Chapter 2529 Marcel and the Jet Plane 3

So, now the question is, if the Germans develop a jet fighter, even a mysterious-level fighter can definitely form an overwhelming tactical advantage over the American fighter group! After all, it is impossible for the Americans to directly build the F86. They do not have time-travelers, and what is more, whether it is the F80, F84, or F86, their range is not enough to cover the strategic bomber force departing from the UK, even with auxiliary fuel tanks. No, the reason is very simple. Even if your theoretical voyage reaches Berlin or even Munich, so what? How big is the area of ​​Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire now? Isn’t it enough to move the future heavy industry base to the east?

As for dealing with aircraft like P51D or H? how to say? After all, the Mystique is pretty good among the first-generation jet fighters. In addition to its range, it is quite sufficient to fight the P51 tactically.

Well, in terms of fighter quality, if the P51, which is responsible for long-range escort, cannot suppress new jet aircraft, then for German fighters, they still need to face British and American bombers! The Americans' thick-skinned B29 bombers and the dense hedgehog-like self-defense firepower on them are still very powerful, but the German fighter jets need to have as fierce firepower as possible!

Okay, so what is the firepower of the MiG-15 aircraft? Looking at the paper data, two 23MM NR23 cannons and one 37MM NR37 cannon look good, especially the latter, which uses 37MM*155MM shells and weighs up to 735 grams. Are these powerful firepowers?

But look at the ammunition load of the MiG-15. The two 23MM cannons only have 80 rounds each, while the 37MM cannon only has 40 rounds... And although the weight of the 37MM machine gun is only 103 kilograms, which seems good, the muzzle velocity is only 690 meters per second... The rate of fire is 400 rounds per minute. The trajectory of this artillery shell can be imagined... It has stronger ballistics than the German MK108 jelly bean launcher. After all, the latter's muzzle velocity is worse, but its rate of fire is high, more than 650 rounds per minute. Therefore, for this kind of weapon, it is really only for veterans. weapons! Moreover, the ammunition reserve of the 23MM machine gun is also very poor.

Okay, so what about the weapons of the mysterious fighter? Its normal weapon mix is ​​quite satisfactory, including four British Hispano HS404 20MM cannons, but each cannon has 125 rounds of ammunition, and the rate of fire is very fast, 600 to 700 rounds per minute, and the muzzle velocity of the ammunition is at Between 840 meters and 880 meters per second. Although this weapon is not as lethal as the BT of the NS37, it has a fast rate of fire and abundant ammunition reserves. From the perspective of use effect, it is definitely better than the MiG-15's one 37 gun and two 23MM guns. Machine guns are better.

Well, maybe someone has said that since the MiG-15 is not good, wouldn’t it be enough to just replace the weapon? Wouldn't it be enough to replace it with the Hispano HS404 artillery similar to the mysterious one? It’s also a 4-door! Well, if you want to replace it, you can do it, but it must be explained that in World War II, when Germany faced the strategic bombing by the United States and Britain, it could not just rely on four 20MM machine guns or one 37 cannon and two 23 cannons. ,

In actual combat, a large number of additional external weapons are needed!

For example, taking the external plug-in of the F190A8 as an example, this aircraft has three types of cannon pods, one is equipped with two MG151 cannons, the other is equipped with the MK108 cannon, and One is a pod equipped with an MK103 cannon. And these pods are very heavy! Requires very strong load.

So, now comes the problem. When it comes to load, the MiG-15 is a tragedy. To put it bluntly, the MiG-15 is a pure air combat aircraft. Its high performance is largely due to weight restrictions, such as Talking about the MiG-15bis, the empty weight is only 3681 kilograms, and the maximum take-off weight is only 6100 kilograms. Its largest external storage tank is the two auxiliary fuel tanks, which are directly up to the sky.

The MiG-15's idea of ​​reducing weight in exchange for air combat advantages is inherited from the propeller era, and the same is true for aircraft such as the La-7. For example, the empty weight of the La-7 fighter jet is only a little over 2,600 kilograms, while the weight of the F190A8 is as high as 3,200 kilograms. So are the Germans designing garbage? Of course it’s impossible! In terms of firepower, the F190A8 has 4 guns and 2 guns! The four MG151 machine guns alone have a total of 780 rounds of shells! The La7 has either two machine guns with a total of 400 shells, or three 20MM machine guns with 100 shells each... This firepower is just two levels behind!

The lack of weight puts the aircraft at a disadvantage in terms of load and protection. The maximum external load of the improved F190A is 1.8 tons. Even if the normal A-type hangs two 300L auxiliary fuel tanks and one 500KG bomb, it will be fine. The LA7 can Bring a 500KG bomb? Obviously impossible! Moreover, the internal oil content of the F190A is not high, and the internal oil content of the LA7 is even lower. Therefore, after careful comparison, it can be found that the data on paper actually looks good, but in actual combat it is not the case at all!

In terms of air combat, the LA7 is on the same level as the F190A. It has about the same speed, has an advantage in climbing, has a disadvantage in firepower, and has a disadvantage in range. As for the ground? Does LA7 have ground attack capabilities? This is the price of weight. Unless there is a particularly stupid design, the increase in aircraft weight is justified. This is just like the normal combat weight of the F190A8 is 4300KG, which is nearly 500KG higher than the F190A5. Although the performance on paper has been reduced, the overall combat effectiveness has been improved! Otherwise, the Germans are researching the A8 because they have brain problems!

In the same way, the P51B evolved into the P51D. The P51B started with only four 12.7MM machine guns. The firepower was too weak and the fuel capacity was relatively small, which did not meet the needs. So when the P51D was designed, the fuel capacity and weapons were increased, and the structural strength was strengthened. The flight performance of the P51D was actually not as good as the P51B, but with a better field of view, a larger range, and stronger weapons, the P51D Its actual combat comprehensive capability is higher than that of P51B. These are actually trade-offs between paper performance and actual combat.

Then it can be understood if we extend this question. The MiG-15 is just a fighter jet, while the F86 and Mysterious both have certain ground attack capabilities and strong plug-in capabilities. The F86 can be said to be better than the MiG-15. The mysterious air combat should not be as good as the MiG-15, but the load capacity is much stronger than the MiG-15.

Then maybe someone said, what I just talked about was obviously the interception of bombers, why do we have to discuss the load? This is why you don’t understand, right? According to the experience of the German Air Force in World War II, the normal weapon configuration of all single-engine fighters is very laborious when facing the rough-skinned and thick-skinned B17. Under normal configuration, the F190A has almost the most powerful firepower, 4 The door is equipped with an MG151 machine gun equipped with thin-shell bullets and two MG15 machine guns! And the ammunition reserve is sufficient. Except for the Storm fighter's four 20MM Hispano cannons and 800 rounds of ammunition reserve, no fighter can say that it beats the F190 in terms of firepower!
