Chapter 1205 Epoch-making Tactics 1
For German warships with better underwater defenses, a small number of torpedo hits were not fatal. (But it is much greater than the damage caused by a shell hit. Even if the British switch to a new hard-cap armor-piercing projectile, it will be difficult to cause fatal damage to the German warship structure with a high angle of inclination and an off-capping layer.) However, for the British As far as humans are concerned, their underwater defense layout is too poor, with only one empty warehouse and one liquid tank. And it lacks depth and subdivided compartment system. Being bold and thunderous is no joke!
Moreover, if a warship wants to change its artillery defense, the cost and time required are relatively low. Generally speaking, it is enough to increase the thickness of the dome armor, but if you want to improve the level of underwater protection, the cost and price will be higher. After all, the width of the lower part of the hull is only so large, and the depth of the underwater TDS will be determined after the ship is built. It’s decided. If you don’t want to increase the intensity of underwater defense, you can just arrange an underwater mine protection protrusion! But what can I say about this thing? It affects the shape of the ship too much, and the modification is too time-consuming. Even if the hull is finished, the speed of the ship will definitely decrease. And for the beginning and the end, no matter how you improve the effect, the effect will be limited. The so-called increase of lightning protection protrusions is generally for the middle part of the hull!
Of course, if you insist on improving the level of lightning protection at the front and rear, there is a way in theory. For example, in order to prevent water from entering, you can fill the empty warehouse with foam cement. If it is more advanced, you can fill it with foam rubber (2nd battle technology.) But no matter Well, these are only good in theory. In practice, it depends on the situation. After all, there are structural strength problems in the mine protection protrusion. For example, the historical Italian battleship Cavour was equipped with an underwater defense system and faced the sword. The fish's aerial torpedo effect is also not as good as expected.
Although the current 400KG level aviation torpedo warhead is very small, only about 90KG, with the advent of the second generation aviation torpedo and the replacement of torpedo aircraft with new engines, the charge capacity of the new generation 580KG level aviation torpedo can be Reach 120KG to 140KG! At this level, it is quite deadly to the British battleships! You know, the mine that killed the Bold in history was only loaded with 150KG of cotton gunpowder!
Facing the attack of naval guns, the modified British fleet is difficult to kill instantly. Even when the situation is unfavorable, and under the premise of having auxiliary battleships to cover it, the British can only hit two more shells from the battleship, which penetrate the hull. Make a hole, set a fire, and maybe get some water in. But torpedoes are different. For British battleships with fragile underwater protection, a well-placed torpedo may be fatal! Especially when fighting against the German fleet, when the battleship itself has been injured and is in poor condition, the torpedo hit at this time is simply equivalent to the hill hammer plus griffin salvo after the blood magic void in WAR3!
For such an efficient attack method, the prince naturally cannot waste it. Scheer's approach of using aerial lightning strikes as a means of harassment will definitely not pass. In the prince's opinion, the best situation for the two sides to fight in the future is before the main fleet comes into contact. The German naval aviation first consumed the British aviation power. Then after the fleet came into contact, when the battle went on for a period of time and some looseness appeared in the entire British battle line, the aviation force responded to these loose nodes.
Or a key unit launches an aviation attack! It is certain that the battleship detachment needs to pay some price, but as long as the reward is worthy of the payment, it will be fine!
"If the British warship improvements are as successful as the data says, after the two sides fight, it will be difficult for us to cause too much damage to the other party in a short period of time." Scheer said.
Unless the warships of both sides are very close and can project a large amount of firepower to paralyze the opponent in a short period of time, or the attack firepower is much stronger than the defense and can cause a lot of damage instantly by pointing the ammunition depot, etc., otherwise, the battleship is far away Under such circumstances, the duration of the artillery battle will be longer. Longer range limits hits. And because battleships are larger in size, they are less afraid of deck washing...
"The problem is not big. For aviation lightning strikes, the biggest interference is nothing more than two points. The first is the British aircraft, and the other is the possible anti-aircraft artillery. Even if we cannot effectively destroy the warships, we can use naval guns to effectively destroy them. The anti-aircraft firepower of the opponent's ship is enough!" the prince said.
"Okay, everyone will organize your opinions into materials and submit them. I need to summarize them, discard the rough and save the essence. Then put forward several feasible plans. Then verify them through war games and exercises." In the end, the prince decided to suspend this nonsense. To end the debate, he needed information from Scheer and others, but due to vision issues, these could only be used as reference. It’s up to the prince himself to truly perfect this plan!
In the future, if the two sides really get into a fight, it will be impossible for all the warships to escape intact! We must not feel sorry for the battleship at this time. If we can't even bear some losses, how can we talk about rising? Sometimes having the courage to make sacrifices is also a necessary condition for the rise of a great country. After all, what you need to face is an empire that is already at the top of the world. If you don’t have the courage to fight, you will fantasize about using extremely low costs or so-called machinations. Can he abdicate? That is simply impossible!
The prince was already prepared to suffer certain losses with pre-dreadnoughts, dreadnoughts, and even Helgeland-class battleships and battlecruiser detachments. He used these losses in exchange for the other party's exposure of their weaknesses and their The consumption of anti-air power means that the opponent's formation is fixed, and there is no chance to adjust the formation. Then at the most critical moment, use a torpedo machine to strike a certain node! At the same time, the bombers interfere with the opponent's formation and hinder the opponent's attack! And eventually led to the collapse of the battle line! Adhering to this principle, the prince put forward the following requirements for the future combat system of the High Seas Fleet!
First of all, before the fleets of both sides come into contact, the German High Seas Fleet should take advantage of its naval aviation advantages to discover the location of the British fleet through frequent sorties and reconnaissance, and at the same time attract the British fleet to release aircraft and its own fighter jets.
After having the aircraft carrier, the aviation power of the German High Seas Fleet directly surpassed the British, and far exceeded it! In this case, aviation attrition warfare became an attractive alternative. In order to ensure that attack aircraft carrying bombs and torpedoes could successfully throw these destructive weapons onto British battleships, battleships began to be used It is a very good deal to exchange the seaplanes on the aircraft carrier and the fighter jets on the aircraft carrier for the British aircraft!
