Chapter 487: New Fighters

"Zero?"

The pilots who heard the name for the first time couldn't help but mumble a few times in their mouths, remembering the name of the aircraft for the first time, knowing that this Japanese aircraft would be their strongest opponent in the future.

Du Changfeng, who was sitting in the first row, clenched his fists even more, his eyes staring at the three-dimensional anatomy of the Zero fighter drawn on the blackboard, as if he wanted to imprint its shape firmly in his mind.

Su Jin continued: "Let's talk about the performance and characteristics of the Zero fighter. The Zero is equipped with a Rong 12 (950 hp) engine, and you may have to ask, the engine power of the Zero is not very large, even compared to the Pratt & Whitney R-1830-36 twin wasp engine (1200 hp) on our Wildcat fighter and the DaimlerBenz DB605D engine (1850 hp) on the Messerschmidt fighter, why does it have such excellent speed, fear of victory rate and excellent turning radius? Let me tell you, this is because the total volume of the Zero fighter is only 1680 kg, and even when fully armed, it is only 2674 kg. ”

"What...... How can this be? ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. You must know that the German-made Bf-109 fighter equipped by the flight group has an empty weight of 2,630 kg alone, and the empty weight of the Wildcat fighter is also 2,612 kg, and the weight after loading ammunition has reached 4,405 kg and 3,604 kg respectively, which means that the Zero fighter is only as heavy as the empty plane of these two fighters even if it is fully armed and loaded with ammunition.

After the shock, Su Jin continued: "Next, let's talk about their firepower, the Zero fighter is equipped with a 20mm cannon and two 7.7mm machine guns, as well as sixty kilograms of bombs and auxiliary fuel tanks.

I would like to remind you that if you encounter the Zero on the battlefield in a Wildcat or Messerschmidt, do not fight them at low altitudes, because the Zero has an excellent climb rate and turning radius and can easily surpass you, and it is tantamount to suicide to use these two planes and the Zero to fight at low altitude. ”

Su Jin said as he spoke, and at this time, the pilots below were all looking at Su Jin intently, and some pilots were still taking notes on their notes.

"And don't be too happy too soon when you bite the tail of a Zero, because in the next second the Zero in front of you will jump and reverse behind you, knocking you to the ground. In addition, Zero pilots are particularly fond of spiral climbs to lure some rookies into chasing their tails, and then wait until you run out of lift and fall to take the opportunity to pounce down from high altitude and tear you to pieces. ”

Hearing this, Du Changfeng's expression began to become a little excited again, because just two days ago, he was shot down by the Japanese in this way.

Su Jin spoke freely for more than half an hour, and finally said to the pilots with a smile: "I just finished talking about the advantages of the zero type, so let me talk about the disadvantages of the zero type." First of all, although the low-altitude performance of the Zero fighter is very good, because its designers put too much emphasis on reducing the weight of the aircraft, they desperately drilled holes in the fuselage of the Zero fighter, and even many parts of the wood were used as materials, which also led to the very fragile structure of the Zero fuselage.

And if you are bitten by the Zero in battle, you should immediately dive and roll at a high speed, you can usually get rid of it, but remember not to use climbing means to get rid of it, and do not chase the Zero with a sharp climb, otherwise you will end up dead. ”

Su Jin spoke for more than two hours in a row, and the pilots below also listened attentively for more than two hours, but the more many people listened, the more they felt a hairy feeling surging into their hearts. It's not because Su Jin said it wrong, but because Su Jin said it in too much detail, so detailed that it is estimated that even the designer of the Zero fighter is inferior, how did he know this?

In fact, how could the pilots know that these advantages and weaknesses of the Zero Type can be found out in the future as long as they just find a computer in Baidu, this is the lesson summed up by the US military pilots at the cost of countless blood and lives, as an excellent military critic in later generations, how could Su Jin not be clear.

Just when everyone was still immersed in Su Jin's words, Su Jin said again: "Okay, just now I have told you the advantages and disadvantages of the Zero and how to deal with the Zero, but one thing we have to admit is that the Wildcat fighter we are equipped with is far behind the Japanese Zero in terms of performance, even Messerschmidt is quite inferior." Not only do we have to keep up with the times, but so do the planes we fly, so I've brought you a new fighter that you can take a look at now now that they've arrived at the airport. ”

"Whoa!"

As Su Jin's voice fell, the pilots in the hall were all excited, as a pilot, there is no one who doesn't like airplanes, many people even regard airplanes as more important than their wives, and when they hear that a new plane is arriving, how can they not be excited.

As the door opened, the flight students sitting in the back were the first to rush out of the conference room and run to the runway at flying speed, and the fastest flight students soon saw that many tractors were dragging a blue-gray fighter plane towards the runway.

Just as the pilot students were about to speed up and witness the new fighter plane, a sharp-eyed student suddenly pointed to the plane not far away and shouted: "Huh...... No, aren't those fighters still wildcats, I haven't seen new fighters. ”

At this time, Du Changfeng and other pilots who hurried from behind were also a little dumbfounded when they looked at the new fighter that was towed by the tractor.

"Sir, are you mistaken, there is no new type of fighter, this is clearly a wild cat!" Chu Yuan was also very surprised and looked at Su Jin on the side and asked.

Su Jin laughed: "Captain Chu, if you look carefully, whether it is a wild cat or not." ”

"It's clearly ...... Hey...... No, it's not a wildcat. ”

At this time, those planes were finally dragged to a stop in front of everyone, and everyone saw clearly that this was indeed a new type of fighter, but it was an enlarged version of the Wildcat fighter, and many people were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Throne, this ...... Is this what you call a new fighter? ”

"Of course, this is the new fighter I specially selected for you, and it also has a resounding nickname, called Vixen!" Su Jin split his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. (To be continued.) )
