Chapter 1143

At this time, the German emperor considered the problem from the same angle as the prince. For certain deadly weapons, such as torpedoes, the pure hit rate is actually not important, because this kind of thing may be fatal if it is hit. German warships are relatively strong, and torpedoes are less lethal. But for British warships that are not very well protected under water, 2 of them may be fatal, 3 of them are more likely to die, and 4 of them can be ready to sink. Not to mention that more than 20 aircraft hit 4 rounds. For an aircraft carrier, I can hit 4 rounds by hitting 40 torpedoes on a battle day. If you kill a super fearless, it will be a profit! At this time, it is better to care about the hit rate than to care about how many planes an aircraft carrier can dispatch at a time and how many torpedoes it can hit!

"Ruprecht, how many planes can your aircraft carrier Wittelsbach carry? And how many attack planes with torpedoes can be dispatched at one time?" The Kaiser asked this question again. And this time when he said this, it was no longer a simple inquiry, but a very formal inquiry that would greatly affect the future of the German Navy!

"90 aircraft, if it is the first wave of attacks, I can take off at least 30 aircraft in the first wave, 20 of which are attack aircraft, and then give me 40 minutes at most, and I can dispatch another 20 to 25 aircraft. Attack aircraft, based on the current air defense capabilities of the British fleet, these aircraft can completely sink any battleship they encounter!" The prince thought for a while and said.

"So how many times can such a fleet be dispatched a day?" the Kaiser continued to ask.

"If the time period is stuck within 1 hour, then at most one attack. After the aircraft is released, it will still need to be recovered, refuelling, reloading and reconditioning. This time will be very long, and at the same time, the number of torpedoes on the aircraft carrier It's also limited." The prince is telling the truth. In fact, referring to the aircraft carrier's aircraft launch efficiency in World War II, there are generally two waves, and three waves would be the best. The attrition of the aircraft in the 2 combat environment is naturally a factor that limits the attendance rate. At present, although there is no need to consider how NB the British seaplane air defense is. But it takes a long time to recover the aircraft and recondition it. And another factor that cannot be ignored is the torpedo carrying capacity of the aircraft carrier.

How many torpedoes can an aircraft carrier carry? If the prince remembers correctly, the number of torpedoes carried by aircraft carriers of the Essex and Dafeng class generally does not exceed 45 rounds. Although the torpedo on this plane is a bit smaller... Although considering this or that reason later. (I can't elaborate on this for the time being.) But now Wittelsbach’s torpedoes carry the most to about 45 rounds. Not too high. So this is another reason why you have to bring bombs when the bomb hit rate is not high, because there are not enough torpedoes!

And just when the Kaiser wanted to ask a few more questions, the battle in the distance resumed. The smoke screen released by the Saxon could no longer provide cover for the battleship. The time for the smoke to cover the battleship was much shorter than previously expected. This has nothing to do with the sea breeze, but because of the perspective.

"The smoke screen of the Saxony only lasted about ten minutes. In the past, in the face of battleship shelling, it could provide at least 25 minutes." Hipper explained to the Kaiser.

"Smog can't save the fleet, it can only provide the fleet with an opportunity to retreat or counterattack. If it encounters a situation where it cannot be beaten and cannot escape, it will only delay the time of defeat. One of the biggest advantages of aviation is absolute There is no such thing as being unable to catch up with a battleship!"

When the smoke screen cleared, if Major General Becken saw the first wave of the Air Force's attack just depressing, then when he saw the sky full of planes again, he now felt desperate! Because this time a direct formation of 9 bombers and 8 torpedo planes attacked the battleship Saxony at the same time! The previous attack took the Saxon off guard like a brick, but this time, a sledgehammer hit the major general in the face! For the first time he realized that such a humble airplane could be so terrible!

Previously, the battleship Saxony could jump a bit in the face of air strikes, but now, it has been judged to have received moderate trauma after being hit by two torpedoes. The battleship Saxony, whose speed is overwhelmed by 18.5 knots, is really nothing! And this wave of attacks directly pushed this exercise to a climax!

The smoke screen temporarily obscured the plane's view, but at the same time it also greatly reduced the anti-aircraft alert ability of the battleship Saxony, and the smoke screen was equal... Thus, the tragedy appeared. When the Saxon rushed out of the smoke screen, when the watchman still couldn't distinguish the situation, the Seahawks who stood tall and looked farther had launched an attack! Eight torpedo planes were in front and nine dive bombers were behind, rushing towards the target with a speed of only 18 knots!

