Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

When the battle line hits, the enemy fire is largely a psychological tactic. Because unless the warring parties are close together, even if the gunner is a blind man or a drunk, he will not be biased. Under normal circumstances, the use of the first round of shelling is not only to find the accurate head, but also to boost the morale of one's own party and intimidate the enemy fleet.

The first round of shelling at a distance of 13,000 meters caused a near-missing shot or something... Either the enemy ship has a good gunner, or luck is scary, or else the enemy ship is equipped with an extremely advanced sighting device. In the worst case, all three are...

that's too bad.

Either way, they will not be seen by officers and men of the Principality Fleet.

As a technical arm, the navy was supposed to be the most scientifically advocating group of people, but in fact, whether it is at sea or in the air, the navy is superstitious, even more superstitious than the army. Navy officers firmly believe that what really determines the outcome of a naval battle is actually a variety of unforeseen accidental factors, when and in what form these factors will appear, what kind of influences, etc., only Related to one thing: luck.

If a captain’s luck is good enough, even in the most fierce naval battle, his warship will not be hurt if it is besieged by multiple enemy ships, but if his luck is bad, the enemy ship’s first round or The second round of salvo would hit his warship's ammunition library with surprising precision. As another example, if a battleship has good luck, not only will it be lucky, but it will also be a friendly ship that Fuze will sail with. Conversely, if this ship is the legendary "Luoyan Lord", then the other warships attacked with it must be deadly and seriously injured, and the main business of the "Xiangrui" ship may also become a rescue. If there is more evil, not only will the entire army be annihilated, and no one will survive, there is no need to fish. It is also necessary to "make up guns" for friendly ships to accelerate their sinking...

When the navy officers and men who knew the technology and were superstitious saw the first round of volley of the enemy ship and hit the near miss, of course they felt bad.

Kolchak didn't feel well either, and from that near miss, he saw more.

The Parsifal fleet is climbing and maneuvering. It is inherently difficult for the warship in the maneuver to hit a target that is also in a maneuvering state, not to mention that this is different from the two-dimensional plane maneuver on the sea. The airflow is affected while maintaining the queue. In this environment, it is not only the problem of advanced sighting equipment that can make the first loss, but the empire is far ahead of the countries in the technology of counteracting the vibration and sway of the maneuver and keeping the artillery always pointing at the enemy ship.

In addition to the fire control system, the climb speed of the Parsifal fleet has also become an extremely lethal threat.

The most important thing in the battle between floating battleships is not firepower, but altitude and speed.

The party with the height has more advantages in combat. The main gun of the battleship located at the ground needs to have sufficient elevation angle and initial velocity to get the high target, and the kinetic energy loss is large during the flight of the shell. The view of the warship occupying the height is more open, thanks to the surface surface, the projectile trajectory of the high altitude can be extended farther, and the end of the trajectory will present a perpendicular angle to the horizontal plane. At this time, the accumulated potential energy and the kinetic energy of the projectile flight In addition, it is very easy to penetrate the relatively weak horizontal armor of the battleship and the compartment under the armor. The cabins that are buried deep in the bottom of the ship are generally the key areas of the warship, such as the ammunition depot and the power cabin.

Because of so many advantages, most of the battles of floating battleships will focus on fighting for high-altitude positions, but the success of seizing positions does not mean that the enemy ships can be eliminated neatly. Although the vertical drop shells are extremely powerful, the kinetic energy penetration data is the best, but the hit rate is also relatively low. This is because the projected area of ​​the warships faced by the shells falling at different angles are also different. Therefore, for the same shell, the farther the flight path is, the smaller the ratio of horizontal speed to vertical speed, the smaller the projected area, and the smaller the "danger zone".

In short, a cannonball that falls vertically can only see a slender cigar projection, and a cannonball flying at an angle below 80 degrees can see a thick and elliptical projection.

There are such pros and cons, so the number and caliber of naval guns are used to improve the hit rate. But the shooting just now clearly shows that the accuracy of the enemy fleet's fire control system is enough to overcome the accuracy of the vertical drop shell. Once let them seize the high position, then the Principality Army must be bathed in bullet rain without any return.

The main gun caliber of "Von de Tann" is 210㎜, while the main gun caliber of other light cruisers and destroyers is 155㎜~128㎜. With the 254㎜ main armor belt of the Principality's "Borodino" class battleship, it is not a problem to defend those "small water pipes". However, its horizontal armor is only 100㎜, and it is difficult to bear in the face of the continuous falling vertical bomb rain.

——Fortunately, we are also prepared on our side.

