Chapter 1640 Easy performance
There are also different ideas on aviation weapons.
When air-to-air missiles are not yet mature, automatic fire weapons are the main equipment. Then, there are different options, which can be small-caliber machine guns. Its characteristic is that they have abundant bullets and can be used almost unlimitedly, and they are often equipped with thousands of bullets.
However, it has a bigger disadvantage, which is that it is not powerful enough. Whether it is 7.92 or 12.7 mm, this kind of bullet is okay to deal with the human body, but it is not easy to deal with the aircraft.
Although the aircraft is not as resistant to beating as a tank, it still flew back after piercing hundreds of bullet holes. In the past, it was still a wooden aircraft, and the overall mechanical strength was poor. By the time of aluminum alloy, the mechanical strength of the aircraft increased greatly, leaving only the only way to blow up a fuel tank. However, after the fuel tank was self-released, it was impossible for the fuel tank to be hit.
In this way, more dense bullets are needed. Four machine guns are not enough, so eight are added. The bullets are covered by rain, and the amount is accumulated into more, and ants can even bite the elephant to death.
And the air cannon is exactly the opposite.
The air cannon has a large caliber and a large weight, so it will not carry much. For example, the current 20mm cannon has only 200 rounds of ammunition. If the pilot is a novice and panics in the air battle and holds it down, he will not even be able to hit it for a minute and then all of them will go out.
Experienced shooters all have short shots, hitting up to five shots at a time.
The amount of ammunition reserve is its disadvantage, but its power is definitely its advantage. As long as you hit it, it will be a big hole.
Therefore, when choosing weapons for jets, German technicians and aviation departments conducted a spring-high sword competition. After many comparisons, they finally decided to eliminate machine guns and use aviation guns.
The machine gun was out of date and swept the other party into a hornet's nest. As a result, the other party was fine and patted his butt and left. This was a great disappointment to the pilot. It must have enough power!
Considering the combination of weight and ammunition, a 20mm cannon is the most suitable choice.
A major advantage of jets is that they cancel the propeller on the nose, so large-caliber cannons can be arranged directly on the nose, and two more doors can be arranged on the wing root of the wing.
Three cannons intersect at about 500 meters in front, so 500 meters is its best range.
Now, just at a five hundred meters, Walter opened fire.
As a fire light emerged from the muzzle of the three-way cannon, the powerful 20mm shell flew forward. It flew at a speed of 800 meters per second, and after half a second, it accurately hit the Mustang fighter.
"Boom!" The first shell hit the wing on the right and instantly exploded a large hole with a diameter of half a meter. Then, the second shell and the third shell all flew over.
"Boom, boom!" When three shells flew over, the entire wing on the right broke from the wing base. The Mustang fighter did not react at all and rolled down and fell down.
In this case, the pilot had no way to jump.
The remaining shells flew past the edge of the plane and drew graceful arcs in the air. This first attack was extremely accurate, with a delicate beauty and murderous aura.
The entire shooting process was only a few seconds.
At this time, Renn had just finished shouting in the radio and saw this terrifying and fierce attack. The attack process of this terrifying fighter plane was so cool and arrogant.
As an opponent, I have to admire it.
Just after the attack of this plane was completed, it ended its dive at an incredible angle, turned sideways and climbed, and turned around and flew upwards!
A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the tricks.
Just looking at this glance, Renn knew that the Mustang fighter that condensed the crystallization of wisdom from all over the United States was simply not worth mentioning in front of such aircraft. The power of this aircraft has exceeded their cognition!
At this time, he could see two hot flames emerging from the tail of the machine while climbing, stimulating his retina. Although there was no information, he could guess that it should be the other party's engine.
This is simply alien technology!
It was immediately changed to the attack. This is a tactic often used by German fighters. It did not fight with the opponent on the horizontal plane at all. It was like a dragonfly slashing the water, and it was lifted up after diving.
For German pilots, fight as long as you want, and leave as you want!
This is the case now.
After raising his hand and knocking off a Mustang fighter easily like chopping melons and vegetables, Walter did not continue to fight, but chose to climb and escape directly.
He had no chance to continue fighting because he was very fast.
If he wants to continue attacking, he has to slow down his speed and fight with the opponent horizontally. This is not suitable for him.
In fact, for all fighter jets, propeller aircraft have the advantage of maneuvering in the horizontal direction, while jet aircraft lies in high altitude and high speed. This is like the comparison between biplane and monoplane. However, advanced monoplane will always replace biplane, and jets will also replace propeller aircraft.
This is just the first time an easy show.
Relying on the continuous surge of thrust provided by the two engines with a thrust-weight ratio of 3 at the tail, the body became lighter due to the continuous combustion of fuel, bringing a terrible thrust-weight ratio of the entire aircraft. In front of the Mustang fighter, it turned around gorgeously, leaving a marvelous look.
For Walter, this was the first result, and at the same time, when he left, his wingman had just swooped down!
Walter attracted the attention of the pilot behind him. Rennes didn't know that his bad luck also came, and it was only five seconds before the first unlucky guy.
Although the alarm was issued by Rennes, he did not dodge immediately and was completely shocked by the other party.
By the time he wanted to hide, there was no chance.
Carl Snor was driving his own fighter plane. After Walter climbed, he was just diving. The one he was aiming at was Rennes!
The target inside the aiming ring is getting bigger and bigger, and the distance is constantly approaching, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, four hundred meters...
"Antelope, open fire!" Walter's shout came from the radio. During the overload of climbing, Walter saw his wingman so close and immediately gave a reminder.
"I understand!" At this time, the distance had reached three hundred meters, and Carl pressed the cannon button.
"Bangbangbang!" Three guns were fired at once, and the shells roared and smashed into the Mustang fighter plane in an instant.
Chapter completed!
