192 It is better to introduce it than to build it yourself
As for the other options, he didn't even think about them - this is the pride of being an aircraft designer, and the confidence of his Dr. Tan Ke!
"Yes, the Navy wants the new fighter to be better in take-off and landing performance, and by a certain versatility. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Le nodded and admitted Tan Ke's guess.
"The FW-190A fighter has always performed well in versatility and can hang a 500-kilogram bomb." Tan Ke replied.
He did not emphasize the take-off and landing performance of the FW-190, because compared to the veteran ME-109E, the take-off and landing performance of the FW-190A did not need to be emphasized by him, and Tan Ke did not need to attack his opponent Messersmitt in this traditional advantageous project.
What is known now is that the Navy can already determine the construction of at least 5 aircraft carriers, aircraft equipped on aircraft carriers, at least an order for several hundred.
This is already a result that Tan Ke is very satisfied with. He grabbed the market in the field of Air Force fighters, which Messersmitt cared about the most, and now he has taken a position in the Navy, which is already a victory!
"Dr. Tanke, the new naval fighter will have a larger range, and it would be better to find a way to maintain the carrying capacity of the existing carrier-based aircraft." Li Le said his request with some distress.
"I will come up with the corresponding plane in the shortest possible time, my Führer! We at Fokker Wolf have the know-how to do this! Tan Ke said confidently.
Frankly speaking, it was not a very ideal choice to put the ME-109T fighter on the ship, but in that year, that is, 36 years after the construction of the aircraft carrier began, Germany had no other aircraft to use!
Because of the poor reason that the air force was secretly built and the aircraft models in its hands were few, the Luftwaffe found that there was only one ME-109 that could be regarded as a good aircraft in its hands.
If the aircraft carrier carrier aircraft were not modified on this aircraft, then the German aircraft carrier would have to compete with its opponents with biplane fighters.
Under this general situation, Germany modified the ME-109 fighter, which had very poor landing performance, and named it ME-109T, which became a carrier-based fighter.
What you must know is that when the ME-109 fighter is on land, it is criticized by novice rookies because of the danger of landing, and it is a bit too childish to expect this kind of aircraft to land on a rocking aircraft carrier.
Because of this, when Li Le saw the Navy aircraft carrier in service, he called Dr. Tan Ke, hoping that he could use the FW-190A fighter to bring new hope to the German Navy.
When the Luftwaffe's highly-anticipated ME-109E fighter was only slightly stronger than the British Air Force's Spitfire in the skies over London, the FW-190 was in fact a cut above the Spitfire.
The only problem is that the FW-190A is not too suitable for a naval fighter - it is too big and heavy......
The FW-190A weighs about 4 tons, which is almost the weight of two Zero fighters! It can be seen how far apart the two sides are in the choice of fighter routes.
Li Le didn't mind looking for the Japanese to seek the Zero fighter, which was definitely a good thing for 40 years, but at this time, the Zero fighter was not produced in Japan itself!
Yes, in March of the 40th year, the second prototype of the Japanese Zero crashed, and half a year later, in September, the mass production of the Zero fighter in Japan had not even begun.
Even two years later, in '42, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, how many Zero fighters were in service? More than 400 only......
In this case, how can Li Le, who was in September 40, ask the Japanese for a license for the production of the Zero fighter?
Could it be that he found a Japanese friend and said to him with a smile: "Dude, don't hide it, sell me the Zero fighter, and I'll exchange the Tiger tank blueprints?" ”
It is estimated that the Japanese diplomats at this time did not know that there was such a secret weapon as the Zero fighter, and they would only go back to repair the secrecy system and then flatly refuse this kind of cooperation.
It's not impossible to give it a try, it's just that compared to the Germans themselves to re-establish a new aircraft production line, the fastest speed of introducing the Zero fighter is also slower.
Everything was being introduced smoothly, and Germany would not be able to start producing Zero fighters until 41 years, and it would take 42 years to form combat effectiveness.
Looking at it this way, Li Le might as well reluctantly insist on using the ME-109T fighter is more realistic, although it is dangerous, but the combat effectiveness and production line are already there, isn't it?
In addition, the improved FW-190 fighter can also form combat effectiveness around 41 years, there is no need to go to the trouble of the Japanese, is it really a lot of advanced technology for the Zero fighter?
Don't be naïve enough to think that it's just a change of technology, you take a drawing for someone else's drawing. What kind of technical exchange is needed to change the drawings of the J-20, you say?