"Fuck! It's over!" When the watcher saw the attack aircraft with the help of the smoke screen, the latter was only 3000 meters away from the battleship! Throwing about 800 meters to the launch distance of the torpedo, these deadly wasps only took more than 1 minute to enter the attack range! At this time, the people who control the battleship below still know nothing!

Therefore, before the watchman had told Major General Becken of the situation cleanly, and before the decision-makers of the Saxon had not reacted, the four torpedo machines were dropped cleanly and neatly with little defense. 4 torpedoes!

Except for one torpedo that may have shattered the steering gear after entering the water and started Bronco movement on the sea, the other three torpedoes directly hit two of them, and these two shots were shot just now. On the port side, the tragic battleship Saxony was judged to have hit 4 mines on the left side!

The third torpedo hit the middle of the hull, where the TDS is the thickest, so the damage caused is relatively small. But the position of the fourth serve was terrible. This torpedo hit almost the same position as the first torpedo! If in actual combat, two torpedoes hit a British battleship at almost the same position, then a hole that is more than ten meters long will never escape! And hit 4 torpedoes unilaterally? ! Even for aviation torpedoes, more than 80% of British battleships are estimated to kneel directly! Maybe the queen and revenge may still survive.

"Well, there is no need to fight this battle. If the opponent is using real torpedoes, then the area before the No. 2 turret of the Saxon can be completely submerged in water and fish can be raised!" The judge team confirmed. After reaching the position of Zhonglei, he directly spoke to Major General Becken. Another meaning is that this battle is no longer needed. If the ship were a British warship, 80% would have been sunk. Direct 20 shots!

"If emergency repairs are arranged, this warship is still old." Major General Becken said grimly.

"The premise is that the opponent will not continue to attack. If it is in actual combat, then the battleship is now at a speed of up to 12 knots. And there has been a serious leftward tilt, and it is difficult to even say whether it can be effectively controlled. If it is counted. In terms of water intake, if 4 aircraft torpedoes hit a single side, why do they have to flood more than 3,200 tons?" said an officer of the referee team.

When the two sides had a dispute, the Seahawks' attacks did not stop. To be honest, this period of time was very short, only about 3 minutes. Four more torpedo planes rushed to the starboard side of the Saxon and dropped four torpedoes. Well, exercises are always delayed. While the referees and Major General Becken were arguing about whether the ship could continue to fight, the Saxon had been sailing at the previous speed of 18 knots. After all, it is not really a thunder. Therefore, this time the lightning strike hit a bit lower, and only one torpedo shot up, but the position of the shot was terrible...

The 400-kilogram torpedo entered directly from the starboard side, and then hit a rudder on the right side of the back of the Saxony hull! After all, it is a tuft of more than 400 kilograms of steel moving at a speed of 35 knots. If it really hits, even if there is no explosive, it will be enough to crush the rudder and affect the high-speed rotating propeller next to it!

Accompanied by a dull and crisp sound, the huge rudder was smashed into pieces, and the large or small fragments directly rushed to a propeller that was rotating at a high speed in the violent impact, and the rotating blade was directly broken by the fragments. Shattered. It even caused some damage to the drive shaft. The entire hull even vibrated slightly. From the rear compartment of the hull, you can clearly hear the harsh sound of metal products and glass~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This really shocked Major General Becken. The decisive order shut down the two steam turbines on the starboard side.

"It seems to be a big game this time..." When Schel saw the news that a rudder and a propeller on the starboard side of the Saxon had been crashed, he wiped a cold sweat. He really didn't expect such a serious accident in one exercise. "I suggest that the exercise should be stopped immediately, there is no point in entanglement anymore!"

"But those **** don't seem to think that way?!" Major General Becken said, pointing to the bomber flying fast in the air. After the second wave of torpedo planes ended their attack, the first wave of bombers finally entered the battlefield. To be honest, they have not received the order to end the exercise, so naturally they will throw the bomb down!

The first bomber passed from an altitude of 300 meters at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour. Then he threw the bomb decisively to the side of the Saxon, and a jet of water came up almost against the ship's side. The eight attack planes behind formed a loose triangle formation and passed over the Saxony. After referring to the information provided by the guiding plane, eight 50KG training rounds fell one after another.

The second is more~~~! The big chapter of 3K~~~!
