Chapter 959: 960 Air Battle between Qin and Shu
Chapter 959 Chapter 960 Air Battle between Qin and Shu
A Type 200 fighter jet was chasing a P36 fighter jet in the distance. Both planes kept shaking left and right, one was avoiding, and the other was trying to lock on the target ahead.
Although the P36 does not have an advantage in terms of speed, there is indeed no generation difference between the two aircraft, so the pilot's experience becomes the key to the outcome.
The pilots of the Qin State actually have actual combat experience. They often attacked during the war with the Orc Empire, and often shot down the Cyric 1 fighter jets equipped by the Orcs.
The performance of the first-generation monoplane is really not very good, so the experience of Qin pilots beating the Orc Empire aircraft is not actually a valid experience in a strict sense.
The fighter pilots of Shu State do not have any actual combat experience, but the aircraft of Shu State are better. After all, the economy of Shu State is better than that of Qin State.
In the vast sky, in the cockpit of the Type 200 fighter jet flying behind, the Shu fighter pilot was trying every means to close the distance. He pulled the joystick and pointed the nose of the plane at the Qin people's plane.
Although the experience of the Qin Army pilot is actually not sufficient, he learned a lot of useful things in the aviation school and knew that it is very dangerous to have someone bite his tail.
So he adopted a more realistic evasive action, steering his plane left and right, trying to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.
“There is an enemy plane following me! There is an enemy plane following me! He is aiming at me! Cover! Cover!” the Qin fighter pilot shouted nervously on the communication channel. He needed the support of his comrades.
It is a pity that the Qin State’s air combat tactics do not yet have a complete two-plane formation tutorial. They use a relatively backward three-plane formation, which is completely messed up once they start fighting.
In the past, this kind of formation had no problems when dealing with the shabby and outdated aircraft of the Orcs. Now, when facing Shu aircraft that are more advanced, or have no generation difference with Qin aircraft, problems arise.
"I can't find you! Sir! I can't find you!" The Qin pilot's nervous response sounded in the earphones.
Now the sky is in chaos. There are flying pencil bombers that are being chased by Shu pilots, Qin fighter planes that are chasing Shu fighter planes, and at the same time, there are Qin fighter planes that are being chased by Shu fighter planes.
In this case, if you want to accurately find your friendly forces, without strict training in peacetime, and without certain regularity in the aircraft formation, it is impossible to rely on contact in the chaos to achieve anything.
The cooperation between the fighter pilots of the Tang Empire was also a "memory" formed after countless trainings. When the pilots of the Tang Empire were not familiar with cooperation, their opponents did not even have airplanes.
Therefore, the Tang Empire's air force had enough time to train and adapt. Then, after the opponent upgraded, it would take advantage of the advantages of radio equipment and the performance advantages of the aircraft to train, and finally trained a team of pilots with the ability to cooperate in air combat in the true sense.
Countries around the world actually hope that their air forces can demonstrate the quality of the Tang Empire pilots on the battlefield. Unfortunately, this takes time and the tempering of countless opponents.
On a chaotic battlefield, it is actually very difficult to distinguish the enemy and friendly forces immediately. The two sides look only as big as a matchbox from a distance of a thousand meters. It is really not easy to identify the characteristics.
This is another reason why countries around the world will basically not purchase the same model of fighter jets, because if a war breaks out, it will be very difficult to identify them.
In order to be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy on the battlefield, all fighter jets in the Tang Empire sprayed yellow identification marks on their noses and wings. At the same time, the red dragon emblem of the Tang Empire was also very eye-catching. Even so, there were several accidental attacks on friendly troops on the battlefield, and several people even died.
The aircraft painting in other countries is more artistic, and the outstanding ones are called various. The aircraft of some countries are painted white, and the aircraft of some countries are painted khaki... The aircraft of these countries rarely even use upper and lower two-color camouflage, because they are really afraid of accidental damage.
"Climb! Climb! Get rid of the enemy! Reform!" Based on their experience, the Qin pilots prepared to reform and stabilize their position.
It is a pity that their efforts failed, because some Qin pilots who had already bitten the Shu fighters were simply unwilling to give up the opportunity, and those Qin planes that were being chased could not get rid of the enemies behind them.
“It’s messed up! Damn it!” the Qin fighter pilot complained while looking at the enemy planes that flickered in and out of sight through the rearview mirror.
He shook his control stick to make the dangerous enemy plane disappear from his rearview mirror, and before he could rejoice for two seconds, the **** enemy plane returned to his rearview mirror.
“Swish, swish!” Several rounds of 12.7mm aviation machine gun tracer bullets flew past the Qin pilot’s cockpit, almost injuring his wing.
The Qin pilot, who was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, began to dive again, trying to speed up and turn to save himself from the disadvantage.
Italy’s C200 fighter has very good maneuverability and sufficient speed. It was considered a good fighter in World War II.
The only flaw of this aircraft is that it only has two 12.7 mm caliber machine guns. In the increasingly cruel battlefield, the power is really not enough.
Faced with those extremely sturdy Allied bombers, two small water pipes were really useless, not even worthy of scratching an itch.
But in the current Qin-Shu battlefield, it is facing some light aircraft, and the advantage of the two machine guns with a large ammunition load is reflected.
Shu pilots have little experience and cannot guarantee a one-hit kill like the pilots of the Tang Empire, so multiple attack opportunities are obviously more suitable for them.
The Shu pilot who was biting at the back adjusted his position again after a burst of fire failed to achieve any results, and then pulled the trigger of firing again.
The Qin pilot saw a row of tracer bullets flying past, which was farther away from his plane than last time, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly changed his direction again, forcing the Shu pilots following him to adjust their attack angle again.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, a Qin pilot was chasing a Shu fighter jet. He was also trying to bite his opponent, but the opponent was also avoiding it using tricks familiar to Qin pilots.
The two of them spent a lot of time in the sky. Qin's pilot saw that the number on his fuel gauge was almost bottoming out.
