"Let's kill those twin-engine and four-engine aircraft first. The little guys hand over the j-3 fighter." The target of the fighter is the bomber that does not throw away the bomb, and the target of its own fighter is naturally the other side's interceptors with strong firepower. The Russians' single-engine aircraft have very weak firepower, which is the kind of type that as long as the German pilot's luck is not particularly bad, it is almost difficult to kill. Then in this airspace, the biggest threat is naturally those twin-engine aircraft!
"Stupid like a duck with wings!" When the popular Baron and an almost stunning Ilia bomber passed by, two 20mm machine guns and three 12.7mm machine guns took less than 5 seconds to knock the opponent into a burning fireball. After destroying the first target, Richterhofen gently leveled the plane, then accelerated away, and threw the two guys who were trying to follow him and bit his tail away! Then climbed again in a safe place and gained a height advantage, and chose the opponent again, dived, attacked, and dragged away, and completed it in one go! In an instant, a Newport-12 aircraft was once again smashed into pieces.
The entire air combat stage has no suspense. The Russian Air Force, which has been beaten by the Bavarian Air Force for several years, can no longer find a few pilots with combat experience. A group of pilots with only a dozen or even a dozen hours can fly the plane to the sky and then fall down safely. As for killing the opponent, please, they don’t even know how to save their lives! This gap in personnel quality is even more fatal than the lack of enough aircraft by the Russians! After all, pilots are different from infantry. The former requires high-quality talents, not those reckless men who can rush up with a rifle!
The planes of both sides kept hovering in the air, and balls of bullets drew trajectories in the air, chasing each other's targets. In this battle, the Luftwaffe pilots no longer deliberately pursued hovering and biting their tails. Because they found that this tactic of relying on horizontal maneuvers was unfavorable to their own side.
"Horizontal maneuver depends to a large extent on the wing load. The lower the wing load means the more flexible your steering and hovering. Compared with the aircraft you use, the weight of the new j-3 aircraft has increased, and the wing area has not increased, so the wing load has risen sharply, which has caused the plane's horizontal maneuver to deteriorate. If you still use the old fighting method at this time, I can only say, I wish you luck."
"Our biggest advantage lies in speed and climbing. The more powerful engine makes our flight speed about 50% higher than that of the Russians! If you find that the Russians are around you, then it's better, just open the throttle valve and fly straight at the highest speed to ask your opponent. Then, climb, find a target in the sky, find a suitable opportunity to launch a dive siege. It's best to knock it out, it doesn't matter if it can't be knocked out. Just do it again. In short, we must remember that your plane either has an altitude advantage or a speed advantage. In short, you can't let yourself fall into a low-altitude and low-speed state! Because, you were the most vulnerable at that time!"
When every Bavarian pilot enters the battle, their commander will repeat the above sentence constantly to remind them to abandon some outdated tactics.
These advice is still useful at present because the Russians found that they could hardly catch their opponents! "German aircraft generally hovered at an altitude of more than 3,500 meters, and dived and attacked after finding an opportunity. They would never entangle with us. Even if they could bite them occasionally, they would run away before they entered our range." The Russians commented on their opponents this way.
Overall, the scale of the Russian Air Force's dispatch this time exceeded the expectations of the Bavarian Air Force. There were always some Russian fighter jets who rushed past the interception and flew towards the bomber group that was standing by on the edge of the battlefield! They rushed over like hungry wolves who discovered their prey. Under the sunlight, the machine guns shining with cold light were like the claws of wolves, ready to tear the opponent into pieces at any time. However, when they approached, they found that the opponent in front of them was not a flock of sheep, but a group of dinosaurs!
How could the K-6 bomber designed self-defense firepower be easily bitten by the Russians? Century bombers were divided into three rows of upper, middle and lower at vertical height, while horizontally, a diagonal line. The entire aircraft is protected by three-dimensional self-defense firepower. Raid from any direction will be subjected to violent strafing of several aircraft and more than a dozen machine guns. In this era when the fighter jets did not have enough armor and their firepower was mainly dominated by ordinary heavy machine guns, if you want to forcibly tear open such a defense system, you can only say that luck is more important than strength...
When the Russian aircraft group approached, hundreds of machine guns roared through the sky. Every second, bullets of more than four digits were spilled into the sky to form three-dimensional fire nets. Russian aircraft were like walking through caves filled with spider webs. If they were accidentally bitten by bullets with a breath of death, they struggled to fly, watching the teammates beside them being torn to pieces in the blink of an eye, and watching the oncoming bullets knocking the plane and themselves into a ball of flame, life and memory were frozen at this moment. The huge German bomber group flew in an orderly formation, as leisurely as a giant in his back garden.
"The Russian Air Force's performance is even worse than their army. In the air strikes on the Russian Baltic fleet, it can be seen that the Russians are doing their best to ensure the safety of their fleets. However, it has to be said that their air force does not pose any threat to us. In addition to the casualties, it has consumed some of our ammunition. From now on, I can responsibly say that the sky on the Eastern Front has become the sky of the Allies." In the battle report in Harrel, the major general of the Bavarian Air Force wrote sarcastically.
"It seems that the guys of the Air Force have solved most of the problems, and General Hippel may be dissatisfied with the actions of their fellow countrymen." At this time, Major General Hopman's light cruiser detachment had arrived at the battlefield. Looking at the sea that had been scrambled into a pot and the Russian fleet fleeing in the distance, the Major General of the High Seas Fleet quickly judged the entire situation.
