Azur Lane: Commander's Code of Conduct

On the endless sea, several slim figures quickly crossed the sea. The sea below the feet of the two girls was like flat ground. Its vigorous figure stirred up waves as it passed over the sea.

Carrier-based aircraft took off from the ship's armor plate on the girl's body. It rushed into the sky like a flying bird, then dispersed in the sky, got into a fighting formation, and rushed in the other direction.

The two figures alternately covered each other, one on the left and the other on the right, directing the carrier-based aircraft to rush in the same direction. They seemed to be in perfect harmony. Obviously, this kind of cooperation did not happen once or twice.

"The radar has determined the enemy's position. The enemy did not deliberately interfere with the radar monitoring. It seems that they want to have a head-on battle with us, which is really exciting." In the communication channel, Bumblebee's voice sounded in Essex Ringing in the ears.

"Don't be careless. The opponent is very powerful. Start conventional combat methods first. Don't be too aggressive. The current primary combat goal is to seize air supremacy and suppress enemy carrier-based aircraft. The opponent is an armored aircraft carrier. In theory, the armor strength will be increased. At the same time, The number of carrier-based aircraft will be less than ours, and we need to expand this advantage, try to achieve suppression through numbers, and gain a combat advantage." Essex's calm voice sounded on the channel.

The two are already old partners, and they have a perfect understanding of each other. In just a few words, they decided on a battle plan. Covering each other and rushing in the same direction.

After all, the most critical part of fighting in the sea is to find the enemy. The so-called enemy detection, as the name suggests, is to discover the enemy's intelligence.

Especially for aircraft carriers, the sooner the enemy's traces are discovered, the sooner they can carry out air strikes against the enemy. At the same time, it can also avoid entering the range of the battle line and prevent being killed by a powerful battleship with one shot.

After all, the truth is only within the range of the cannon. In other words, as long as I am outside your range, then I am the real truth.

Solving battles outside the enemy's visual range has always been the most mainstream combat plan for aircraft carriers. But now they are fighting from aircraft carriers, and there are no vanguard air defense ships to guard them. Moreover, it is still an exercise and combat, which is originally to test the strength of both sides. Hiding the identity is of little use, so the radar search for the enemy is actually meaningless.

However, without even releasing radar interference, it was obvious that Guanghui had given up on taking the initiative and chose to fight defensively.

"Well, the fighter formation really started out as a test? But it's not that easy to gain air supremacy in front of me so quickly." Guanghui looked at the information fed back by the radar and smiled.

Among the many aircraft carrier girls in the port area, perhaps my output is not as powerful as Enterprise, Saratoga and others. It has the ability to instantly sweep across the battlefield, clear the sea, and decide the outcome with a single air strike.

But when it comes to protecting teammates and seizing air superiority, she still believes that she is no weaker than anyone else.

The commander once even prepared a set of specialized air defense equipment for her to target certain special sea areas. Although she didn't wear it for long, she quickly changed it back to regular equipment.

My combat level is much higher than that of Hornet and Essex. If the two of them cover each other's cross defense, rely on their own air defense fire support, and constantly use combat carrier-based aircraft to engage in a war of attrition, even if they themselves They are stronger than them, but it may not be that easy to quickly gain air supremacy within their defense range.

It's not that easy, it just takes a little more effort, just a little...and now.

Both the Hornet and Essex are equipped with a fighter, a bomber and a torpedo aircraft. There is no particular tendency in the equipment configuration. I am equipped with two fighters and a torpedo aircraft. The air superiority capability has been strengthened and the output capability has been weakened. Therefore, although the number of carrier-based aircraft is relatively small under normal circumstances, the anti-air capability is not weak at all.

The Hornet belongs to the Yorktown class and is not stronger than the Glory class in terms of basic data. The Essex class is a newer model of aircraft carrier.

Kouki recalled the situation in Essex, his port area. Although Essex joined the Docklands much later than itself. But in terms of ship data alone, the Essex class is better than the Glorious class.

