Chapter 1205: Epoch-making tactic one

Chapter 1205 Epoch-making tactics 1

For German warships with better underwater defenses, a small number of torpedo hits are not fatal. (But it is also much more damage than a shell hit. Even if the British changed to a new hard-capped armor-piercing shell, it would be difficult to cause fatal damage to the German warship structure with a large dip + uncapped layer.) However, for the United Kingdom As far as people are concerned, their underwater defense layout is too poor, just an empty warehouse and a tank. And it lacks a deep and fine compartment system. Being bold and sinking is not just for fun!

Moreover, if the battleship wants to change the artillery defense, the cost and time required are still relatively low. Generally speaking, increasing the thickness of the dome is enough, but if you want to improve the level of underwater protection, then the cost and price can be higher. After all, the width of the lower part of the hull is so large, and the depth of the underwater TDS is only after the ship is built. It's set, if you don't need to increase the strength of underwater defense, you can arrange underwater lightning protection protrusions! But how to say this thing, it affects the shape of the ship too much, and the modification is too time-consuming, even if the hull is fixed, the speed of the ship will definitely decrease. And for the head and tail, how you can improve the effect is limited. The so-called increase of lightning protection protrusions is generally for the middle of the hull!

Of course, if you have to improve the level of lightning protection at the beginning and end, theoretically there is a way. For example, in order to prevent water from entering, you can fill the empty warehouse with foam cement. If it is more advanced, you can fill it with foam rubber (2 war technology.) But no matter what However, these are only good in theory. In fact, it depends on the situation. After all, there is a structural strength problem in the lightning protection protrusion. For example, the historical Italian battleship Cavour, which is equipped with an underwater defense system, faces the sword. The fish's aerial torpedo effect is not as good as expected.

Although the current 400KG aviation torpedo warhead is very small, only about 90KG, with the advent of the second generation of aviation torpedoes, and the torpedo planes are replaced with new engines, the new generation of 580KG aviation torpedoes can be charged. Reach 120KG to 140KG! At this level, it is quite deadly for the British battleship! You know, the mine that killed the Bold in history was only equipped with 150kg cotton gunpowder!

In the face of naval gun attacks, it is difficult for the modified British fleet to be killed in seconds. Even when the situation is unfavorable, under the premise that there are auxiliary warships to cover, the British at most are the warships with two shells, which penetrate the hull. A hole, set a fire, and then there may be some water ingress. But torpedoes are different. For British battleships with fragile underwater protection, a torpedo with a better hit position can be fatal! Especially when fighting against the German fleet, the warship itself was already injured, and when it was in a bad state, the torpedo hits at this time were almost equivalent to the volley of hill hammers and griffons after the emptiness of blood in WAR3!

For such an efficient attack method, the prince naturally cannot waste it. Scheer’s approach of using aerial lightning strikes as a harassment method is definitely not acceptable. In the eyes of the prince, the best situation of engagement between the two sides in the future is before the main fleet contacts. The German naval aviation first consumed the British aviation power. Then after the fleet contacted, when the battle was going on for a period of time, and there was some loosening on the entire British battle line, the aviation force launched aerial attacks on these loose nodes or key units! The battleship squadron needs to pay some price, that’s for sure, but as long as the reward is worthy of paying, it’s fine!

"If the British warship improvement is as successful as the information says, it will be difficult for us to cause too much damage to each other in a short period of time after the two sides fight." Scheer said.

Unless the two battleships are very close, they can project a large amount of firepower to paralyze the opponent in a short time, or the attack firepower is far stronger than the defense, and a large amount of damage can be caused instantaneously by means of point ammunition depot, otherwise, the battleship can be far away. In this case, the duration of the artillery battle will be longer. The longer distance limits the hit. The battleship is not afraid of washing the deck because of its large size.

"The problem is not big. For aviation lightning strikes, the biggest interference is nothing more than two points. The first is the British aircraft, and the other is the possible anti-aircraft artillery. Even if we cannot effectively destroy the warship, we use the naval gun to effectively destroy it. The air defense firepower of the opponent's ship is enough!" The prince said.

"Okay, everyone organizes your opinions into materials and submits them. I need to summarize them and save the details. Then put forward a few feasible plans. Then verify them through wargames and exercises." Finally, the prince decided to suspend this kind of non-compliance. For the rest of the argument, he needs Scheer and others to provide information, but because of vision problems, these can only be used as reference. The real improvement of this plan depends on the prince himself!

In the future, if the two sides start to fight, it will be impossible for all the warships to retreat! At this time, it is absolutely not to be heartache of the battleship, and even some losses can not be sustained, so how can we talk about rising? Sometimes the courage to bear sacrifices is also a necessary condition for the rise of a great country. After all, what you need to face is an empire that is already on the top of the world, without the courage of a war, and dreaming of using a very low price or so-called tactics Can you abdicate? It is impossible!

The prince is ready to use the former dreadnoughts, dreadnoughts, even Helgeland-class battleships and battlecruiser squadrons to incur certain losses during the battle~lightnovelpub.net~ He used these losses in exchange for the other party’s exposure to himself Their weaknesses are exchanged for the consumption of their anti-air force, in exchange for a fixed formation of the opponent, and there is no opportunity to adjust the formation. Then at the most critical moment, use a torpedo machine to strike a certain node! At the same time, the bombers interfered with the opponent's formation and hindered the opponent's attack! And eventually led to the collapse of the battle line! And adhering to this principle, the prince put forward the following requirements for the future high seas fleet combat system!

First of all, before the contact between the two fleets, the German High Seas Fleet should give play to its advantages in naval aviation, discover the location of the British fleet through frequent attacks and reconnaissance, and attract the British fleet to release its aircraft and its own fighters.

With the aircraft carrier, the aviation power of the German High Seas Fleet directly surpassed the British, and far exceeded it! In this case, the aviation war of attrition became a tempting alternative. In order to ensure that attack aircraft carrying bombs and torpedoes could successfully throw these devastating weapons on British warships, battleships were used. The seaplane on board and the fighter on the aircraft carrier in exchange for the British plane is a very good deal!
