Aiming at the runway markings and driving the fighter plane to take off with maximum thrust, Long Yun slid on the runway for more than 800 meters before pulling the plane up.

After taking off, Long Yun did not spare fuel and began to climb quickly according to the standard air combat mode. Affected by the weak WP-7B engine, the thrust of the J-8I with dual engines is still somewhat insufficient, and the low-speed maneuverability is not as good as that of the MiG-23 with a variable swept wing.

Unlike the modern fighter confrontation in the game world, because there is neither an early warning aircraft nor a ground guide, if the aircraft's radar is not powerful, not to mention fighting, it is not easy to find the target.

Fortunately, for the convenience of the test, the GM approached directly to the direction where Long Yun was, and the two sides entered radar contact less than five minutes after flying.

Because neither of the warring sides had medium-range missiles, with the idea of engaging in combat, Long Yun and the enemy plane invariably began to fly head-to-head, and almost simultaneously entered the circling maneuver confrontation after visual contact.

Unlike in the real world, there are almost no airflow issues in the skies, and this kind of hovering confrontation is almost a battle of parameters, and whoever has the best performance can force the opponent to give up the place first. At this time, Long Yun didn't have much to think about, circling and fighting until the end, there would always be one side that would run out of energy and enter a stall; As a J-8 fighter with a clean and stable design and mechanical control system, it is difficult to change it once it enters, and he doesn't know if he can do it.

Thinking of this, Long Yun decisively did not continue to hover, but changed to accelerate level flight and gave up grappling.

Although the high-speed performance of the MiG-23 is also good, the attack of the short-range missile is not too threatening, not to mention that the performance of the R-13 missile is not necessarily stronger than the PL-5C mounted on the J-8I; Instead of circling and fighting, it is better to fight with the other party to plunder and attack.

Sure enough, finding that Long Yun had no intention of fighting, the opponent immediately changed course and followed, and then launched an R-13, but Long Yun had already recovered his speed to Mach 1.7 at this time, and he pulled two high-overload S maneuvers to shake off the poorly fired missile.

Thinking that the outdated structure design of the J-8I was not suitable for such a drastic action, Long Yun really sweated, but he immediately realized that this was just a game, and then he put his mind at ease.

As both planes accelerated, the battle evolved into a plundering confrontation over a larger area, limited by the ability of the missiles, both Long Yun and the opponent could only carry out tail chase attacks, and the shape of the battle became more complicated.

In fact, Long Yun's choice was very correct. The setting in the game is basically the same as reality, and he knows that the MiG-23MS does not have the ability to launch R-23 and R-60 series missiles, but can only use the R-13, which has a tail chase attack range of only a few kilometers. Therefore, as long as the altitude and distance from the enemy aircraft are opened, basically the opponent has no way to take him.

Of course, the MiG-23 could choose to sweep the wings back to seventy degrees to accelerate the pursuit, but at this time the maneuverability of the aircraft would also deteriorate, and he might not dare to take such a risk.

After facing each other like this for a while, Long Yun found that if he continued like this, the opponent would not be able to catch him, but he would not be able to beat the opponent either.

Both of them are really ordinary fighters against each other, and there is really no means to use them; Long Yun hesitated slightly, and when he looked back again, he found that he had broken away from visual contact with the enemy plane, and there was no trace of the enemy plane in the sky.

Oops, what are we going to do now?

Unlike real air combat, the confrontation in the game does not have ground-based radar guidance, let alone AWACS aircraft to provide target designation. The player can only use the fighter's own radar to search for targets. However, whether it is the opponent's MiG-23MS or Longyun's J-8I, the radars actually used are very old models, and the detection distance of these two single-pulse radars of the same door to targets the size of fighters is about 20 kilometers.

Now the speed of the two planes is very high, once they get out of contact, to tell a joke, it's hard to say whether they can even find each other.

If we just can't meet, how will this battle be fought?

He had never encountered such a situation before, Long Yun thought about it for a while, and already had a plan in his heart. At this time, although the opponent could not be found, the radar alarm did not respond, and the opponent should not have found him.

Long Yun correctly estimated that the opponent should keep the spiral involute hovering at the original height at this time, waiting for the opportunity to move; Then he should also act in this way, but at a lower altitude, so that he can use the ground echo to interfere with the opponent's detection. Against outdated single-pulse radars, this is a tried-and-true strategy; With the reduction in altitude, the maneuverability of the J-8I will be different from that of the MiG-23, but it is also worth giving it a go.

Thinking of this, Long Yun began to dive into the circle, and he also had to use the spiral unfolding line to gradually extrapolate until he found the enemy plane and carried out a plundering attack.

The hard work paid off, and after a long circle, Long Yun, who was nervously paying attention to the radar display, suddenly discovered a fleeting echo signal. In order to avoid startling the enemy, Long Yun immediately turned off the radar after determining the direction and distance of the enemy plane, and adopted a silent approach to the opponent.

At this time, the fighter plane did not have much fuel left, but Long Yun was still fully throttled, and he needed to maintain his speed advantage before engaging the enemy in order to ensure that he could catch the enemy plane with the advantage in altitude.

As an ever-expanding black dot appeared above the front, Long Yun quickly approached from the blind spot behind and below the enemy fighter plane. Just when he had already chased the enemy aircraft into the PL-5C's high-probability hit zone and was ready for all launches, the cunning enemy aircraft was aware of it, but by this time it was too late.

Long Yun immediately launched a missile salvo!

You don't need to think too much about it in the game, as long as you have the opportunity to go head-to-head, you have to slap you to death. After continuous complicated operations, Long Yun shot out all four PL-5Cs in one go; The missiles that were hugging each other pulled out dense white smoke and pounced on the target that was about to turn sideways, knocking the MiG-23 into a volley explosion and simply solving the battle.

Exiting the battle, GM talked to Long Yun in the chat window for a while. As for Long Yun's strength, it can now be said that he has a considerable understanding, and the GM told him that the test results will come out soon.

"But I don't have to wait for the result, I lost too badly. You're well-rounded, have you considered joining a team? ”

"Not yet. To be honest, I play games mainly for fun. ”

"Then you think about it. With your strength, you should be able to achieve good results! That's it for the test match, and I hope to play against each other again in the future. Please advise! ”

"Well, it's been a hard work, and please give me a lot of advice."

After dealing with the GM, Long Yun felt a little sleepy, and he turned off the computer. After another wonderful aerial confrontation, the strange dream resurfaced in my subconscious. Experiencing the joy of victory, but still couldn't figure out where his driving skills came from, Long Yun fell asleep in a daze.

As expected, in his sleep, Long Yun returned to the past again.
