Chapter 1328 The Reborn Air Force 1

From the end of the last battle to the beginning of the Polish Pocket Battle, the Bavarian Army and the entire Eastern Front Army did not launch a large-scale offensive for up to 4 months. They were recuperating and receiving training and equipping with new weapons. This period of time was enough for the Bavarian Army, which was not at all depleted, to return to its best condition and make great progress in scale and quality.

This is true for the Army, and even more so for the Air Force! After all, the Army suffered a certain degree of losses in the Western Front campaign, while the Air Force was in much better shape than the Army. At the beginning of the thin line, the British and French air forces were still weak, but when productivity increased and new technologies began When it was widely used and all kinds of monsters appeared, the Bavarian Air Force had been transferred to the Eastern Front. And the Russian Air Force, you know…. Except for the Ilya bomber that once caused some minor trouble to the prince's eagles, the rest of the process can be described as Tyson beating a primary school student...

If this land battle can be called a test for the German army on the Eastern Front, then for the current Air Force, there is no difference between suppressing the remaining Russian air force and holding an armed parade, so the Air Force decided to do something more meaningful ——Try some new tactics and get familiar with the new weapons in your hands.

During a battle, it is normal for each other's equipment to fall into the hands of the opponent and be cracked and studied. In the continuous battles, the German army also received gifts from its opponents and learned experience and technology from them. For example, the new Victory V12 engine equipped by the British. The initial version of this engine had an output of up to 375 horsepower. This power has almost crushed the records of aircraft engines in all countries except the United Kingdom in history. Although such performance In the UK, it can only be considered second-rate.

However, after obtaining no less than 8 or more complete engines (removed from downed British bombers and fighter jets.), plus the seemingly unbelievable equipment such as intercoolers and carburetors Later, the new DB203 engine produced by Bayern Airlines and Daimler-Benz successfully increased the power to about 425 horsepower.

Although purely in terms of power, there is still a certain distance from the final 500-horsepower version used by the V1500 in history, but that is not because the technology is not up to standard, but because the weight is relatively small. After all, Bavaria wants a car that can be installed at the same time. Engines on fighter jets and bombers to increase production capacity and logistics capabilities. If it is to be used on a fighter jet, wind resistance must be considered. The front is not easy to be too large, and the power-to-weight ratio requirements are relatively high. And because of the supercharger, the operating height of the aircraft has been greatly improved. Stable British aircraft for high altitude performance.

It is precisely because of the rest period on the Eastern Front in winter that the Bavarian Air Force has sufficient time and ability to fully digest the fruits of its own technology and transform it into real productivity. J-, who made great contributions to the German Empire in last year's war, The Type 1 fighter is on the verge of being discontinued. (At least in Bavaria.) Because the body is too small to accommodate larger engines and more weapons.

The Air Force is currently replacing the J-3 Falcon fighter jet, which is equipped with a DB203A engine with a power of 400 horsepower. It is still a biplane, with a length of 7.2 meters and a height of 2.65 meters. The wings extend 9.2 meters. The maximum flight speed exceeds 220 kilometers per hour. The maximum service ceiling is increased to 6500 meters.

In order to deal with the increasing number of British bombers, this aircraft re-optimized its weapon system. A 20MM cannon passed through the center of the engine shaft. The structure of the new 20MM cannon is similar to the historical Oerlikon FF cannon, but it uses 20MM*99MM shells. The rate of fire is about 250 to 300 rounds per minute. According to the Air Force's test of this artillery, in terms of killing effect, a 20mm gun can at least withstand 3 to 4 12.7MM machine guns. (The relationship between the firepower of a 20mm machine gun and a 50mm machine gun in World War 2 is almost the same. Don’t believe the rumor that a 20mm machine gun is equal to 1.5 machine guns. That is nonsense. Don’t think that Americans will not be brainless.)

At the same time, it is also equipped with two 12.7MM machine guns or 7.92MM machine guns as secondary weapons on the sides of the wings. Due to the improvement of engine performance, this J-3 aircraft can also take on certain ground attack missions. While ensuring the range, it can carry bombs or other weapons of no more than 200KG to carry out bombing and ground suppression. For example, carrying a cannon pod. In the middle and late stages of the war, there were combat records of J-3 fighter jets carrying 20MM machine gun pods or 12.7MM machine gun pods repeatedly strafing ground targets within a range for a long time. According to the response of ground troops, a large number of machine gun fires on the ground are very good for suppressing lightly armored targets. And because of the increase in firepower, these J-3 aircraft themselves have the ability to deal with medium and large bombers.

With the emergence of 20MM machine guns, another beneficiary is the original Tracers. They have more powerful weapons. The four 12.7MM machine guns on the nose were removed and replaced with three 20MM machine guns after being lengthened. Machine cannon. After replacing the engine, this new K-4M interceptor called the long-nosed Tracer directly changed its waist and turned into a real giant killer! Of course, in the later stages, he also served as both an infantry killer and a car terminator. Carrying bombs and machine guns to attack the ground. Known as bullet sprayers and fast bomb trucks from the sky by Allied logisticians.

Of course, whether it is the J-3 fighter or the improved K-4M bomber, they are absolutely nothing compared to the truly brand-new bomber K-6 bomber. The latest improvement of this aircraft is better than the British FB27. Bombers are larger.

The body length is 15 meters, the wings are spread 20.5 meters, the aircraft height is 5 meters, the empty weight is 3800 kilograms, the maximum take-off weight is 6500 kilograms, and the maximum bomb load reaches 1400KG. The pylon located in the middle of the belly can carry a 750KG torpedo or bomb. If it is an improved special model, it can carry a 1000KG bomb.

The aircraft has a total of 6 crew members, a total of 3 machine gun towers, and is equipped with 6 large-caliber machine guns. One at the nose, a machine gun turret toward the rear, and a machine gun turret in the belly. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the pilot, some armor was also installed on the aircraft. Although it does not require an armor box like the later B17, it does guarantee the pilot's survival rate. After all, the British currently do not have large-caliber machine guns, let alone the terrifying 20MM machine guns. The British still use 7.7MM machine guns. There is no sign of a massive increase in firepower.
