Chapter 1233: A Powerful Root
Listening to the Americans, he never interjected, these professional things, he didn't interject, but the designer's yelling startled, he didn't expect that an old man in his fifties with a white beard could scream so loudly, in his opinion, it's nothing, isn't it just a bit accurate.
Although he was in the navy, he was not familiar with battleships and battle lines, and he did not understand how terrible they were, but it was those who knew more and more about him that he knew how terrible he was, and that he had a powerful attack capability without forming a battle line.
This includes senior British naval officers and designers, after the battle line emerged from the naval battle, it is a thing that people love and hate, love it because the battle line has a strong attack power, can easily unify the strength of a whole fleet together, especially the dreadnought such a full heavy gun battleship, can perfectly play the benefits of the strong attack power of the battleship. But the weakness is also obvious, that is, the range of movement is very small, so that as long as you know a little about the battle line, it is easy to judge that the trajectory of the opponent's activities has increased the hit, but the damage you have received is not small, this is the real practice of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.
These designers are all from the young age, they were arrogant when they were young, and they wanted to solve this problem, but from young to old, they designed many warships in a few decades, but this problem is still unsolvable, especially the chief, he designed countless models, but in the end, he was overturned one by one. That's why he's so excited.
Thrilled or not. But facts are facts, and there will be no falsity in the war report. What's more, if a person falsifies, is it that dozens of warships, the vast majority of people are fake, this is almost impossible to do, the war reports sent are compiled from dozens of war reports, and there are even original war reports, and the mutual citation of these war reports is impossible to have a problem, then there is only one problem. The Scheer fleet really has this ability. That's right, under 9 against 9, no battle line was used, and each battleship was free to evade, but then it could exert a unified strength and kill 5 battleships with great accuracy, which is the true face of the Scheer fleet.
After the chief designer vented, he finally returned to the battle report, and the Scheer fleet did not simply master a special method of shooting. Because they carefully analyzed, from the first wave of attacks to the last wave of attacks, they are constantly changing. This change is irregular, and it is not rehearsed in advance. But every wave hits this side of the time. Relatively uniform, from the first shot to the last. No more than 10 seconds. This speed is extremely difficult for a well-trained battle line. You know, in the middle of the exercise. It is impossible to reduce the salvo of the battleship to less than 10 seconds, 30 seconds is a good number, 1 minute is relatively normal, such a neat design involves too many things, more than everyone's imagination.
On the battle line, it is not particularly possible to be relatively concentrated, let alone in the case of skirmishers, perhaps, Scheer has mastered a new method of warfare, but how to coordinate this method of warfare, how to ensure accuracy, in the complex H sea operation, a gunner's action is a grade slower, maybe a few seconds, or even ten seconds have passed, and even the trajectory of the shell flying in the air, the angle and the aim are slightly deviated, which is the difference of more than ten seconds, or even half a minute, if you want to achieve ten seconds, It was almost a miracle.
The more people who knew about it, the more terrible they felt, but they had just been frightened by the fact that the American representative tentatively said: "Maybe it's the result of training!" ”
British Admiral Fisher glared at the Americans, and the Americans said a little bewildered: "I heard that Scheer has been training in Southeast Asia for more than 2 years!" ”
"Needless to say, it can't be!" Fisher said with a bit of a blow of his beard and glaring.
The American opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he met Fisher's angry face, he didn't say anything more. In fact, in the whole room, designers and officers know that this possibility is not big, the battle line is honest, it is a double-edged sword, standing on the battle line, the room for itself to move is too small, in this case, as long as it is attacked by the other party, it can only resist hard, but the battle line can maximize the advantages of the battleship's main guns, and to a certain extent, improve the effect of artillery bombardment, which is also more beneficial than disadvantageous,
It's not that no one has changed this, but on the contrary, the development of warships makes it impossible to change this, the reason is very simple, the coordination problem, the closer the easier it is to control, the skilled gunner, according to habits, set a certain time for the firing of the main gun, coordinate to one, to ensure the effect of the cheats of the shelling, especially under the strong madness of the ship.