At least Essex is stronger than itself, but the competition now is air superiority. As long as air superiority is firmly controlled, whether bombers and torpedo planes can take off is a problem.

But the level of this Essex is obviously very low. Commanders often say that if your strength is not enough, you need to level it up; if your level is not enough, you need equipment to make up for it. Her current strength, level, and equipment are superior to those of the other party, so what can the other party do to defeat her?

Guanghui smiled slightly and stood still. The ribbon-like uniform fluttered behind her and wrapped around her waist. In a flash of thought, several Tiger Cat fighter jets appeared on the flight deck, shooting into the sky with a golden light, facing the enemy planes that were swarming in densely.

Watching the Tiger Cat fighter jet soar into the sky, Guanghui couldn't help but recall the F6F Hellcat fighter jet he had used before.

Compared to the Hellcat fighters that can be seen everywhere in the port area, almost everyone has one. The Tiger Cat is obviously more powerful and rare, and not many people in the entire port area can use the Tiger Cat fighter jet. For most aircraft carriers, the most used fighters are Hellcats, Spitfires and the like.

But I prefer the Hellcat fighter.

After all, when Minato was still very weak, it was probably not long after the Commander joined Minato. I remember the commander told himself excitedly at that time. He found the strongest fighter assembly plan for himself, saying that he would give himself the best fighter jet, and then he repeated operations day after day in the combat sea area named 5-2. Just to salvage her Hellcat equipment blueprints.

In my impression, until now, the commander has never specifically sought out a specific piece of equipment for any ship girl. Even when the gold steering gear blueprints were salvaged later, they were not salvaged specifically for anyone.

So although the Hellcat has since become a standard piece of equipment for everyone. I have already replaced myself with new and more powerful equipment. But when it comes to liking it, I still prefer the previous set of equipment.

But after he changed his equipment, the Hellcat was already used by others. And there were many major changes in equipment during this period. It is not clear whose hands the fighter plane is now.

Putting back his cluttered thoughts, the Tigercat fighter jets had already made contact with the enemy fighters in the sky. As soon as they made contact, their carrier-based aircraft formation tore holes in the enemy's formation.

In fact, no matter how perfect the formation is, it has its own flaws, so they need to fight together with their companions in battle. When facing stronger enemies, their exposed flaws are even more fatal.

He controlled the tiger cat and slowed down the attack a little. Now he didn't have to defeat them all at once, he just had to defend against their attacks first.

The tiger cats are like real tigers descending from the mountain, soaring in the sky wantonly. Even if they are fewer in number than the enemy, with their faster speed, they can easily break through the enemy's air defense blockade and circle behind the enemy carrier-based aircraft. .

Spewing out fierce tongues of fire, it dodged all attacks and easily defeated the locked carrier-based aircraft.

The Tiger Cat was flying wantonly. Hornet and Essex commanded the carrier-based aircraft to try to surround and kill the Tiger Cat, which was invincible and rampaging in the sky. However, the opponent deftly broke out of the encirclement and counterattacked with many more carrier-based aircraft. Shot down.

If you want to send bombers and torpedo planes to directly attack the glory, you can see that there is always a small group of tiger cats wandering outside the entire battlefield, obviously guarding against the entry of other fighters.

This makes them even more afraid to summon bombers and torpedo planes. After all, with the anti-air combat capabilities of bombers and torpedo planes, if they are targeted by enemy fighters, they may be directly annihilated.

"It's not just due to flying skills. The speed and firepower of the opponent's fighter jets are simply astonishing. Our attacks can hardly hit her at all, and her firepower can easily destroy our carrier-based aircraft."

Although the two of them had imagined that the fight might be difficult. But I didn't expect it to unfold like this. The opponent even used a very small fighter formation to easily gain the air superiority.

At this time, although the battle in the air is still continuing. The two of them can still continuously invest in fighter jets to support the air battle. But if this result continues, failure will obviously happen sooner or later. There is no need to continue the battle.
