Chapter 1098: Look at its limit
"Fire, fire!" A young officer, shouted loudly, suddenly became the focus of attention, the officers at the bottom and ordinary sailors, more in the excitement, only the high-level officers and elite gunners, only from the doorway, and the observers, who have long been engrossed in this battle, are also carefully recording the time, direction and landing point of the shells, because there are more than ten times more ships than yesterday, the number of artillery has also increased by nine times, and the number of observation and calculation personnel has also increased. Record the time and direction, as for the simulated fleet, they report it themselves, and then on their data, increase the offset, and then compare the data here, which is the final result, one more process, but it will be faster and more accurate, and the observer only needs to stare at one place.
"It's early!" Hawari commented that the distance between the two sides, according to his eyesight, is at least more than 10 nautical miles, such a distance, even a 15-inch powerful naval gun, can only blow up a fish, and it is almost impossible to hit a ship close to 20 kilometers away.
"It's not neat!" The captain of another battleship, Koen, also nodded and said, from the first main gun fire to the last main gun, he did not calculate carefully, but there was a gap of almost half a minute, for anyone, half a minute is not a very long time, for a battleship, if a salvo is completed in half a minute, then it is absolutely unqualified.
Scheer was also very strange that next to him, there was a summary recorder. Observer, one staring at a ship's gun. The data is reported separately and then the data is aggregated here. The accurate data is that there was a gap of 34 seconds between the launch of the first gun and the launch of the last gun, which is also too bad, is it just the beginning, not very familiar, and there is a difference in transmission.
On the V2 ship, Cheng Biguang was quite satisfied. 34 seconds is right, he asked for about 30 seconds before, but large naval guns need to be commanded by radio, and the deviation time is four or five seconds, which is no problem at all, with the help of radio command, 30 seconds. It will combine the power of various naval guns that are separated by a long distance, and divide them into three batches.
12 nautical miles, that is, 21 kilometers, with an initial velocity of more than 800 meters. Coming out of the breech, there was a slowdown along the way, and it took 21 kilometers to cover. It takes a minimum of 40 seconds or so, and the distance between the battlefleets is a little farther away. The farthest is about 5 kilometers away, and the orientation and charge are different. Through the computer's calculation, I barely reached three batches, in units of 5 seconds, and I beat them relatively in the middle.
The shells of nearly 30 main guns hit the sea and made a huge splash, which was very amazing, but then again, and again after a few seconds.
Hawari's eyes widened, and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, is this a coincidence, obviously uneven launches, but when the attack hits the position, there is some concentration and neatness, even if it is a salvo of battleships, different directions and angles, there will be a delay of a few seconds, or even more than ten seconds, that is like this time, the difference sent out is still more than 30 seconds, and when it hits, it is fixed to less than 15 seconds, is this a coincidence?
Unlike Hawari, Scheer has some belief, he was still saying just now, why did he perform so amazingly yesterday, but today is not very good, it turned out to be here, through the command system, coordinate each cannon, accurately calculate the differences between each other, make up for the differences between the two sides as much as possible, let the artillery be concentrated in one area, and create the same divided into 3 batches, Scheer knows why, the density of 30 guns is enough, even for a large fleet, in the salvo of battleships, Not to mention 30 rounds, even if it is 50 rounds, 100 rounds, hitting one or two rounds, it is a thing to be proud of, 30 a batch, to ensure the power, but also to ensure the density.
There are too many of them, plus there is also its own data transmitted by radio, it is impossible to give results quickly, hesitation offset, the capital ship side is basically empty, except for the landing point of the shells, there is nothing else to look at.
Almost 1 minute later, there was another round of volleys, this moment, including Havari, there was no direct evaluation, this is a place where everyone gathers, and he was slapped in the face just now, in case the Northwest shows a different power, isn't it another round of slapping in the face, it seems that this system in the Northwest is okay.
In fact, as soon as the second and third rounds came out, no one doubted the integration ability of this aiming system, the time of the artillery launch was different, it was obviously set, in order to reduce the loss in the middle, when it was not fired, it was a salvo, and when it hit, it was not a salvo, and the power in the middle was definitely different.
It is difficult for all Germans to understand how the Northwest did this, but round after round of intensive shooting, even the least optimistic about the Northwest sight also shut up, one round is so good luck, two rounds can also be cheekily said, three rounds and four rounds?
