Chapter 2620: Guide one

Although Betty has successfully transferred from a battleship commander to an aircraft carrier commander, and he did a good job, as one of the few dual commanders, Betty still has a relatively correct understanding of the current naval battle situation. of. That is, the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers in this era is still relatively limited. It has a very important role, but it is not decisive.

First of all, the main output units on the aircraft carrier, bombers and torpedo planes are not yet mature. In this era, even German carrier-based aircraft, although they carried a bomb weight of up to 400KG, but under this load condition, the range of the carrier-based aircraft was very short. To make some metaphors, it would be like the medieval land warfare and battleship. It is equivalent to the phalanx infantry in the front row, and the aircraft carrier is equivalent to the archer in the back row! In the case of carrying a powerful bomb, it is almost equal to the relationship between the front and rear rows!

Well, even though the output of archers is high, even if they have crossbows or even muskets in their hands, they can shoot through the knight's heavy armor, but if there is no MT in the front row, is such a crispy output useful? And more importantly, in the face of the top battleships of this era, both ordinary bombs and 500KG light torpedoes have limited lethality. The time and interval of the aircraft carrier’s offensive preparation also affects its power. Of course, in addition to the problem of fragility and small combat range, the attack accuracy and survival rate of carrier-based aircraft, as well as the cost of pilots, are also not to be ignored.

In this era, the bomber's attack mode was still mainly horizontal bombing and shallow dive bombing. This mode was destined to not have high attack accuracy, but what about torpedo attack aircraft? It is true that torpedoes are more lethal than bombs, but the total number is too small. An aircraft carrier now has an average of less than 30 torpedoes. What does this mean? Torpedo planes are ammunition that can only be attacked by the whole army once, and the remaining scattered torpedoes are not so much ready for the second wave of attacks, but rather used as backup mines to replace unusable aviation torpedoes at any time.

(Of course, during the Second World War, the number of torpedoes on aircraft carriers was not too high. Large aircraft carriers were generally around 36 to 45 rounds. But at that time, the power and accuracy of the blockbuster bombs of carrier-based aircraft increased, 500KG even extreme. There are still some 800KG bombers, so the aircraft carrier’s attack power has improved very quickly. In fact, the main attack power of the 2nd battle aircraft carrier’s combat power is still bombs.)

And the accuracy of torpedo bombing is actually not high. On the one hand, the speed of torpedoes in this era is a bit slow, and on the other hand, because of the difficulty of throwing torpedoes themselves, torpedoes are definitely a technical job. You have to grasp the speed and height. Almost, when the torpedoes are thrown down, it is violent. Any impact may cause damage to the torpedo. Moreover, the torpedo aircraft has a relatively fixed route and very slow speed. This is definitely the favorite target of anti-aircraft artillery and enemy fighters.

Of course, there is another problem that cannot be avoided, and that is the loss of carrier-based aircraft. In this era, the speed of carrier-based aircraft was originally not fast. After carrying bombs and torpedoes, the speed is not even as fast as the general cars of later generations! The slow speed means that it is easy to be beaten by the opponent, which means that the opponent has a longer preparation time. Therefore, if the opponent has a fighter to cover, the loss of the carrier aircraft will be very huge.

Whether it is a German pilot or a British pilot, when they evaluate the single-engine attack fleet with a huge external plug, they all use the folded-wing turkey to describe.... This is also the reason why the crown prince has worked hard to consume Betty's carrier-based aircraft force before the decisive battle. Even if the German aviation power has a huge advantage, if Betty is complete and fully defends, then the loss will definitely be huge!

Therefore, the benefits of aircraft carrier fighters in this era are very large. With fewer fighters, the opponent’s air offensive power can be greatly reduced. After all, the current fighters have begun to use 20MM machine guns and 50 caliber machine guns, and single-shot wooden Not much to say about the performance and robustness of the fighter!

The loss of fighter jets will inevitably be accompanied by the loss of crew members. Although the planes are not valuable in this era, the pilots are valuable! The pilots who have been trained and have experienced warfare before, have not lost one enough to make the aircraft carrier commander heartache. Therefore, if nothing happens, according to Japan's current national strength and training methods, the quality of pilots will definitely decline steadily following the war... Therefore, even though Betty knows that aircraft carriers have many advantages, his assessment of aircraft carriers is relatively conservative when some disadvantages cannot be overcome.

"I have always believed that under the current situation, when the main fleets of the two sides are engaged in clear daylight, the battleship and auxiliary fleets in the front row can resist the opponent's attack is the core of the battle. The aircraft carrier is only a secondary attack force. Only after the battleship is hit hard can it play a decisive role." Betty said.

"This is true for a perfect and powerful fleet, but it is impossible for the Japanese Empire to have such a fleet, so we can only create a unique way, make a slant sword, and then win a greater victory at the right time, and then take the opportunity to end the war. ." Shitaro Yoshimatsu said very candidly. By now, he also understands that it is almost impossible to defeat his opponents militarily! Only retreat and seek peace is the way out.

"Very self-aware~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Betty said in her heart.

"Although, using warships to modify aircraft carriers has many advantages, such as higher hull standards and better defenses. However, the transformation is difficult, and the construction period can kill all possibilities. Therefore, I mean to use civilian ships to modify There is no need for a large civilian ship, because the operation of carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier has a limit. It is best not to exceed 70 carrier-based aircraft that an aircraft carrier can operate, and the remaining aircraft can be used as backup aircraft. Because of the space and space on the aircraft carrier Personnel is limited." Betty began to teach the Japanese seriously.

"Some German aircraft carriers use double-layer hangars. Double-layer hangars naturally have certain advantages. They have a larger operating area and more aircraft can be stored in the hangar, but the construction period is longer, which is more expensive for the current It is unacceptable for China. Therefore, I still prefer to use a single-layer open hangar for your aircraft carrier. The upper ceiling can also be suspended with some aircraft accessories as a supplement." Betty said.

"If this is the case, a considerable part of the carrier-based aircraft will inevitably be exposed on the deck, and you know that the wind and waves in the Pacific Ocean are very big." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu said.
