Chapter 1228: Overwhelming Advantage
The command system has been updated 4 times since the installation of the Scheer fleet, and under the premise that there is no major change in the computer, the software has undergone tremendous changes, and the Northwest has spent a lot of effort into the software, optimizing the software, speeding up the aiming speed, and even adding some things, which seem to have nothing to do with the aiming system, but have a huge help to the accuracy of aiming.
In the process of approaching the two sides, work has already begun in a long distance, and the new set of systems, on the basis of the original functions, will focus on the determination of some habit problems, which is also made after gradually gaining an in-depth understanding of naval warfare, and the army will collect the habits of the commander in order to achieve a correct judgment of his practice, and play the role of anticipating the enemy's opportunities.
The Navy is the same, even if it is a professional background, in the long years of command, there will be some changes, such as the usual orders and habits, in the face of danger, or in battle, what kind of changes will it have, which in naval warfare, may also be able to play a more role, that is, in the computing power of the computer, without a large increase in the premise of increasing the hit rate.
As early as more than 20 nautical miles away, sounding balloons and airships have been released, in the air than on the ground, the accuracy of measuring distance and position is higher, a set of data, finally formed, from 30 nautical miles to 20 nautical miles, and then to 10 nautical miles, a full 50 minutes, the computer summed up except for part of the things, and then sent to Scheer, which not only has a full set of data of the opposing ship, but also some key points, especially mentioning the habits of each of the 9 battleships after the division of troops, as well as the commander's emphasis.
Schell also sighed that China is a magical place, not only the birth of a command system that is difficult for him to understand, but also these analyses. Before, he only analyzed vaguely based on experience, but now, as long as he finds something suitable or even useful in the data. The rest can be completely handed over to the following, and his command role is only played in the judgment of major things.
In fact, as early as 12 nautical miles, it was already within range, but the Scheer fleet did not make a move, he was waiting, waiting for the other side to get closer, and both sides were the same. However, Scheer's goal psychology is slightly further away than that of the British.
Although there is no real aiming and firing yet, the preliminary preparations have already begun, and with the help of a wired telephone, Scheer can communicate with the command platform, which is of course related to the operation, mainly to select the target.
The chain of command gives 3 options. 4 goals, 3 goals. 2 targets, each representing the number of attacking ships, Scheer naturally chose 2 targets, one target is too wasteful, 9 battleships, more than 80 guns. If it is only aimed at one target, it is even possible to send a capital ship into the sea at one time, but more than 90% of the shells will be wasted, and more than 90% of the shells will not hit. 2 targets are not as good as 3 targets, and 4 targets have a high hit rate, but they are the best choice because of the hit rate and lethality.
The distance of a few nautical miles, quite far on land, for a fleet that is more than 20 knots and a relative speed of more than 45 knots, almost a minute is a knot, from 12 knots to 8 knots, it took only 5 minutes, and when all the ships have reached the most suitable place after crossing the distance of 8 knots, that is, within 15 kilometers of the metric range, Scheer gave the order, aim, fire!
The order first reached the command platform, where the dynamic measurement had already been made, and the Chinese soldiers who operated quickly entered some data into the system and adjusted the parameters.
Unlike when he was in Southeast Asia, he was not very familiar with the whole, after thousands of miles of battle, especially in the past 3 days, continuous high-intensity operations, in terms of cooperation, he has been perfectly combined with the Scheer fleet, and the reaction speed has been greatly enhanced.
20 seconds, which is a god-like speed for aiming in this era, but he not only completed the aiming, but also arranged the data of each gun.
Of course, every battleship is a salvo, on the one hand, the salvo can increase the hit rate, on the other hand, the recoil of the 15-inch gun is very strong, if it is fired in different directions in a relatively short period of time, the recoil in this different direction will cause problems for the battleship.
Because the distance is far, so the whole adjustment is very in place, the command system began to command, with the above, 5 points of high-altitude reconnaissance, the reliability of the data has been greatly guaranteed, the computer's powerful computing speed, quickly determined the range and area of the attack, one by one accurate numbers, sent to the front of each cannon, and then, according to these data began to shoot accurately.