"Subordinate the commander of the 1st detachment, Colonel Felksham, to continue to raise the height without ignoring the harassment of the enemy ships. The commander of the 2nd detachment, Colonel Nebogatov, was ordered to rise to 3,500 meters and leveled to turn left two A compass point, parallel to the first team. Ordered the commander of the third team, Colonel Enkoviste, to rise to 3,500 meters, then leveled and turned right to two compass points, also keeping pace with the two teams Route."

After issuing a series of instructions, Major General Kolchak raised his binoculars, staring at the Parsifal fleet, which continued to climb, and said coldly:

"Let's see what trick the sharp eared boy can play."

########

"The height of the enemy ship continues to rise!"

"The first detachment of the enemy battleship finds multiple Mana reactions! The intensity varies from the triangle to the quadrilateral level!"

"The second and third units of the enemy began to level, and the height was 3,500!"

"The enemy flagship "Ekaterina" keeps the rear queue with the mobile unit!"

All sorts of intelligence poured into the command ship bridge, holding warm black tea, and watching the terminal interface showing a triangular column of enemy ship arrays, Parsifal couldn't help but sigh.

"I really have one hand, it is worthy of being the tactician of the First Fleet of the Principality, and it gave us a problem as soon as I came up."

Concentrating troops is the basis of the strategy of using troops, but Kolchak’s performance does not seem to conform to this concept, but in fact this is precisely his cunning.

The clenched fist was suddenly loosened and transformed into three independent forces-anyone who reads it will think it is an excellent opportunity to perform various breaking tactics. In fact, the three fleets can fully support each other, no matter from which angle they will face, they will face the crossfire of two or three teams. In front of such a three-dimensional cross fire net, it is superfluous to calculate the angle of impact. Even for battleships, it is only the sinking part of this kind of fire collection shooting.

Some people will say that you can grab a T-headed position to take advantage of firepower. Don't forget, this is a three-dimensional air combat. Even if you have secured your position, you still have to withstand the three-dimensional shot of at least three enemy ships. If the enemy is ruthless enough, at the cost of sacrificing the pilot ship, entrap your fleet with three warships, and the subsequent teams adjust the queue to expand and surround, and you cannot escape. As we all know, the most important thing in the Principality is human life. Naval soldiers may be a little more expensive than the army’s gray cattle, but if the Principality commander feels necessary, they will also not be stingy about warships and sailors.

Faced with this style of Principality style, Parcifal was left with few options.

"We can continue to raise the height."

"Useless, the enemy ships are equipped with a large number of magicians in the ship, I am afraid there are shipbuilding technicians. As long as there is insufficient pressure or leaks, let these people go to solve them. In this way, their ceiling is at least doubled from the standard value. A bit. Maybe we can continue to rise to a height where even technicians and magicians are powerless, but in this way we can not complete the established tactical goals."

The ceiling of the "Von de Tann" is 12,000 meters. Although the iron turtles of the Principality can't reach this height, it is also difficult to accurately bombard from such a high position. Strong airflow at high altitude will seriously affect the accuracy of the hit, even if radar and optical equipment are used to assist the aiming ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It will take a long time to find the accurate head.

More importantly, if the height is increased, the goal of containment and seduction of the enemy fleet cannot be achieved. The original opponent's mentality and strategy of using troops are as long as the enemy is driven away from the Yarriza air defense circle. Since the opponent climbs to a height that he can't reach desperately, then naturally he will not continue to pursue it further. .

"Well, since the gentlemen of the Principality made up their minds to fight a fleet battle, we have to accompany them to the end. The whole fleet is accelerated to a height of 4,000 meters and the slash formation is behind!"

Parsifal knew exactly what his opponent was, and he knew that ordinary small means or even heavy losses might not be able to air-condition the man and his fleet from Yam Riza. In addition, even if the Yalizha resident squadron was transferred away, the Yalizha stronghold with Admiral Marklov was not a target that could be easily penetrated and destroyed.

His ultimate goal is not to defeat Kolchak, nor to destroy this powerful fleet. From the beginning to the end, the materials hoarded in the Yaliza base and those port facilities and railway dispatching systems were his goals.

In order to accomplish his tactical goals, he must also do enough tricks to give the fleet in front of him a big blow so that the situation can continue to develop in accordance with the script.

"After completing the formation transformation, the whole fleet set fire to shoot the flagship of the first battleship of the enemy battleship! After that, the whole fleet turned 60 degrees on the spot and attacked the second battleship of the enemy battleship!"

After giving the order, he seemed to remember something, Parsifal added:

"Notify the ships to pay attention, and try to make the target lose its ability to act! Don't be too excited, it will sink others!"

He was amused by the commander's playful tone, and there was a "Strictly obedient!" response that suppressed with a smile.
