Chapter 1129: Harbinger III of the Aircraft Carrier (1/2)

Slide 1129

As for the bomber? If you bring a 250KG bomb and throw it at a shallow impact, if you can hit the flower, it is okay to set a fire, but you want to penetrate the core compartment? Let's wash and sleep with this. If the angle is not enough, the speed is not enough, and the weight is not enough, why do you punch through? ! If you really dare to play a large-angle dive, it is estimated that the plane will disintegrate before the hit, there is no way, the strength is not enough! You can't expect a thing with a combat weight of just over a ton to be so strong, it's not scientific! And if you can't dive at a large angle, attack accuracy is also a problem!

And these are just technical difficulties. Another problem that cannot be ignored is the training and skills of personnel. The so-called human quality is something that is elusive and difficult to make quickly! For example, throwing torpedoes. In fact, torpedoes are not as silly and thick as their appearance, and they can be made with great strength! The projection of aerial torpedoes is required, for example, the speed cannot be too fast, and the altitude cannot be too high, otherwise the torpedo may fail due to impact when it is in the water.

As for the dive bombing, the NB dive bomber crew can achieve a hit rate of more than 80% of the sea bombing in a certain battle. As for the rookie, hundreds of sorts may not have hit several rounds in the past. This is a situation where the upper and lower limits are very scary. Therefore, based on the personnel trained before, the prince can still produce one or two attack aircraft units with reasonable wing technology, but if you want to mass produce like in the second war ? That is impossible! Bavaria is just a kingdom after all!

One of the very important reasons for the prince to be able to walk on the technology tree of the aircraft carrier today is foresight and preparation. When it comes to torpedo bombing, bomber and pilot training, as well as takeoff and landing on aircraft carriers, the prince started doing it before the war. How many years have passed since? ! And because of these hard or soft conditions, the British can’t copy. There are many British aircraft, but you don’t have a ready carrier. It takes time to change the ship, and more importantly, the battle method. With the exploration of training, this is more difficult to solve than technical problems. It is estimated that by the time the British settled, the first battle would have ended, right? Do you really think that the torpedoes and bombs will become combat effectiveness? too young too simple! Don't talk about anything else, how do you solve it simply by navigating? How to guide the aircraft to fly beyond the visual range to attack the target and then come back. 2 battles often find no targets, let alone battle 1...

Therefore, the prince’s positioning of the aircraft carrier is an important auxiliary force. In the early stage, it was to curb the British's reconnaissance operations and enhance its own reconnaissance capabilities, but in the later stage, it would provide a limited attack power. For example, attack a warship that has been severely damaged, or interfere with the formation of the British fleet. Another problem is anti-submarine. Continuously hovering on the sea, so that the submarine dare not show up.

”Are these really important?” The Kaiser frowned and said, still hesitating.

”You can ask the generals of the fleet about this. Their aversion to the buzzing airplanes on their heads now exceeds that of the British submarines, and they are only behind the fleet.” said the prince.

”Well, I agree to add two more ships, but it is impossible for us to rebuild the hull. You can select suitable ships from cruise ships in the port or other ships and modify them. I can also provide aircraft and pilots. Provide an alliance, but the task of training is left to you. As for the funding, I can allocate some first, but you have to come up with a good enough record recently. After all, now the North Sea Blockade is closed again, the empire’s resources are very tight , The army has repeatedly asked for a reduction in naval expenses.” The Kaiser thought for a while and said.

”No problem. The winter truce lasts for several months. There will not be much activity on the Eastern Front. The Bavarian Army has to prepare for the next year's battle. I just have time to deal with the North Sea issue.” The prince said.

As for the shortage of supplies? This is for sure, but the current situation in the empire is much stronger than in history, and it could last for 4 years, not to mention now. The prince didn't pay much attention to this statement of the Kaiser at first. In fact, the goal of the Kaiser with whom the prince met this time has been achieved. The navy has received funding for the construction of an aircraft carrier and promised the Kaiser a retaliatory blow against the Royal Navy.

”Well, the navy matters will be left to you. As long as you don’t ask for additional funds, you can handle general matters. As for the fleet attack? Just tell me before the attack. I believe you can Good to complete this task.” The Kaiser said.
