Chapter 1138: Prepare one

Chapter 1138

In the face of this problem, the prince did not push too much. The torpedo damage should be appropriately reduced according to the original data. After all, the charge of aviation torpedoes is only about 90KG. It's incomparable to shipborne torpedoes. As for the aviation bomb? Except for hitting some key locations and near missing bombs underwater, the damage value can be adjusted higher. As for bombs that hit other locations on the hull? Let Admiral Boll decide this by himself, but before finalizing it, the prince believes that Admiral Boll still needs to understand how terrifying a 300KG high-explosive bomb is when it falls. that is it.

So, after half a day of meetings, the two sides almost finalized the details of the entire exercise. The prince left the meeting room contentedly with his own stubbornness, and in the eyes of Tirpitz and Boll, looking at the densely written meeting memorandum, why do they always feel that they have signed an unequal treaty? !

Then what is finalized just cannot be changed. Admiral Ball also has to choose the right ship and the right personnel. At this time, Admiral Boll chose Major General Becken, who was also a little dissatisfied when he visited the aircraft carrier Wittelsbach. As a squadron commander, his level of intelligence is still acceptable. As for warships? The first three Bavaria ships in service were a bit early, and the personnel who served later were of a lower quality, so Admiral Boll chose the battleship Saxony as the target ship.

As for what to do next? That's the matter for Major General Becken. In his opinion, doesn't it mean avoiding torpedoes and bombs? Major General Becken has already experienced torpedo avoidance. In his opinion, there is nothing remarkable. As for avoiding bombs? He doesn't think the bomb hit rate of modern bombers can be high!

Compared with the work of Admiral Ball, the work of the prince is troublesome. This time the prince is serious! Is determined! It must not fail! Therefore, based on the principle that oneself is busy and others cannot relax, the Bavarian Air Force Director, Major General Harrel von Hallerstein, also felt Wilhelmshaven from Munich. This person is the executor of the Bavarian Air Force's tactical and technological innovation. Participated in the development of carrier-based aircraft, compilation of tactical tutorials and related exercises. It can be said to be experienced.

In fact, when Admiral Ball agreed with the prince's opinion, the second exercise had already won 80%! Why do you say that? Because of those exercise conditions? These are one reason, but not the core reason! The real reason, and the one that is most easily overlooked, is that the content of the exercise has changed! What was performed in the first exercise? The effect of small formations on water targets.

In fact, the torpedo attack effect is very good, the first round of attack actually hit the target, but the hit torpedo did not explode, causing a bad effect. But this time is different. As long as the torpedo can hit the target, it is a hit, and it is considered an explosion. This has ignored the question of whether the fuze is reliable!

The bomb attack accuracy of small formations is low, and there is no way. However, if flying in formation and then bombing with coverage, the accuracy will be improved. Experienced pilots are responsible for guiding the attack. Then, if nearly 10 aircraft are formed into a formation and dropped bombs at the same time, the hit rate will increase a lot. In fact, it will be 2 In war, this guided bombing is still an important way to improve accuracy.

And most importantly, the goal of this exercise is to see if we can sink a capital ship! Didn't say how many planes to use! If the underwater protection level of British battleships is used, although the aviation torpedo charges are smaller, according to the German Navy’s speculation, three shots are almost the same, and four shots are basically guaranteed. Now an aircraft carrier can take off in one wave. How many planes are there? At least 40! In other words, even one-tenth of the hit rate is enough to complete the task!

If the efficiency of the torpedo planes during the Second World War may not be high, there are reasons. First, the torpedo planes fly slowly and have a fixed attack route. They are easy to be shot down. If you go out a bunch of planes, you will be hit by the opponent's fighters. , And then were broken up by the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery or killed a batch. In the end, there were not many torpedoes that could be thrown. But now? There are no two important limiting factors in the front, and mines are dropped almost without interference. Although it is a battle, the hit rate is definitely not low. According to Major General Harrell’s estimation, even in the face of battleships, 4 aircraft If a formation above the aircraft carries out mines on both sides at the same time, the hit rate is at least 30%!

what? You said you can't take off 40? ! Please, biplanes take off in this age! Fighters can take off from a target on the battleship's main gun. The weight of the so-called torpedo is not two tons at full load! And because of the double wings, the take-off speed is not high, plus the deck wind provided by the Wittelsbach speed of up to 26 knots! With a deck length comparable to that of the Flying Dragon of World War II, and a deck width of the same level as Ruihe, the 40 planes that took off in World War I were really no problem at all! As for how many attack aircraft out of these 40 aircraft? Isn't this the prince who has the final say? Anyway, in addition to the prince's heart, everyone else is a club in this respect, if you can fool it, you will be fooled!

"If it's just to hit 4 torpedoes, even the most conservative estimate would be enough to use 20 torpedoes." Major General Harrell thought for a while and said.

"No, this time I definitely want to win more beautiful~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So I suggest that the number of aircraft invested be increased to 45, 28 torpedoes, and the remaining 17 are bombers." The prince said.

"Wait, an aircraft carrier takes off and landed 45 attack aircraft at a time. Isn't that difficult?" said the relatively real Major General Harrell.

"Actually, if it counts as a continuous attack within a period of time, it is okay. Anyway, they didn't say that it was only a wave of sorties." The prince said, this statement is also reasonable, if everyone is not required to rush in formation together If it is, then it will be stuck for a period of time. For example, from the first take-off of the first wave of planes, how many planes can be released in one hour, then with Wittelsbach’s release capability, 45 attacks will be taken off in one hour. The machine is really ok.

The method of operation is very simple. Before dawn, the first wave of attacking aircraft is placed on the deck, and the second half of the hangar is opened at the same time. The second wave of aircraft ready to attack is warmed up, refueled and loaded. After the release of the first batch of aircraft, the second batch of prepared aircraft quickly entered the deck for repositioning and release. This speed is actually very fast, at most half an hour, and the second wave can be all out.
