Guessing that Major Du Feng was performing a sideways maneuver, Long Yun didn't find it tricky.

In the face of the high-speed attack of the attacker, if you only use one or two side turns to evade, I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of the opponent's distributed radar tracking; Looking at the screen display in the "cockpit", the current situation is also as Long Yun guessed, the relative position of the fast-flying "Yanlong" and the opponent changes very quickly, and even if Major Du Feng's landline keeps turning sideways, it is difficult to meet the harsh flight conditions of avoiding Doppler radar tracking.

However, even so, seeing from the screen that the opponent's track had been moving sideways intermittently, Long Yun still felt a little regretful: if Major Du Feng had been maneuvering sideways like this and completely leaving his original position, then his two-round PL-15K salvo would probably have completely lost its threat.

Launching missiles first, but being calmly escaped by the opponent, will he Long Yun make this kind of mistake?

Thoughts flashed in his mind, but Long Yun subconsciously thought that this was not the case, after all, it was the first time to fight against him with a strong attack machine, if he didn't strike first and let the opponent take the lead, then he really didn't have a complete countermeasure.

With this in mind, noticing that the flight trajectory of the target aircraft was constantly changing, Long Yun felt that the "Yanlong" on the opposite side should be performing a lateral transposition similar to a serpentine maneuver; The RWR warning has not responded for the time being, combined with the current analysis of the situation between friend and foe, that is to say, Major Du Feng did not launch any long-range missile attack just now?

Such a strategy was a bit unexpected for Long Yun.

For this confrontation on the simulator, for the sake of fairness, the mounts of the fighters on both sides must be the same; The major did not take advantage of the range advantage of long-range missiles to preemptively strike. This style of play made Long Yun a little vigilant. Although it is not yet known what the specific situation is. But I thought that there was an active pilot sitting in the simulator next to me. He didn't know what tactics these steeled Feifei would use to deal with him, he thought nervously for a moment, but he didn't catch any clues, so he could only follow the prompts given by the fire control system, turn on the pre-power of the remaining twelve PL-15Cs, and prepare to find an opportunity to launch the second batch of over-the-horizon attacks when he approached the opponent to a distance of about 80 kilometers.

From the discovery of the target to the present, although it is a confrontation between the assault planes, the two sides have not yet entered into visual contact, so they can't talk about observing each other, and Long Yun's current feeling is a little unreal. In a trance, I almost thought I was flying an ordinary fighter to maneuver with my opponent.

After all, onlookers may be able to understand that he, a participant, is sitting in a simulated cockpit, even if he is driving a Star Destroyer, he can't see what it looks like.

But......

This is a strong attack plane after all......

Staring at the multi-function display in front of him, his thoughts began to diverge unconsciously; In the tense confrontation, he deserted, Long Yun did not realize this abnormal situation in the slightest, nor did he realize that his mental state and even his thinking activities today were a little different from usual.

To say "different" is actually more appropriate to say that it is abnormal.

This deep turbulence of consciousness is like a river flowing under ice; On the surface, it is temporarily the same, but its essence has changed imperceptibly. Just as the simulator is "driving" the X-8A all the way, firing missiles to attack the opponent. The control in his hand was still accurate, but there was a faint hint of incongruity in Long Yun's heart. He began to feel that he was in control of a real assault plane, but this kind of control feel-

No, no, this should be a fighter jet, or a "fighter mode" of a strong attack aircraft!

Thinking of this, from the momentary thinking line back to reality, the scene in the cockpit is still the same, and the sound of "Didi" of the fire control system tracking smoothly is still in my ears; Unconsciously pulling the rod and pedaling the rudder, making a few slight movements in the air, it felt like the feedback that a conventional configuration fighter should have, Long Yun relaxed but also felt a trace of subtle disappointment.

Yes, if it is a strong attack aircraft, it is impossible to have only this kind of maneuverability......

Long Yun also has some principled understanding of the terrifying maneuver of the attack plane, and he thinks that there is a joke that is very appropriate here, that is, "as long as the power is enough, the bricks can fly."

Indeed, unlike traditional fighters, which mainly rely on aerodynamic forces to maneuver, the attack aircraft is large in size and weight, but it has also soared because of armor protection, and the wing load is naturally much higher than that of ordinary fighters, which means that if you rely solely on aerodynamic forces to maneuver, the agility of the assault aircraft at the same speed is even inferior to that of the fighter. However, to study this problem, if we analyze it in conjunction with the atomic hydrogen engine with vector propulsion, the situation can be said to be just the opposite: the abundant thrust of the assault aircraft, and the high thrust-to-weight ratio that comes with it, allow it to ignore the flight state and maneuver as it pleases on a considerable distance, which is beyond the reach of a fighter with relatively weak power, even if the same thrust vector is used.

