Now the principle of using aviation power of the fleets of both sides is as follows: under normal circumstances, seaplanes and aircraft carriers provide reconnaissance for the fleet. When the fleets of both sides meet, the aircraft on each main ship takes off, and the aircraft carrying radios are responsible for providing aviation accelerator for the warships. The fighter is responsible for driving away the other gun accelerator! At this time, both sides will release all the aircraft as much as possible, because it is not safe to leave these things on the deck. God knows when the shells will be thrown over... And after the battle, the seaplanes will be restored by other auxiliary warships. Just throw away those without pontoons.&1t;/p>

Is there any problem with doing this? There are naturally problems. In this era, the endurance of single-aircraft aircraft is really a problem... Generally, after a fighter jet is added with a float, the ideal endurance time will not exceed 2 hours. In other words, in the absence of an aircraft carrier, most of the aviation power of the fleets on both sides can only last for 2 hours. After that, most of the single-aircraft aircraft will withdraw from the battlefield due to fuel problems, and the possibility of refueling and taking off again on the battlefield is too low.&1t;/p>

However, this problem was not prominent in the previous battles. The reason was very simple. The real fierce confrontation between the two sides did not last long. The battle between the large fleet and the high seas fleet was almost a one-hit escape. It ended soon, and more time was spent on maneuvering. Although the high seas fleet killed Thomas' fleet for a long time, the German fleet had enough aviation forces, and Thomas was not interested in fighting when he realized that he could not win. So the German fleet saved a lot of aviation forces!&1t;/p>

"In fact, to a certain extent, the large-caliber naval guns of our battleships have higher killing efficiency. The aircraft should serve the main fleet as an auxiliary force, rather than let the battleships serve the aircraft carrier." Lieutenant General Schell said with some dissatisfaction. In his opinion, as long as luck is enough, the German fleet can destroy a British main battleship within a few minutes. As long as those aircraft are allowed to buy some time for their Bavaria, then there is hope that the German fleet will severely damage the British fleet when the German fleet is fully fired!&1t;/p>

"We do not need to provide a perfect output for the aircraft carrier fleet. After the British battle line is unfolded, even if our bombers can only drop bombs on it, it can cause great disruption to the British fleet." Schell added.&1t;/p>

"After the Air Force caused some trouble to the British fleet, the strength of the high seas fleet can cause fatal damage to the British fleet. In the case of unfavorable formation, even the enemy with a numerical advantage may not be able to exert any combat effectiveness. We can use naval guns to hit those British fleets with messy formations, and at the same time reduce the risk of the main fleet." Looking at the silent prince, Schell continued.&1t;/p>

"What if the British don't fight with us? The fast fleet can seize the fleet with slower flights and have the advantage and have the right to choose to fight. But in fact, these very beautiful settings in chart operations will be discounted in combat. The British have more than 4 dozen light cruisers and nearly 100 destroyers. They can use torpedoes and smoke screens to delay our attack. In one battle, our aircraft carriers can send up to 2 waves of aircraft. We had the previous battle with the British fleet, but our auxiliary warships could resolve our advantages again and again."&1t;/p>

"So, what we need is the advantage that the opponent's destroyers and light cruisers cannot resolve. Any attack on the sea can be resolved by the opponent's torpedo and smoke screen, at least to win time. What we need is the killer weapon that can kill the opponent at critical moments, rather than the wooden stick that can only injure the opponent." The prince shook his head and rejected Scher's opinion.&1t;/p>

"But our artillery is strong enough. The British warship armored defense faces our heavy artillery, especially the 15-inch naval gun, with very limited defense effects. We can penetrate the armor of almost all British battleships, including the Queen and Revenge class." Hippel said.&1t;/p>

"Have you seen the latest test report of the Navy's artillery factory? Is there any newly compiled technical information from the British Navy by the intelligence department?" The prince asked the attendant to send a stack of documents to everyone present.&1t;/p>

"Don't indulge in the glory of the past, don't always think that I'm the best in the world in technology. Look at the British v15oo I think everyone should know how terrifying the foundation of the British Empire is, both in technology and productivity!"&1t;/p>

"In fact, if it is just to prevent the warship from being killed in seconds, then the British don't have much to do. Put a fire door on both ends of the ammunition transporter and take fire prevention measures. Do not pile up spray bags in the turret, and then strengthen the dome armor of the ammunition compartment and power compartment section. The horizontal part is thickened by 1 inch, and the inclined part is thickened by 1.5 to 2 inches, so that the thickness of the inclined part reaches 3 inches. Then the 12-inch side-chord armor of the British battleship plus the 3-inch inclined dome armor is enough to block our 15-inch cannon at a long distance! If this is done, the weight increase will be within 1 ooo tons."&1t;/p>

"The British shells are also being improved. It is said that they have developed a hard quilt-cap armor-piercing projectile with stable fuses. It can penetrate 35omm thick hardened armor at a distance of about 15 kilometers. Although this penetration ability is resistant to our main armor belt. (because of the inclination and the removal of the quilt-cap) but in the near distance, the lethality of the turret, gun seat, tail and upper armor belt will be very high. After the British completed the improvement of the battleship defense and replaced the new armor-piercing projectile, the combat effectiveness gap between our single ships will be greatly reduced."&1t;/p>

"So, when the battle fleet has limited potential, all we can do is dig deep into the combat potential of aircraft carriers. And compared with naval guns, torpedoes are even more deadly when the range can be reached!" the prince said at the end.&1t;/p>

"Damn, I'm speechless..." Scher gave Hippel a helpless look. There was no way, the prince was very reasonable. Unless a shell landed directly on an ammunition depot that could be killed instantly, it would be really difficult to sink a main ship with shells... But torpedoes and mines are different from underwater defense systems. If the nb warship is hit by two anti-ship torpedoes on one side, it would be at least a heavy blow!&1t;/p>

Bavaria is strong in history? In Operation Albion in history, the Bavaria hit a mine and directly entered 1 ooo tons of water! The ship's draft increased by 2 meters! The ship's torpedo compartment was all submerged, and it was repaired for a month after returning home! (Of course, it depends on the location. The Elector of the Elector of the same thunder only entered 28 o tons of water...)&1t;/p>
