The Fa-466 is equipped with more powerful engines than the Fa-423, which are two liquid-cooled DB605 engines with a maximum power of 1,800 horsepower, with a payload of nearly 3 tons, which can carry 24 heavily armed soldiers or 12 people + 2 stretchers + 2 nurses, and the overall performance is slightly better than the Fa-423, but the total range is slightly shorter, only less than 800 kilometers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just now the rocketeers appeared all airborne, but for the airborne cavalry assault battalion formed on the basis of the Brandenburg troops and elite paratroopers, the airborne landing has been too slow and troublesome for them, they are best at rope landing, helicopters are released in a hovering way at low altitude, and the air cavalry can land with one hand, and can also use the FG44 assault rifle (based on the paratrooper version of STG43) to suppress the ground in a frenzy, and others such as recoilless guns, gun grenades, and iron fist bazookas are standard.

In addition to the big guys with twin rotors, the single-rotor King Kong also made a secret appearance in another venue.

As early as 4 years ago, the ultralight carrier-based helicopter Fi-282 was unveiled, and even successfully carried out take-off and landing tests in the 4X4 meter landing area on the cruiser, nicknamed the Hummingbird, which can not only be used as an anti-submarine aircraft to observe submarines around the fleet, but also as a transport helicopter to provide small batches of vertical supplies for the ship (such as medicines), and even complete artillery school firing missions.

But the Navy's conservative requirement to land on the deck of a cruiser-class ship has kept the thing ungrowing.

After Hoffman took the initiative to intervene, the Fi-282 model was upgraded to the Fi-482, and the engine quickly rose from the 160 hp BMW Sh14A to the 1800 hp DB605 engine, and the empty weight of the whole machine exceeded 3 tons, and the volume was much larger than the hummingbird, and the Ministry of Armaments gave it the nickname of the albatross.

Looking at the model seems to be a derivative of the 282, it is actually completely different from the 282, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a tear down and a new one.

Of course, the albatross is not majestic enough, the name of the majestic Hoffman has long been arranged, what Black Hawk, Cobra, etc. know the fierce names when you listen to it, of course, the American style such as Apache and Comanche is exempt, or continue to leave it to the US military.

Unlike the twin rotors Fa-423 and Fa-466, the Fi-482 uses a single rotor and is equipped with tail pulp, and the overall shape is completely modern. At first, the designers didn't understand why the Führer wanted the helicopter to install this thing on the buttocks, and pestered to ask about the specific design principles and aerodynamic concepts, where did Hoffman say it, let alone say that it was his own creativity, but only deduced that it was secret information obtained from the United States, and the US R5\R6 helicopter basically looked like this.

The designers were suspicious of the tail slurry test, and the flight state was really stable and flexible, although it could not take off and land on a cruiser, it was not a big problem to take off and land on an aircraft carrier, including an escort aircraft carrier.

Compared with the noncommittal attitude of the navy, the top brass of the army, including Guderian, cheered, because the Fi-482 not only has heavy bulletproof armor in the vital parts, but also has a very considerable firepower, with a 30mm MK213 rifled gun on the left and right sides, and when it fires tungsten core armor-piercing shells, not to mention the Tiger type, even the Tiger 3 cannot parry. If you install a 20mm MG213, you can also carry 6 additional rockets, of course, you can also install 4 20mm MG151, so the amount of ammunition will be very large, and the density of fire will be greater - it may be laborious to hit tanks, but it will be very sour to hit soft targets such as armored vehicles and infantry, and it will be a whirlwind flying in the air.

The development idea of the Ministry of Armaments is now understood even by the Americans: the main business is to target the ground, and the air is only a sideline, and all German anti-aircraft guns that cannot be used on the ground are all rubbish......

So a bunch of armored generals clamored for the establishment of an army aviation -- why can't there be a land aviation if there is a naval airline? He even proposed to revise the specifications of the 1944 Panzer Division, ensuring that each Panzer Division would be equipped with one helicopter air anti-tank battalion in the future. In order to achieve a balanced budget and control the size of the establishment, Guderian believed that it was okay to equip tanks and self-propelled guns with less, and when such helicopter gunships were really mature, they could be officially listed.

He was deeply touched at the acceptance site: "The Führer says every day that the situation in Europe in the future will be the leading part of the rapid reaction force, and I used to think that the armored division with high-performance general-purpose tanks, all-tracked infantry fighting vehicles, and all-self-propelled artillery is the rapid reaction force, but now it seems that we have to change our concept." ”

At that time, Hoffman shook his head: "Your understanding is not comprehensive enough, and you will have new feelings after reading it in two days." ”

"In two days?" Guderian was interested, "What's the new equipment?" ”

"Aren't you very fond of the Il-2 of the Russians? And then you feel that the Hs-129 (not in production) and Ju-87G are not ideal? ”

"That's right! So now the 1944 units are equipped with Fw-190F, I think it's pretty good, of course I will never refuse the good things arranged by the Führer, I'm open to everything new, I'm not old! ”

"You won't refuse, but this thing must be in the hands of the Air Force." Jeshunek interjected first.

