Chapter 2220: Encounter two
Yes, you read that right, Jericho despised Ruprecht’s deployment in certain aspects, and in the same situation, Ruprecht also despised Jericho’s deployment! He thinks Jericho's deployment is not so good!
First of all, in Ruprecht’s view, it is a failure to incorporate the Hood fleet into the Thomas fleet. This is an over-stacking of forces without considering the actual performance. In theory, the 7 ships of the Thomas fleet The battleship plus the 4 battleships of the Hood fleet have almost three times the advantage of Hipper! On average, three battleships fought one battleship Hipper! But is the actual situation really good?
may not be! Among other things, when three battleships volley against a battleship, how do you distinguish the point of impact? Ruprecht made sure that the British did not add dye to the new shells. Observation of this impact point will become a considerable problem. Considering the poor artillery layout of Hood’s three first-generation dreadnoughts, the extra-long battleline of the Thomas Fleet and the short battleline of the Hipper fleet after deployment, there must be problems with the firing range of some battleships, so this Just like a parabola, as the number of warships increases, after exceeding a limit, the attack efficiency drops!
What's more, Ruprecht also prepared for Thomas's superiority over Hipper's fleet. Maybe after ten minutes, the performance of Hipper's fleet made Thomas of the opposing team feel pretty crooked, right?
Secondly, Ruprecht also disagrees with the deployment of capital ships. He has deduced countless times from the perspective of the British fleet and has come up with the best battle decision as a British! There is no guarantee of winning, but it should definitely be the best for the British.
That is, the idea to make the first battleship squadron and the second battleship squadron, the most powerful British battleship squadron, confront the weakest squadron in the German navy! If the second battleship squadron wants to take into account the position in the entire fleet to facilitate command, then let the first and third battleship squads attack the fourth and fifth battleship squads in Germany!
Is this plan a bit familiar? That's right, Hetian Ji horse racing is a bit similar! Use your most elite fleet to fight the opponent's weakest fleet to get the kill as soon as possible! There are many British ships and few German ships. Both sides must lose the same number of warships because the British have the advantage! If arranged in this way, the British battleships against the Bavarian-class battleships will certainly be killed, but the British have at least two points where they can score. Since it is a **** battle, then some things must be discarded altogether! (Hipper: Are you talking about me, His Royal Highness? The Crown Prince: How come? Just attack your 4 battlecruisers, and you won’t be the first one to throw.) This smooth layout is the best Not advisable.
The reason is very simple. Facing the Bavarian-class naval guns, is there any difference between the British Iron Duke, Orion and others? In fact, the British's super-dreadnought and dreadnought defense gap is not very big, so once a 15-inch shell passes, the spike will be a spike. It won't be too different because you are Iron Duke or Neptune. In this case, in the face of the high offensive of Bavarian-class battleships, why do you have to go to the Iron Duke? Why not try to use Iron Duke’s 12-inch steel plate and dome armor to block the German 350MM naval gun? The latter still has a chance to block...
Therefore, the best choice for the British set by the crown prince is to let the worst battleship block the German Bavarian-class battleship! Use destroyers and smoke to delay as much time as possible to create conditions for other fleets to fight output. As for being killed in the end, there is no way....
As for the last point, Ruprecht is actually a little envious and jealous. If Ruprecht were Jericho, he would definitely remove his ship from the battle sequence! After all, to be honest, even the Queen and Revenge are in danger of being killed by Bavaria. (For example, water bombs, the optimized German 15-inch shells are fully capable of penetrating the underwater protective layer of British battleship ammunition depots.) That means that all British battleship defenses are not reliable. As a result, Jericho also chose an Iron Duke as his flagship. Do you look at Betty's choice in history? Directly use the Queen Elizabeth as your flagship. It is also good to be able to fight and run defense. This is how well you can think about it!
As for Ruprecht, why didn’t he just leave the battle temporarily? The willingness is simple. The number of German battleships is inherently small. Each battleship needs a carrot and a pit. How can there be redundant battleships for Ruprecht to act as a command ship alone? As for the light cruiser? This space and conditions are too bad, it is impossible, as for the use of aircraft carriers? This thing is far away from the battlefield, how to command it?
In order to prevent the British fleet from taking care of their ships, the German fleet has also made some deployments or disguise, which will probably cause some trouble to the British fleet by then!
That's great. Ruprecht thinks that there are many problems with the deployment of the British fleet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Can it explain that Jericho, as the commander, is not worthy as the commander of the large fleet? This is not the case. There is no harm if there is no comparison. This time, Jericho encountered a naval-specialized traverser. Not only did he understand himself but also the enemy, he used the vision of a traverser from a century later. Looking at some things in this era, there will naturally be many flaws, or because of certain historical limitations or different opinions, Jericho's judgment in the final battle has been biased.
At least he strengthened the Thomas fleet to focus on output, and even used the large fleet as a decoy method in the general direction! Concentrating air defense forces to ensure the safety of the fast fleet is also right. If he chooses to decentralize limited aviation forces, the result will only be worse. The result of fortification everywhere will be loopholes everywhere.
Jericho is not lacking in sacrifice, and has a certain tactical acumen, but it is a pity that it is not thorough enough, and some key details are still not grasped!
However, the configuration of the British did have some impact on Ruprecht’s deployment in battle. For example, according to the plan, the Helgoland-class battleships of the German Fourth Battleship Squadron are needed to contain the revenge. However, the revenge is now The position is at the forefront of the British fleet, so in order to facilitate future changes, the fourth battleship squadron should be in the forefront, replacing the four Bavarian-class battleships of the first battleship squadron as the head of the team. Now, the German fleet is a rectangular formation. , It takes some time to adjust!
