"Judging from this war, the air force's attack efficiency on battleships is still too low, and the bombs carried by single-shot dive bombers are limited, and it is difficult to cause fatal damage to the main battleship. And the bombing accuracy of twin-engine aircraft is very poor. The so-called ricochet attack is at most against civilian ships, and it is not a great threat to warships with broadside armor belts and strong air defense capabilities. Even with technological progress, dive bombers carried bombs up to the 800kg level. Or after the appearance of a twin-engine bomber that can dive at an angle of 60 degrees, the attack power against the battleship is still not enough. Because with the progress of radar technology, the use of radar to guide artillery attacks on aircraft has become a reality, and if the radio fuse that the General Logistics Department has started to develop is successful, then the efficiency of air defense will be greatly increased. ”

"In addition to aircraft performance, dive bombers place quite high demands on the crew. In future wars, the rate of depletion of crew will definitely be very fast, and the quality of pilots trained in wartime is obviously not comparable with those who have been trained for a long time before the war. And whether it is large-angle dive bombing or ground-to-air horizontal bombing, it is too dangerous for pilots. It is definitely not an exaggeration to lose about 2 percent of the crew in a battle, maybe it won't be long before the pilots we have trained for several years will be lost in battle, and even if there are fighters to provide fire suppression, the effect will not be very good, because the newly built warships of various countries are equipped with semi-enclosed gun covers, and their armor protection can resist the attack of 20mm machine guns. ”

"The big problem, of course, is that the most expensive bomber, with the largest bomb load and the longest range, cannot be used to attack the sea. You should know that the range and bomb load of an airplane is a game of addition and subtraction. Although the fighter we design in the future can have a bomb load of more than 1.5 tons, the range of this aircraft can be described as tragic under this load. It can only be used for ground support, not naval warfare. This has to be said to be a very regrettable thing. "Su Mo, who returned from the European battlefield, found an opportunity, just like Xu Jie poured bitter water.

"Okay, okay, I got it. The research and development of relevant guidance weapons and equipment has already begun, and first of all, we will focus on sea and ground attacks. Then there is anti-air and ground-to-air. The former is easier and more urgent. As for the latter? Too technically difficult. And the practicality will also be a little worse. In the future, our four-engine bombers will have a strong ability to attack the sea. You can rest assured of this. Xu Jie replied quite confidently. In this plane. Huaxia has the technical support of the United States and Britain and the ideological support of the traverser, if it cannot surpass the German guided weapons, it will be too much to say!

Historically, if you attack a battleship with an ordinary bomb, the best effect is a single-engine aircraft, and its advantage is that it can dive at a large angle to ensure the penetration and accuracy of the bomb. As for twin-engine aircraft? Except for the German JU88, which can ensure a 65-degree angle for dive bombing, Xu Jie really can't remember which other aircraft can guarantee such a bomb angle. (Mosquitoes should be fine, but the author did not find exact information.) But theoretically achievable performance. Not necessarily in the hands of different pilots. The battleship Nelson was hit by a 1000kg armor-piercing shell thrown by a Ju88. As a result, what was supposed to penetrate the Nelson's horizontal armor turned out to be bounced off. So don't look at the piles of bombers of a country in World War 2 in history. However, there are only a few who can have the ability to attack ships.

The accuracy of a single-engine aircraft is there, but the direct contradiction between fuel load, flight performance and bomb load often makes the aircraft unable to play the data on paper. In addition to the last piston propeller attack aircraft AD series that came out after the end of World War II. The largest bomb load of a single-engine aircraft in history is less than 2 tons. But if you really fly with such a large bomb load, even if you have an open-class R2800 engine, it is still not enough. For example, the F4U4 aircraft, which is known as the strongest carrier-based aircraft in World War II, can have a maximum bomb load of 2 small Tim rockets (caliber 11.75 inches, near, 581kg) plus 8 5-inch high-speed rockets (63.5kg) in relevant US documents. If you do the math carefully, this bomb load reaches 1670kg, which is terrifying! …

But this is also the data is good-looking, and in fact, there are very few such ones. Because under such a load, let alone how far the take-off distance is. (Anyway, the US imperialists have catapults, and they can settle for a while.) But with only a combat range of 360 nautical miles, this is unbearable! And this range is still achieved at a low speed cruise of more than 300 km! Unless it is to support the beachhead landing, in normal naval battles and naval and air battles. Such a loading situation does not appear at all. And the fuel load of the Corsair 4 is not small, 1400 liters of internal oil. It's not as good as the P51, but it's much better than the F190, BF109 and Spitfire.

