"God, the turret design of this battleship is simply amazing. We, the British Empire, never thought that the main gun can be set on the central axis of the battleship, so that we will not waste firepower. In this way, the benefits brought But it is huge. You can use one cannon as two cannons, which is amazing. This not only saves a lot of space, but also reduces weight and carries more ammunition. This method is really good and amazing Yes! Such an advanced design idea, why didn’t our British Empire come up with it, but a Chinese navy? God, have you abandoned your people?”

Members of the British observation team expressed emotion on the Japanese warship, and they were all shocked by the design of this battleship in Taiwan, because the design idea of ​​​​this battleship has already led the world, and even the battleship designers of the British Empire are fundamentally different. Unexpectedly, there is such a design method, it is simply terrible. Set up the naval gun on the central axis of the battleship, which can avoid wasting firepower on one side when the ship uses battle lines to fight. After all, battleships also use the side to shoot, rather than using the head gun. The main combat mode of battleships is also launched from both sides of the battleship, and there is almost no time to launch directly to the front. And this kind can design the main gun of the battleship on the central axis, so that the angle of the main gun can be adjusted according to the combat needs, and the enemy on the left or right can be attacked at any time.

If it was the past...∞,..the idea that the main guns were designed on both sides, then half of the main guns would not be able to give full play to their firepower advantage in battle, which is tantamount to waste. The design idea of ​​​​the Sword-class battleship directly designs the main gun on the central axis, so that the combat effectiveness of the original battleship can be fully exerted with the number of artillery that is half less than the traditional design method. With the saved weight, a few more cannons can be installed again, so that the firepower will increase violently.

What's more, Taiwan's sword-class battleship has given up the shooting thinking of secondary artillery in the past. His main targets are also aimed at enemy battleships, rather than defending against enemy cruisers. In this way, their firepower is five times that of the Japanese Xiangshan-class battleships, which is simply too cheating.

"Hit me! Hit me hard, I don't believe it, our five times the firepower will lose to them!" Chen Fa shouted.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Fifty shells were fired again by the five Sword-class battleships, but they still exploded into a lot of waves. Didn't hit the enemy. And Chen Fa was also a little disappointed, because a total of 100 shells were fired in these two rounds, but none of them hit the enemy, so there must be a problem with the hit rate. This hit rate is too low, especially the long-range hit rate is very low. Chen Fa also led a sword-class battleship to fight a British cruiser before, but at that time the distance between them was less than a kilometer, and Taiwan had the advantage of sneak attack, so they hit.

This time it was below the same level, and the distance was extended to a few kilometers away. In this way, the hit rate is seriously reduced.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The Japanese Xiangshan-class battleships also started firing, and then ten shells were fired over. But they are also relatively poor, there is no warship that can hit Taiwan. Both sides also began to prepare for the third round of shooting, and this third round of shooting Chen Fa gave great hope. Because as long as you estimate the probability, you can know that no matter how low the hit rate of Taiwan's firepower is, it should be able to be shot. If he still can't hit the enemy in the third round this time, then Chen Fa is really going to jump into the sea directly, because what kind of things are he training!

"emission!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

After the third round of shooting went out. Fifty shells fell on the Japanese fleet again. But this time, Chen Fa did not disappoint. At last a shell hit.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

A series of explosions, many shells hit the Japanese battleship.

"Captain, our Mikasa was hit by three shells!" A staff officer immediately said to the captain of the Japanese Mikasa.

However, the Japanese captain seemed calmer, and then asked, "Did you hurt our vitals?"

"No, they were all bounced back by our armor. No real damage was done to us!" said the Japanese staff officer.

However, other Japanese warships were similar. Although they were hit by shells, they did not receive substantial damage. In this era of battleship naval battles, the armor is actually very good. In this era when the hit rate is very cheating. Not only is the hit rate surprisingly low, but even if it hits, it may not be able to penetrate the enemy's armor. The armor thickness of these battleships is very thick, and many of them are made of ultra-high-strength special alloy steel. The hardness and toughness and yield resistance are not comparable to ordinary steel, so generally speaking, shells want to penetrate these Armor requires a certain amount of luck. In many naval battles, luck and strength are equally divided, and only strength is not enough, because if the overall strength is basically the same, it depends on the luck of the navies of both sides.

