Chapter 148
But here comes the trouble for Wei An.
The 381mm main gun is already the main gun of the battleship.
So there is a huge problem. It is difficult to find a main gun of this caliber. Even Lexington and the others have not found a suitable main gun.
If you have to choose among 381mm, Wei An has no second answer.
The drug cannon used by Veneto's eldest sister has a 381mm main gun with a vertical penetration of 406mm. It is the most powerful main gun in its class.
The shortcomings are also very obvious: excessive dispersion and barrel life.
But is the life of the barrel still a thing for ship girls?
As for walking, it is already as deep as 406. What else do you want? Putting the disadvantages and advantages together, it is not a problem.
What's more, after installing radar, his ship girls have a higher hit rate than other ship girls, which can make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.
The only difficult thing is that the source of this gun is Veneto or Veneto-class battleship.
Littorio, Veneto, and Roma all carry this kind of main gun, and Veneto also has an improved version.
The way to get it is also very simple. Find these ship girls and establish a good relationship with them. The relationship will gradually heat up and eventually make them shy.
Needless to say, he was shy. He had not even seen her since he had been in the academy for so long. He would drink a few more sips of coffee before each construction, just to see if he could build her.
Could there be some bond between them, but not surprisingly, there isn't.
【Hey, VV】
【Obviously my grandmother is from the Empire, my mother is from the Empire, and even my last name is Wei. I have some blood from country L, so why don’t you come out. 】
Just like other time-traveling seniors, Wei An also has his own favorite girl in his heart.
Everyone liked Mrs. Lexington, but he liked VV because she fell in love with coffee and wanted to taste her big torpedo.
Take a sip of the still warm coffee at hand and feel the bitterness.
Cutting off his divergent thinking, Wei An continued to devote himself to the struggle.
Without Veneto, he has another way, research and development.
After all, he has Clemenceau, which has a 381mm main gun. Although it can't be obtained directly like Yukikaze, a battleship is parked there.
As a ship designer, wouldn't he be able to enter a battleship and analyze it carefully?
As long as he can understand the general principles, he can already make ship equipment.
If we can also observe the Clemenceau battleship on the spot, wouldn't we be able to get more specific parameters?
Under such circumstances, making ship equipment is not easy.
As for why Wei An knew about such a problem, he had to find the cause of the problem from Saratoga.
The value of her ship equipment was obviously higher than that of Shropshire, and during this period of time, he had already boarded both of their battleships.
Saw the battleship Saratoga【BTD-1 Destroyer], an idea came to his mind.
Bomber, purple bomber.
The main reason why Saratoga is so powerful now is that she inherently carries stronger bombers than most ship girls.
When the aircraft carrier is poorly equipped, fighting like a bumblebee has an advantage over other aircraft carrier girls.
Although it can only spawn up to 15 ships, it is much better than having no ship girls at all.
The most important thing is that apart from being driven out of deep-sea trophies, the only sources that can be obtained for this type of bomber are Lexington and Saratoga.
Unfortunately, both ship girls were here with him.
He doesn't dare to sell colored carrier-based aircraft, but purple ones are no problem. There are many aircraft carrier ladies like Saratoga who were short of bombers in the past.
Then the resources he may lack now can be filled quickly if shipments are not fast.
By these rich women.
And why did Lexington and Xuefeng take so long before?
Because they are there to set up sales for future sales.
So Wei An took some time off from his busy schedule and stayed on the ship at Saratoga to observe this kind of carrier-based aircraft.
Then I spent 2,000 energy, which was a bit painful. Unsurprisingly, the difficulty of imitating it was lower than expected.
In particular, the parameters of many ship equipment are more detailed than those in his talent collection.
He knew the general principles of talent, but it was more of talent that he had perfected, but the ship equipment on the Saratoga hull was something he only understood a little bit, and he copied it from the tiger to the cat.
It only costs 2,000 energy points. Except for the first time when I was a bit unskilled and failed, I easily finished it the second time.
It also opened a new world for Wei An.
The previous ship equipment of the ship girls was no longer useless data, it could really be used by him, and he also found that he could understand a lot of the meaning of the data that he had previously been unable to understand on other ship-based aircraft equipment.
The real treasure trove is not in his talent, but in the bodies of the ship girls around him, their ships.
By spending only a few resources, he can have a great understanding of this type of ship equipment, which will be of great help to his inspiration for research and development.
Therefore, in the absence of a drug cannon, Clemenceau's 381mm main gun is also an alternative for Vian.
But after all, he expected the displacement of the battleship to be around 3W tons, and the space occupied by the quadruple-mounted main guns would be larger than that of the triple-mounted guns.
Moreover, after installing a 4-gun main gun now, if it is changed to a triple gun in the future, the current hull design will still have an impact on the future.
Exploitation may not be so perfect.
Unless he gets the data on the drug cannon in the future and changes it to a quadruple unit.
【Wait, change it to quadruple? 】
Thinking of this, Wei'an suddenly became clear.
What are the requirements for his cruiser?
The firepower for conventional battleships may also be the warship that he will sail the most in addition to destroyers in the future.
Because he wants to control the displacement of the battleship to around 30,000 tons, so after meeting the most basic speed and fixed reserved holes.
In the case of heavy air defense and firepower, other equipment must be reduced.
The advantages of the quadruple turret are also obvious. It shortens the length of the core area and facilitates protection; it is convenient to concentrate firepower and can also reduce the tonnage of the battleship with the same number of main guns.
Disadvantages, high failure rate, low hit rate; the turret is large and the width of the hull is forced to increase.
But Wei'an can help them solve most of the problems, so it is not a problem.
The quadruple drug gun belongs to the negative buff stacked up, but if these problems can be solved, it is undoubtedly the strongest main gun in the same level, no one.
As long as you can get the deep-sea combat recovery ability and improve the fire control system. His cruisers will also be the strongest cruisers. They can do what destroyers can do and deal with opponents that battleships can deal with. Their only weakness may be that they are a little fragile.