In addition, there is also a problem with single-engine aircraft, and there are relatively few heavy-duty pylons, which can generally carry bombs of more than 500kg only 1, and at most 2. Generally, there is only one heavy-duty pyloner that can reach the 800kg level, of course, if you play the limit, it is also possible to break through. But that's a special case, so don't even think about it. And look at the situation when almost the whole world is now armored aircraft carriers. 500kg armor-piercing bullets are not necessarily enough. The opponents that China faced this time were not Essex and the like in history, but all of them were warships similar to the protection level of the British feud or the Japanese Daho.

Before the great AD1 came out. A single-shot attack aircraft with one 800kg bomb and two small fuel tanks is almost at its limit. And under heavy loads. Its range and speed will be very slow, even if you are a fighter with the physique! If you want to drop a bomb on the other person's head, you can get past it alive. Even if a fighter as strong as the Corsair 4 had 800kg bombs and fuel tanks attached to it, it would have been quite difficult to pass through an attack by a fighter of the F190A4 level. If the escort is not in place, you will either be knocked down, or you will drop a bomb and leave. Don't try to throw a bomb on the other person's head anyway.

Historically, bombers of the JU88 and DO217 classes could carry at least 2 Fritz X bombs weighing 1570kg. (It's the one that sank the Roma.) And a heavy bomber like the HE177 can carry 3-4 rounds of HS293 anti-ship missiles. The author saw in a book that the lower part of the wing hung a shot on one side. Then the lower part of the fuselage is hung with two rounds, but generally speaking, it is more practical to have 3 rounds. As for power? Needless to say, the Fritz X bomb was a P1400 semi-armor-piercing projectile (P1400) dropped from about 3,000 meters in the air and directly penetrated the horizontal armor of several layers of the Roma. This means that almost all battleships can be destroyed. The HS293 warhead is smaller, and it started with 500kg bombs, but later it can also be upgraded to the 800kg level, and it may be more difficult to fight battleships, but it is not a dream to bomb an aircraft carrier and be crippled with one shot!

And the biggest advantage of using this kind of guided weapon is that it can be launched outside the opponent's defense zone, whether it is a Fritz X guided bomb or an HS293 missile, it can almost ensure that the carrier aircraft attacks outside the effective range of the 40mm Bofors air defense gun, even if the Fritz X bomb is thrown closely, its throwing distance is also about 8km, plus the oblique distance, it is very difficult for the US 5-inch high-level dual-purpose gun to hit the target in history. After all, this is a bit far away, and the goal is a bit high!

Thinking about a bunch of heavy bombers with all kinds of guided bombs and anti-ship missiles to attack a fleet, Xu Jie was a little excited, this is something that the Russians wanted to do but couldn't do during the Cold War. Of course, in fact, the efficiency of those guided weapons in World War II in history was not very high, not to mention that the Germans had relatively poor electronic technology, and after the first wave received some heads, the US imperialists and British imperialists quickly developed electronic countermeasures equipment, which greatly interfered with the accuracy of German guided weapons. Even if there is no interference, the Germans' own missiles and guidance systems have many problems and restrictions on their use, such as the improved version of the HS293 missile equipped with a television camera. The idea was very good, and it came out in real life, but in the end it was finally abandoned because of the immaturity of the technology.

If China wants to engage in this kind of weapon, the Germans will definitely do it, and they will not do it worse than in history. So now a question arises. In the face of such a weapon, how can Huaxia defend itself? Xu Jie didn't think about this kind of problem, but in the end, he found that there was really no other better way than using electronic jamming and fighter interception. Anti-aircraft artillery can't reach carrier aircraft, and it is not realistic to want to hit a missile that is not large, and it is not realistic to have a very fast missile. As for engaging in anti-aircraft missiles and long-range air defense? It's better to wash and sleep on this, this technique is too difficult. Although Germany also got a ground-to-air missile launcher called Gentian grass in history, but this thing has not been put into actual combat after all, and the volume and weight are too large, this missile launch weight of 1800kg, wingspan of 4 meters, length of 2.4 meters, and a diameter of 0.88 meters is really not on board. As for whether a shipborne anti-aircraft missile can be developed after combining the technology of the United States and Britain, Xu Jie does not have much hope, after all, the first American anti-aircraft missile Brass Knight in history in 1952 has just been tested. This technique is too difficult.