After two days at the test site, Guderian knew what it was: the Raider Eagle, a fixed-wing attack aircraft with heavy armor, a 30mm MK213 rifled cannon, and ground-to-ground rockets, was actually a jet! Which equipment is finally the turn of the army to have a headache.

So Guderian decided to take advantage of the South African campaign to test it, hoping that the American armored forces could fight some this time, after all, the opponent is too weak and boring, and it is very refreshing to fight, but how can he ask for equipment and funds in the future? If you don't have enough equipment and money, where will you get a hat and a seat? He Guderian has become a field marshal, but there are still a large number of people waiting to climb up, and people like Frank Baker are a minority after all (a major general of the armored corps with a doctor of dentistry, known as an armored dentist, and a very strong command style), except for being an officer, the vast majority of people do not have a second livelihood skill.

In the future, it will certainly be impossible for Germany to maintain such a large number of troops, so it can only keep the best officers, the most adapted to the new mode of warfare, and the most promising to cultivate, all of whom are smart people, except for a few who are really tired and do not want to mix in the army anymore, and many of them are squeezing their heads to find a way to stay -- to go to the American Republic, okay; Go to the African Republic, you can; Even if you go to the Asian republics! As long as it's a German signboard, it's okay!

Like Paulus, who had served as deputy chief of the general staff, and was a confidant and celebrity of the Führer, he was flattered everywhere he went, and after sitting on the cold bench on the Western Front for several years, he thought that he had fallen out of favor and began to be a little lukewarm towards him, and now he heard that he was about to go to the German American branch as the regional "president", and immediately his attitude turned 180 degrees, and he was very enthusiastic, in Paulus's words, it was really "warm and cold".

In his opinion, like Kruger, Beck, and Halder, who was not prominent and majestic at the beginning, who still remembers them now? When it comes to them, they are a "traitorous group", but I am afraid that the weeds in the cemetery will grow tall, right?

At the same time as the rocketeers were debugging the parameters, the introducer's voice sounded again: "Although the helicopter is an epoch-making weapon, it is easy to be shot down by the opponent's ordinary fighter jets because of its low speed, and in order to protect them, we also need another epoch-making weapon." Please keep an eye out for the Ta-183 jet fighter, the king of the skies in the sky, who is about to make its debut! This model, nicknamed the Raven, is the second generation of jet fighters of our army, and the first aircraft in human history to break through the speed of 1000 km / h, and can even approach the speed of sound when diving at super high speeds. Even with an external fuel tank or a 500-kilogram aerial bomb, it can reach a high speed of more than 800 kilometers. 4 20mm cannons can easily tear through any large bomber, let alone an enemy fighter......"

In fact, the Raven has great potential, can be equipped with 4 30mm MK108, but the rate of fire and ammunition offset is really tragic, the experts of the Ministry of Armaments after consideration or recommended to install 4 MG213 or 2 MK213, now the 30mm MK103 \ MK108 aircraft gun series has basically entered the elimination stage, if you recall the original Bf-109 was only equipped with machine guns, everyone will feel upside down. Only the Americans who are not enlightened still hold on to 6 heirlooms, and now there are no Sispano cannons that can be "exported and imported", and the new planes of the US imperialists can only use 12.7mm machine guns, and finally remember to change the 6 guns to 8.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw eight planes passing by at high speed in the sky, unlike the two-engine and relatively large Me-262, these are all stubby single-engine jets, and the speed does seem to be faster than the Me-262.

Ito lowered his voice and asked, "This is probably a manned V3, right?" Flying really fast...... I wonder if I can take off from an aircraft carrier? ”

Looking at this appearance, it really looks a bit like a silkworm cruise missile on the ground, and Dazuo behind him can only nod hesitantly, he has deep doubts about the aircraft carrier taking off, maybe it's not a big problem to fly, how about landing? At such a fast speed, it was difficult to stop on the deck.

Because the Ta-183 has been officially installed and entered the mass production stage, and the third-generation jet project in the hands of the Ministry of Armaments has also entered a new demonstration stage, the second-generation product can be generously displayed to others.

Of course, the aircraft can be shown that some things are still secret, such as the latest finished product carried under the wings of the Do-412 and Ta-152 and provided by the Penemünde missile base: the X-4 \ X-6 air-to-air missile, according to Hoffman's instructions, in the next 10 years, mature air-to-air missiles and excellent optoelectronic and radar systems will become the basic equipment of the third generation (supersonic speed) jets.