Scheer didn't speak, but his heart was very excited, not to mention whether the aiming system is really conducive to improving the power of artillery, just for such an integration ability, although compared to the salvo of a single ship, this salvo is a little slower, about 1 minute and 15 seconds, but this is a fleet, 9 ships blended together salvo, the difficulty in the middle, is not ordinarily large, although the battleship forms a battle line, but can really maintain a salvo, I'm afraid it is only the first time to fire, the rest, It's all free fire, and it's impossible for the commander to grasp the situation of each gun, one or two are not ready, and what about the rest, wait and wait.
New technology is new technology, for the improvement of the aiming rate of a single warship, for the integration of the entire fleet, what other sighting system is stronger than him? With this, just by virtue of 9 capital ships, Schell dared to face the above figures in the exercise, 22 ships, which is equal to one capital ship can play the role of two, in that case, the gap between the German and British navies can be directly erased, and the navy may be the same as the army, pressing Britain and France to fight.
In Scheer's heart, he longed to be in the midst of the roar, when a young officer next to him suddenly came over with a document: "Report! The first round of simulated fleet location coordinates is out! ”
"It's out, that's great, what about the landing point of the artillery?" Scheer asked.
The young staff officer next to him said, "It's also out!" ”
Both reports were passed to Scheer's hands, and at this time even Havari stopped speaking, staring at the two reports, there was only one number on them, representing the latitude and longitude on the chart, almost accurate to the meter, Scheer marked the coordinates one by one, the position of the ship, the position of the artillery, and the charts of both sides overlapped together, even he was surprised and speechless.
Seeing Sherdu's rare gaffe, Hawari also knew that it must be an amazing result, so far, he could see two charts, stretching his head to compare, 82 shells, except for 12 misses, the remaining 70 rounds have entered the area of the simulated fleet, such a density is too amazing, this is 12 nautical miles apart, the position of the battle line is relatively fixed, as long as it enters the core area, large-caliber naval guns, unless they are particularly unlucky, otherwise, there must be hits.
Scheer did not make a decision easily, the results were too good, sometimes unbelievable, after making people repeatedly confirm the authenticity of the data, he reported the results indiscriminately, 82 shells, 4 hits according to the standard of destroyers, and 8 hits according to the standards of battleships, because the battleships are much larger than destroyers regardless of width or length, and some near-misses can basically be judged to be hits.
All the officers were stunned, this data, even if it was placed in the previous German stipulated range of 6 km, it was enough to be amazing, a battleship moving at high speed, even if it was 6 km, it was not easy to hit, and now it was so far away, and it hit 8 shots, it was really close, then it was okay.
Hawari opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, Korn looked at him, and said as if mocking: "The hit rate is too high, is it?" ”
The officer next to him, Bai Kuoen glanced at it, luck, 12 nautical miles apart, a salvo hit 4 rounds, or a small ship like a destroyer, the simulated ship can not really be simulated, among the optical sights, the area seen, must be a section smaller, so that it can be luck, why didn't you hit it before, you know, recently in the task force, at the insistence of Scheer, the ban on 6000 meters was lifted, and the distance between the two sides that can fire artillery has been increased to 12000 meters, but the sight in the northwest has been directly upgraded to a grade, from kilometers to nautical miles, one nautical mile is equal to 1.8 kilometers, which is equivalent to an increase in range several times, as long as there is this system, in the same way as now, when visibility is high, the theoretical range of the task force can be increased to 20 kilometers.
The exercise continues, and the number stipulated today is 50 rounds, according to the 1 minute and 15 seconds of a round, it is almost more than 1 hour, but depending on the current state, I am afraid that it will end early, because after a few minutes, the results of the first five rounds have come out, and the hit rate is not a coincidence, although the first round is not the lowest, but it is not the highest, the average number of hits in each round is about 5 rounds, and if you count the battleships, it is 10.
82 shells, 10 hits, an eighth-hit rate, at a distance of 20 kilometers at this level, it is simply a demon against the sky, at this time, in Scheer's fleet, the power of the aiming system has spread, whether it is from the bottom of the navy, or the officers at the top, their mentality is the same, such a good aiming system, must get him.
When the 20th round was almost reached, Scheer also saw the results of the 5th round, he groaned a little, and gave another order: "Let all the destroyers scatter and escape!" ”
The order was given without a head or brain, but the senior officer saw it, that is, to test the limit of this system, with this system, the backwardness of the battle line is a foregone conclusion, and the next thing to see is where his limit is? (To be continued.) )
