A MiG-3 fighter kept changing its flight trajectory in the sky, and it was quite embarrassed that it was chased by an F-190 fighter.

The pilot in the cockpit of the plane pulled his plane in frustration, trying to use his skills to get rid of the opponent's pursuit.

He had done this before, and as soon as he started circling and maneuvering, the German pilots didn't shoot too high.

He wanted to do the same now, and after two rolls, he leveled the plane and began to circle in the plane direction.

It's a pity that the German pilot who chased him this time seemed to be very patient, and he was not in a hurry to fire at all, but just drove the fighter to follow him, so that he could not find a good position to adjust his altitude.

"This is an experienced German fighter pilot, unlike those pilots from yesterday and the day before yesterday!" While piloting his own plane, the Soviet pilot muttered quietly.

His words struck a chord with many Soviet pilots who were fleeing in disarray. The German fighter pilots they had seen before were not of such a level.

If today they saw college students or even master's students, the level of the German fighter pilots who were entangled with them yesterday may not even be a schoolboy!

Where did those pilots go? And where did these German pilots come out of nowhere? The Soviet pilots felt very innocent in their minds.

According to the tactical level of the German army yesterday, they still have the confidence to fight with MiGs and Lagers and other aircraft that are slightly inferior in performance.

But now the German pilots have obviously changed a batch, and their combat qualities are so strong that they are desperate - this is not good to ensure air supremacy, after all, these enemies are too terrible.

You know, in fact, in terms of performance, whether it is a lager or a MiG, even if it is a Yak-1 fighter, the actual performance is not more advanced than that of a German fighter.

They just took advantage of one thing, that is, the previous Soviet fighter I-16 and other models were too backward, and the improvement in performance caught the Luftwaffe a little off guard.

This kind of surprise was aimed at the novice pilots of the front line trained by Germany, and as for the veteran ace pilots, they were capable of dealing with these Soviet fighters who were not very powerful.

After all, most of the pilots of the main German Air Force were trained in the air battle of Britain, and these people had fought the more difficult Hurricanes and Spitfires, and naturally they could also deal with the Soviet lager and MiG fighters.

The previous tactics of the Soviet Air Force using its own superior horses against the inferior horses of the German army had completely failed.

Because once the Luftwaffe got serious, there were so many ace pilots that could be mobilized - so many that they could be counted in thousands.

And at this moment, the Soviet Air Force, which can be called an elite pilot, is estimated to be unable to make up the number of 1,000.

In addition, the standard for ace pilots on the German side is to actually shoot down more than five enemy planes and have experienced pilots with skillful air combat skills.

The requirements for elite pilots on the side of the Soviet Air Force are: pilots who have not been shot down after two sorties...... The gap between the two sides can already be described as vastly different.

Similarly, the rookie pilot on the Soviet side refers to a real rookie who can fly a trainer or fighter plane into the air or land.

Some of the so-called flight apprentices, or rookie pilots, on the German side were already qualified fighter pilots who had shot down enemy planes.

If you count such reserves, the total number of German pilots is more than 20,000, and at least 20,000 are still being trained!

The gap was even greater on the Soviet side—it was possible that they had exhausted all of their pilots they were training and could not offset a third of Germany's pilot base.

What's more, some of these German pilots have now flown more advanced TA-152 fighters, which are more powerful than the German army's own aircraft in high altitude and high speed.

The TA-152 has strengthened its high-altitude combat capabilities and is equipped with more powerful firepower. Although the dogfight performance was reduced, this aircraft was more suitable for the German pilots' dynamic potential tactics.

Most novice German pilots were adept at the tactic of diving and then disengaging, and this tactic was simply tailor-made for the TA-152 fighter.

The TA-152 fighter, which was adapted from the F-190 family of fighters, has a very powerful engine that can maneuver at an altitude of 10,000 meters and maintain an elegant flight state.

Then, this fighter with elongated wings can dive at very high speeds, and the record may reach more than 770 kilometers.

In this state, the TA-152 can bite most enemy aircraft, and use the dive to launch rapid attacks at high speed.

This tactic is efficient and relatively safe, and it can be used to slaughter enemy aircraft by repeatedly looking for opportunities at high dive speeds.

The maneuver of a fighter can be divided into vertical maneuvering and horizontal maneuvering, and generally speaking, the aircraft with inferior speed has better horizontal maneuverability.

But this is not absolute, since the speed is enough to compensate for the ability to maneuver horizontally, and a fighter, having absolute superiority in vertical maneuvering, may have more opportunities to attack.

When the speed is surpassed too much, the advantage of vertical maneuverability is highlighted, and when the ME-109 and F-190 fighters sweep the skies of Western Europe, they rely on the speed of the two fighters the most.

This was not absolute in the era of World War II, because dogfights were ever-changing, and anyone had the opportunity to show their skills.

However, a few years after the end of World War II, the emergence of jet fighters made the advantages of vertical maneuverability begin to come to the fore, which laid the tone for the elimination of piston fighters by jet fighters.

In addition, it has continued to the second generation of fighters, speed is the unanimous pursuit of everyone, faster and higher, has become the important performance standard of fighters.

Li Le knew the future, so the Luftwaffe took a shortcut in the choice of performance: the Luftwaffe directly abandoned the horizontal maneuverability and made great strides in the vertical maneuverability performance.

Including the TA-152 fighter jet that is now equipped, including the Raven jet fighter that has begun to be slowly installed, it is an air killer with explosive vertical maneuverability.

When a group of German ace pilots with superb air combat skills were equipped with fighters whose performance was ahead of the enemy, the combat effectiveness of the Luftwaffe was truly manifested.

Just above the sky, a TA-152 fighter hovering above the clouds suddenly accelerated and dived down, rushing into the battlefield.
