Chapter 1237: Fleet Battle One

Chapter 1237 Fleet battle (1)

But in fact, this set of tactics also has too many theoretical problems. First of all, warships all roll, and different warships have different roll cycles. The earliest problem of artillery was to solve the shooting problem of all artillery at a certain roll angle... The Russian tactics simply cannot solve the problem of the three warships rolling in the same state. Even the most basic requirements for long-range shooting cannot be met.

The information transmission of battleships also has a time delay. The Russians found in an experiment that the firing time of the main ship and the slave ship could be 10 seconds apart... Lieutenant Eberhardt said he was also drunk. But then, the Russians still said that they were optimistic about this strategy. And today is finally going to show it on the battlefield!

The rangefinder on the top of the Prinz Eugen locked the distant Russian fleet firmly in the center of the lens. After the fire control personnel used the adjustment **** to magnify the originally blurred target by 23 times, they could even clearly see 4 tiled turrets with Russian characteristics. The cross of the eyepiece was firmly pressed in the middle of the target, and then based on the data of the Russian warship obtained before, the fire control personnel transmitted the speed and orientation of the Russian warship to each main turret!

In order to ensure the accuracy of shooting, the German supervision deliberately restricted the speed, sailing at the speed and direction similar to the Russian fleet, and the huge twin-mounted 350MM main gun was quickly pointed at the target. Following the firing order, the Prince Eugen spewed out fire dragons more than ten meters long!

The shells screamed and flew to the opposite Russian fleet. When the Germans started the third and half salvo, the Russian fleet finally broke its silence. The first was the Empress Maria and then the Alexander III. The Russians' "Trinity" tactics are indeed not as good as imagined. The so-called first-round salvo was only played 5 minutes after the opening of other warships!

In a pure fleet engagement, the German fleet quickly gained an advantage. If two Russian dreadnoughts can also rely on up to 12 main guns to obtain the so-called "asymmetric advantage", the design and interval of 6 shells each time If a shot once every 20 seconds can cause a certain amount of pressure on the Prince Eugen and the Tegerhof, then the three Russian former fearless shots at this distance against the Reshadia are completely blind! So much so that at the end of the battle, before interrogating the Russian captives, the German naval officers and soldiers on the Rechadia didn't think that they had been fired by three fearless former Russian ships at the same time...

"Aren't the last two Russian dreadnoughts attacking the Ferdinand?" After the war, the German officer in charge of interrogating the Russian prisoners of war expressed incomprehension to the Russians' confession.

To be honest, Quasi-Dreadnought is also divided into six or nine grades. The more powerful Quasi-Dreadnought can beat the early dreadnought ships. For example, the Ferdinand equipped with 8 main guns and 6 guns on the side string. If it's worse, it's not much different from the ordinary Fearless. For example, the Russian Yevstafi has only two 8-inch guns besides four 12-inch guns on the side strings... At this distance, there is really no difference from the former fearless...

Then, I don’t know yet that the Reshadia, which has been targeted by the opponent's Trinity, easily beat the Yevstafi at the forefront. After the latter had just shot a salvo, two shots with a destructive atmosphere The 350MM main artillery shells successfully hit this poor battleship.

As a pre-fearless ship, its defense is naturally impossible to resist the attack of German 350MM heavy artillery hardened and capped armor-piercing shells, and as a pre-fearless ship, its "health bar" is not so long due to its 10,000-ton displacement. Just one hit brought disaster to this poor warship!

The first shell directly hit the turret located at the bow of the ship. The 11-inch vertical armor facing the shell weighing more than 600 kilograms was almost like paper. The hardened quilt and the hardened layer of the armor were shattered at the same time and exposed. The coming warhead easily left a circular radioactive bullet hole in the turret like cutting butter!

A dazzling flash suddenly burst out of the originally dim turret. Then, the exploded shells easily destroyed a 12-inch artillery with a servo device. The tons of steel turned into countless shrapnel and leaped against the narrow turret. In just a few seconds, the tide of flames and shock waves turned the entire turret into hell! And when the shells detonated the ammunition rack located behind the turret, the violent explosion even tore the armor top cover of half of the turret. A fire dragon over 50 meters long rose into the sky, and the entire battleship seemed to be shaking.

The other shell was equally deadly. This shell entered the water at a distance of 40 meters from the target. After entering the water, the shell quickly straightened under the impact. Although the hood was shattered by the impact, the remaining part still pierced straight like a torpedo. A distant goal. The Leshadia successfully fired a water bomb, directly locking the fate of this poor battleship.

Accompanied by an indescribable piercing sound, the sharp warhead easily tore the fragile hull plate, and then with hundreds of tons of sea water, tore a large hole of several square meters in the middle of the battleship! The shell continued to move forward, passing through the empty bin and the coal bunker at the back, smashing two old three-expansion steam engine bombs that were operating at high speed. A huge orange fireball rose from the middle and rear of the hull, and the blast generated by the explosion even blasted two 6-inch guns and three 12-pound guns into the sky~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then the thick smoke that gushed up soared, The effect of this attack can be clearly seen even on the Lechadia 15 kilometers away.

Faced with enough water bombs to make Super Fearless feel scared, this blow was enough to set the battle! The Yevstarin that was pierced underwater received more than 1,400 tons of water in a very short period of time, which is undoubtedly a disaster for its just over 10,000 tons. What’s even more tragic is that the division of compartments is not scientific, and there are horizontal connections between compartments. With the influx of a large amount of seawater, each compartment was broken. In just a few minutes, this poor ship The Russian battleship tilted 15 degrees, and in the case of loss of power, the fate of this battleship has been decided!

"Okay, change the target, this guy can leave it to the destroyer." The captain of the Rechadia looked at his results with satisfaction and ordered the gunner to lock the heavy artillery on the next target.

At the same time, the two Austro-Hungarian super-fearless Prince Eugen and Tegerhof were fighting with two Russian super-fearless ships, but there was no one-sided situation. The main guns of Prince Eugen were powerful, and Russia There are more main guns!