4 simple data, representing the altitude, charge, firing time, type of shell used, with these data, the next shot, for a well-trained gunner, is the easiest thing.
9 ships that were located in different positions, not lined up in the attack camp at all, suddenly opened their guns, startled the British fleet, they didn't expect Scheer to open their guns so early, why is this, is it that Scheer's fleet is going to give up?
In the British exercise, although 10 kilometers can be fired, but Abitt, who is familiar with naval tactics, knows that such a pure waste of artillery shells, can be hit in 10 kilometers, in addition to the elite gunners, but also a little luck, if the two sides are approaching at high speed, or even constantly changing, 10 kilometers is basically impossible to hit.
Charge at full speed, don't care about him, this is Abbit's order, even if the cannonball is still flying in the sky, don't care about him, anyway, even if it stops, the other party can't hit, let alone drive at full speed.
On the one hand, the computer has an unimaginable computing speed, and the computer was developed in the early 20th century, which can definitely be said to be alien technology, and on the other hand, through the radio command system, many warships around it can be combined into a whole, in this case, the combat effectiveness is far more than you think.
Abit just thought that the other party would test fire, or open fire indiscriminately, but the first round of artillery fire formed several straddle shots.
Is it lucky, or something else, the first wave didn't hit, but it made Abbit's scalp numb, what kind of hit rate is this, it will be so accurate, if one or two rounds form a straddle shot, and the rest are scattered in other directions, Abit will not worry at all, but in fact, at least 6 rounds form a straddle shot, and the remaining bullet points are also around the battleship, and the distribution is very even, which is already covered, and then, as long as you make a little adjustment, you can hit.
The distance of more than 8 nautical miles, the metric system is close to 15 kilometers, compared to the British standard range, at least 50% more, but it has such an amazing hit rate, the next is worse, if the next hit rate is still so high, then the trouble is big, he regretted it for the first time, why did he fight with the other party, didn't he say it before, just fight with them.
But if you really think about it, even if you do it all over again, he will still choose this way, the other party's confusion is too strong, when the two sides seized the battle line, they did not preempt, and they were divided into scattered states, this is not to give them a chance, even when it was time to fire, they still did not occupy the battle line, it was very strange, how did they achieve such a high hit rate.
As an orthodox naval officer, he is also very concerned about the changes in naval technology, is this a new method of aiming, at this moment, Abit was a little distracted, but soon, he came to his senses, the reason is simple, there is a scream of artillery in the sky, he realizes the danger, this is still in the fighting.
Abit reacted quickly, and also issued a series of orders, asking the battleships under his command to evade, but it was still too late, the salvo speed of the opponent's main guns was much faster than he thought, the speed of the salvo in a minute was about 4 times, and even when the first wave of shells was still in the air and did not land, the second wave had already begun to attack.
After the first wave of feedback information, the second wave was more accurate, this time there was no straddle firing, 2 shells hit, Scheer used armor-piercing shells early, 15-inch armor-piercing shells, using China's latest technology and tungsten core, armor-piercing ability compared to steel cores, at least a few grades higher, the two main targets were shot.
A shot passed on the rear side of the foredeck, and a large hole was punched into the first class, hundreds of tons of seawater were poured in, so that the speed of the ship was lowered sharply, and two large holes were pierced through the deck and the side side, and the position was relatively high.
For the battleship, this one is considered a slight injury to the other one, but the other one is much more terrifying, hitting a main gun, a 15-inch gun, and specially using armor-piercing shells, this main gun was directly twisted into a twist, and it was completely destroyed.
The scrapping of two guns at once is not a small blow to a battleship, not to mention the high speed and the explosion caused by the explosion, which makes this battleship smoke rise.
Two attacks, two hits, such a hit rate, made Abbit's scalp a little numb, and was about to change, but the third wave of the other party came one after another, the target was still the two battleships that were hit, although they were hit by two shells, and they did not suffer fatal damage, but these two shots had a big blow to his speed, one of the maximum speed was reduced from 23 knots to 19 knots, and the other was reduced from 22 knots to 17 knots, after the speed was reduced, the first performance was clumsy, Even if Abbitt had ordered them to avoid it with all their might, the reduced speed would make them start to be dangerous. (To be continued.) )