The 40-year-old Zero fighter is not an exaggeration for Japan to be the current F-22 and J-20!
Another reason why Li Le was reluctant to go to the Japanese was that although the Zero fighter was good, it was not really an aircraft suitable for the current situation in Germany.
What is the most enviable performance of the Zero fighter? It's a range of up to 2000 km! This is a vital performance for the Japanese Navy.
With such a powerful range, the Zero fighter can find the American fleet and strike at it in the vast Pacific Ocean.
But in the slightly narrow Atlantic, what do German carrier-based aircraft have to do with a range of 2,000 kilometers? Air raids on the continental United States?
You must know that the widest part of the Atlantic Ocean is only 1800 kilometers, and the combat radius of the Zero fighter is almost covered!
In other words, an aircraft carrier is parked in the middle of the Atlantic, and the Zero fighter takes off to the east to attack Ireland and west to Canada!
German aircraft carrier aircraft do not need such a range at all, and there is no need to design such a range at all!
On the contrary, German fighters needed thicker armor, more firepower, and better maneuverability.
It is precisely because of this that in Li Le's view, Germany's own FW-190 fighter is a more suitable choice for Germany than the Japanese Zero fighter!
As for improving the zero? Are you kidding? A fighter that has taken care of every detail and has gone to a dead end in design, the Japanese themselves can't change it, how can Germany change it?
Think the Zero fighter is fragile and armored? The acceleration is faster when diving, and the problem that the Zero is easy to disintegrate when diving is more prominent!
Reinforcing the support structure? Yes...... Then the engine power of the aircraft is insufficient, and the aircraft engine must be replaced with a new one.
What the? You even changed the engine of the plane? Then the fuel consumption of the new engine is even more exaggerated, can the range of the Zero fighter be guaranteed?
Boost the volume a little more, and put an extra 200 litres of fuel for the more exaggerated fuel consumption of the aircraft engine......
Is there any difference between this set and redesigning a new engine yourself? And it doesn't make a difference!
Japan later gave up improving the Zero fighter and developed the purple electric and purple electric reform, and it is for this reason that Japan gave up on improving the Zero fighter!
More interestingly, the armor was thickened, and a self-enclosed mailbox was used to replace the flammable aluminum-magnesium alloy and increase the engine power...... What do you get from all these improvements?
What you get is a slightly lighter FW-190 fighter! ――Suddenly you found yourself busy and finally back to square one, didn't you?
After all, when improving a fighter, the engine used will not be made out of thin air, and the set used is still familiar to the Germans.
A German engine that replaced the Zero's air-cooled engine, the Eight Achievements were BMW air-cooled engines mounted on the FW-190 fighter!
The power of the Rong 12 engine used in the Zero fighter is 950 horsepower, and the aircraft fuselage design should be directly used in Japan, and Germany will also develop an aircraft engine with a similar volume and a slightly stronger power......
Isn't this self-inflicted trouble? What's more, the maximum speed of the FW-190 fighter is a full 100 kilometers faster than that of the Zero.
At the same time, when diving and other high-maneuvering maneuvers, the FW-190 is not in danger of disintegrating or being damaged - it is also capable of crushing the Zero!
After such a choice and consideration, Li Le certainly doesn't look down on the artifact Zero fighter in the Pacific Ocean, if the Atlantic Ocean is replaced by the Pacific Ocean, Li Le can consider introducing the Zero to overdo it.
It's a pity that now this is the Atlantic, and Li Le and his Third Reich don't have excessive time left!
Rather than abandoning his martial arts and introducing the astray Japanese Zero fighter, Li Le prefers to take advantage of Germany's current advantages to develop a new type of carrier-based fighter that can continue to be improved in the future!
"Note that on the one hand, it is weight reduction, I will at least equip the Zeppelin aircraft carrier with more than 20 FW-190 naval types, so the weight of more than 4 tons is unacceptable." Li Le opened his mouth and said.
Tan Ke spread out his notebook and recorded Li Le's request on it: "There should be no problem in terms of weight reduction, and the structural strength of the FW-190 fighter is still surplus." ”
"The other thing is high versatility! I hope it can be used as a strike weapon when necessary, such as hanging bombs to attack enemy ships! Li Le spoke again.
"That's no problem! The FW-190 has always had an advantage in this regard, and the ability to carry 500 kg bombs should be retained! Tan Ke recorded the main points and waited for Li Le to continue to make his request.
"The range can be increased appropriately, but the trade-offs are lower, don't pursue it too much!" Finally, Li Le added another request.
