the test site, Guderian knew what it was: a fixed-wing attack aircraft with heavy armor, a 30mmmmmk213 rotary cannon and ground rocket rocket, but it was actually a jet type! It was finally the Army's turn to have a headache.

So Guderian decided to take advantage of the South African battle to experiment, hoping that the US armored forces could fight this time. After all, it was boring to be too weak, and it would be very refreshing to fight. But how can you ask for equipment and funds in the future? Without sufficient equipment and funds, where can you get the hat and seat? He, Guderian, became a marshal, but there were still a large number of people waiting to climb up. After all, people like Frank Baker are a minority (a major general of armored soldiers who were born as a doctor of dentist, known as an armored dentist, with a very strong command style). Except for being an officer, most people do not have the second skill to make a living.

In the future, Germany will definitely not be able to maintain such a huge force. It can only keep the best officers who are most suitable for the new war model and the most training potential. Everyone is smart. Except for some who are really tired and don’t want to be in the army anymore, many of them are trying to find ways to stay in the American Republic. OK; to the African Republic, you can; even to the Asian Republic! As long as you have German signs, you can!

Like Paulus, he served as the deputy chief of staff, and was a confidant and famous man in the head of state. He was flattered everywhere he went. After sitting on the bench for several years on the Western Front, he thought he was out of favor in the circle. He began to feel a little lukewarm with him. Now he heard that he was about to go to the German American branch to serve as the regional "president", and his attitude immediately turned 180 degrees again, and he was extremely enthusiastic. In Paulus's words, it was really "human warmth".

In his opinion, Kruger, Baker, and Halder, who were not famous and majestic at the time, now who remembers them? When they mentioned them, they were "traitor groups", I am afraid that the weeds in the cemetery would grow taller?

While debugging the parameters of the rockets, the introductory voice sounded again: "Although the helicopter is an epoch-making weapon, it is not fast and can easily be shot down by the opponent's ordinary fighter. In order to protect them, we need another epoch-making weapon. Please pay attention to the air. The king Ta-183 jet fighter that ruled the sky is about to debut! This model is nicknamed Raven, which is the second-generation jet fighter of our army. It is also the first aircraft in human history to break through 1,000 kilometers per hour. It can even approach the speed of sound when diving at ultra-high speed. Even if the external fuel tank or carrying a 500 kilogram aviation bomb, it can reach a high speed of more than 800 kilometers. The 4 20mm cannons can easily tear any large bomber apart, and it is even more difficult to fight enemy fighters..."

In fact, the crow has great potential, and can be equipped with 4 30mmmk108, but the rate of fire and ammunition offset is really tragic. After considering it, the experts from the Ministry of Military Affairs still recommend installing 4 mg213 or 2 mk213. Now the 30mm mk103mk108 air cannon series has basically entered the elimination stage. If you recall the original B-109 was only equipped with machine guns, everyone will feel like it is overturned. Only the Americans who are not enlightened still hold 6 heirlooms and don’t let go. Now there is no Sispanno machine can be "exported to import". The new US aircraft can only use 12.7mm machine guns, and finally remember to change the 6 to 8.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw eight planes passing by at high speed in the sky. Unlike the me-262, which had a dual-engine and large-sized model, these were all thick and short single-engine jets, and the speed did look faster than the me-262.

Ito Kazuichi lowered his voice and asked, "This is probably a manned V3, right? It flies so fast... I wonder if it can take off from the aircraft carrier?"

Seeing that this look was a bit like a silkworm cruise missile on the ground, the colonel behind him could only hesitate and nodded, and he had deep doubts about the aircraft carrier taking off. Perhaps it was not a big problem to fly, so why landing? At such a fast speed, it was afraid it would be difficult to stop on the deck.

Because the Ta-183 has been officially installed and entered the mass production stage, and the third-generation jet project in the military department has also entered a new demonstration stage, the second-generation product can be displayed for others to see.

Of course, the aircraft can be seen, and some things are still secret, such as the latest finished product provided by the Penemide Missile Base under the wings of the do-412 and ta-152: x-4x-6 air-to-air missiles. According to Hoffman's instructions, in the next 10 years, mature air-to-air missiles and excellent photoelectric radar systems will become the basic equipment for the third-generation (supersonic) jets.