"Commander Chen, we hit ten shells this time, but none of them achieved very good results. We don't have armor that can penetrate the enemy."

Chen Fa nodded and said, "It's not surprising. The Japanese battleships were designed as imitations of Sovereign-class battleships. If there is no accident, the thickness of their armor is 457 millimeters at the thickest part. We It’s not surprising that the shells couldn’t penetrate their armor for a while. But after all, it’s a hit, and the hit rate is about 6.6%, which is not bad.”

When Chen Fa saw these Japanese warships, he began to think: "Although the Japanese warships have less artillery, their artillery is more powerful. Their artillery has a caliber of 343mm, and their armor is thicker than ours. About 200 millimeters. Although we have many artillery pieces, they are all 305mm artillery pieces. Although it is easier to hit them, it is not easy to penetrate their armor. Although their number of artillery pieces is relatively small , but our armor is also very thin. Once we are hit by an enemy shell, the probability of our armor being penetrated is far greater than our probability of penetrating their armor. Our current situation looks relatively favorable, but it may not be As good as imagined.”

Chen Fa's idea is actually similar to the different ideas of power flow and speed flow in later online games. This Japanese Xiangshan-class battleship is an imitation of the Sovereign-class battleship, the pinnacle of the former dreadnoughts. Its armor thickness is more than 400 millimeters thick, which is thicker than Taiwan's Sword-class battleship. It is more than 200 millimeters thicker than Taiwan's Sword-class battleship. Relatively speaking, this Xiangshan-class battleship is completely a blood bull, not only has high defense power, but also has a lot of blood, so it is not so easy to penetrate.

And this Xiangshan-class battleship seems to have a small number of artillery, but each of their artillery has a caliber of 343mm, which is much stronger than Taiwan's 305mm caliber, with penetrating power and power They are also much bigger. In this situation where the artillery power of the Lijian-class battleship on the Taiwan side is weak and the armor thickness is not thick enough, the advantage of the Lijian-class is that the firepower output at the same time is much stronger than that of the Xiangshan-class battleship. But this thing is useless, the armor is thick enough, no matter how many hits it can't penetrate the enemy's armor, it is useless.

But Japan is different. Although Japan has a small number of artillery, its caliber is large. Such a huge caliber is facing the relatively weaker Taiwan Sword-class armor. Although they may not be able to penetrate Taiwan's armor force, the probability of their penetration of Taiwan's armor is higher than that of Taiwan's armor. The probability is much higher. The battle of battleships in this era is a combat method that is very test of probability calculations, so the two sides are completely supported by probability.

Qiu Baoren can clearly see that this Sword-class battleship and the Xiangshan-class battleship imitating the Sovereign-class are actually trying a battle of power flow and speed flow. The Japanese Xiangshan-class battleship is a power flow, and the Taiwan Sword-class battleship is a speed flow. This method of combat is completely attrition. The two sides consume each other, to see who can consume the other in the end.

In fact, after the Dreadnought-class battleship in the original history came out, what he brought was more of a new idea and a new design idea. However, the Dreadnought-class battleships in history have not really participated in actual combat. The combat effectiveness of many former Dreadnoughts is still very impressive~lightnovelpub.net~ If you really want to fight hard, it is not certain who will win the battle! Therefore, the Sword-class battleship imitated from the Dreadnought-class battleship may not be an absolute opponent of the Sovereign-class battleship. In a real fight, it doesn't matter who wins the battle!

"These sword-class battleships must not be lost. This sword-class battleship is the mainstream of future battleships, and we must stay. If we lose the sword-class battleship, then we will definitely pay a lot to everyone in the future. Our sword-class battleships cannot fight them here. If we rush to fight them, our losses will not be small in the end. Instead of losing these battleships, it is better to follow the original plan. Anyway, since we are going to lose, Then we should all lose those worthless things." Chen Fa thought.

Chen Fa immediately called the chief navigator who was in charge of calculating the speed, and began to inquire about the current sailing situation. (To be continued.)