In order to achieve the same coordination as skirmishers, first of all, the communication must be instantaneous, and then it is necessary to calculate the margin of each ship, and even each individual transmission, the design time cannot be at the same time, and this time grasp is a big problem, and the amount of calculation involved is quite large, which is also where they can't figure it out.
When most of the designers focused on the breakthrough development of the aiming system, and wanted to figure out what kind of aiming has such a powerful effect, a designer keenly saw another problem, and raised that less than 10 shells, without a clear hit on the ammunition, caused a martyrdom under the premise that the two capital ships lost their ability to resist and even began to sink.
The chief designer was stunned, the more he thought about it, the more serious his face became, the toughness of the Scheer fleet did not seem to be a breakthrough produced in one place, the project of the 15-inch gun, they were also studying it in the UK, and they also knew the general attack power, but even if the full effect of the design was achieved, it was impossible for this 15-inch naval gun to penetrate the armor of the capital ship so easily, especially after calculating the armor of the capital ship that was hit, they got an amazing result, that is, the armor-piercing effect of the opponent's 15-inch main gun, The maximum armor-piercing ability of the 15-inch guns in their design is more than 40%, which can no longer be called a big difference in the field of battleships' main guns, this is a whole generation, or even two generations, almost the gap between 12 inches and 15 inches.
This gap is a bit big, between 12 inches and 15 inches, it seems, is only a three-inch gap, this is almost 7 years, or even more research process, on the battleship, this is almost a generation, from the dreadnought to the super dreadnought, the difference in strength is unimaginable.
Faster speed, sharper artillery fire, and even stronger defense, in the battle report, there are also several records of their counterattack hits, but the opponent's armor is extremely strong, and it directly bounced off these cannons, without causing any results that can be seen by observation.
This is also the fundamental reason for the disparity in the results of this battle, 9 ships against 9 ships, they sank 5 ships, injured 3 ships, but the other party, unharmed, seven or eight shells hit, not even the fur was injured, in this sense, the other party's protection is probably not a simple protection, and it is also above the level.
Strong power, strong tonnage, outstanding protection, coupled with sharp artillery, this battleship is much more perfect than the Queen Elizabeth class, such a battleship, but it is not the British Imperial Navy, but the enemy's German Navy, why is this so.
"Can you assess the combat effectiveness of Scheer's fleet?" Fisher saw that the designers of the entire room fell into an inexplicable state of silence, and took the initiative to break the bottleneck and said.
This, everyone looks at each other, for now, at least 9 ships can fight more than 15, but is this the limit? A young naval officer, seeing that everyone was silent, said a little boldly: "If, the 18 ships of the High Seas Fleet, combined into a battle line, are in front, and Scheer's fleet is divided into skirmishers, in the rear. ”
This brain-opening idea, but everyone can't say a word, and even the chief designer also fought a chill, the Scheer fleet, it only took 30 minutes, to kill the combat effectiveness of 5 capital ships, the attack power of the Scheer fleet is very strong, such a powerful, almost decisive combat effectiveness, without any of them can not be played, it is completely possible to take the other warships of the high seas fleet, as a shield, hide behind himself to attack, so that it is easier to exert his attack power, in this case, Nine ships is not 15, in terms of attack power, maybe 20 or 30, as long as the high seas fleet does not completely disappear, the British fleet will not be able to attack it.
In an instant, the superiority of the home fleet, the British Navy, and even the Allied fleet, under such an open mind, was swept away, not without thinking, directly attacking him, as soon as the range of the Scheer fleet is much higher than that of the high seas fleet, it is naturally behind, if you ignore the high seas fleet and attack the Scheer fleet, not to mention that the Scheer fleet is scattered to dodge, if you can attack him, if you can attack him, the situation may be worse, because the high seas fleet is not vegetarian.
I thought that with the support of the United States, plus France and its own fleet, there would be an overwhelming advantage over the German fleet, but I didn't expect that it would be such a result, the appearance of 9 ships, balancing the difference between more than a dozen ships on both sides, once the decisive battle, Germany even has a clear upper hand, maybe it is ****.
This is completely unacceptable to the British, the army itself has been suppressed, and now it is easy to spend huge sacrifices and slowly stabilize the situation, but the navy has this, why is this cutting-edge warship so powerful. (To be continued.) )