The unprecedentedly powerful maneuverability is naturally an important factor for a strong attack aircraft to defeat the enemy.

However, now, Long Yun, who is in the simulator and controls the assault aircraft, does not feel the advantages that this "Yanlong" should have at all, because the X-8A he controls has been set to "fighter mode", and all super-maneuverable control and thrust vector control have been disabled.

When he first took over the simulator, Long Yun, who was busy getting familiar with the interface, didn't have time to think so much, and it wasn't until now that he began to feel it; But as the missiles flying in the sky gradually approached, showing their bodies one by one in the clear sky, the short and rough sounds of RWR and ultraviolet alarms filled the cockpit, and Long Yun, who had just locked on the target and launched the second wave of missiles, that is, a large number of PL-15C, immediately became nervous, and Major Du Feng's attack finally came!

The sound of the alarm often brings a burst of nervousness to the pilot.

Even now, the airborne missile detection system dutifully issued a warning that the incoming missile in the sky was approaching and would soon encounter the aircraft; Although he was sitting in the cockpit of the simulator, Long Yun still looked around with his eyes wide open, and he quickly found several faint black spots in the sky, these are all the missiles that came to him?

On the simulator's high-resolution screen, the missiles that seem to be far away can only show a blurry image like dust; Suddenly spotting the threat, Long Yun habitually lowered his head slightly and looked at the direction of the RWR alarm, but was surprised to see that the indication on the azimuth disk was not accurate at all. The RWR warning system, which was supposed to accurately pinpoint the direction of the incoming missile and could cope with the threat from more than one direction, now only roughly displays the radiation detection information at an angle of about 60 degrees in front of the fighter.

What does this mean, is it said that the RWR alarm on the "Yanlong" is so rudimentary, and it is not even as good as the light plate on the old SK?

Of course that's, then—

Staring at the large sky outside the cockpit, there were one or two more faint black spots in the field of vision at this time, and there was no room to think about it, Long Yun just subconsciously guessed a possibility, maybe there were too many missiles attacking in front of him, and the distribution was very sparse, and the signal overlap of the homing head made the RWR system unable to determine the direction of the radiation source?

This kind of speculation, although it is only an assumption of Long Yun, is very close to the truth.

From just now to the present, the "Yanlong" piloting the supersonic state has been maneuvering and flying in the air, and the black vision effect displayed in the cockpit has appeared from time to time, and Du Feng, who has a clear idea, has not stopped the operation of the weapon system. Unlike Long Yun's choice of frontal sprint and missile salvo, he now uses a typical tactic of a strong attack aircraft against a single target, that is, relying on the strong acceleration of the aircraft itself, quickly performing a series of maneuvers alternating sharp sideways and resuming flat flight in the sky, and every time the nose is aimed at the target, he decisively locks on the target and launches a batch of at least two PL-15K missiles.

If you look up from the ground and observe this means of attack, the missiles launched by the fighters show a spiral involute distribution in the air, launching intensive and rapid attacks on the incoming targets from different heights and directions. Such an attack is completely inescapable for ordinary aircraft, and even a strong-skinned aircraft with thick skin will feel very tricky.

And now, with the sudden leap of time, missiles have come from different angles of the wide sector!

Feeling that the threat was imminent, Long Yun, who was piloting a strong attack plane for the first time, was nervous, and he switched the screen display mode with some hands, switching the image of the missile detection system to the center of the screen to enlarge the display. Unlike the RWR system, which has limited angular accuracy, the "Yanlong" flying sideways to the sun, the airborne ultraviolet warning system finally played a role at this time, and the light sensor quickly determined the position information of the incoming missiles one by one, and the red dots were superimposed on the display image, and the display information prompted the number of incoming targets to ten, and it is further increasing.

――Is it still increasing?

Seeing that there were so many red dots jumping on the screen, Long Yun, who had been through a hundred battles, couldn't help but gasp.

This Major Du, how did he do it, what kind of tactics did he use!

There was still a lack of understanding of the tactical use of the assault aircraft, and as a genius piloting the fighter, Long Yun really couldn't understand how the opponent did it for a while. Speaking of multiple missiles to cooperate with attacks, he has not used this kind of thing in competitions and battles; However, in the air battle between fighters, the combat strategy of "multi-batch, multi-directional sector attack" looks very beautiful, but no one can use it, the reason is actually that the engine power of the fighter is not enough to support the carrier aircraft to carry out violent high-G maneuvers all the time, in that case, I am afraid that the missile will not be launched, and the fighter itself will stall and hit the ground first.

But the tense confrontation in air combat, where is there time for him to think more! (To be continued......)
