Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 273 Strait Air Battle (1)
If possible, Dowding really didn't want to send out precious air forces to die in vain.
Although insufficient performance can be made up by quantity (not across generations), insufficient quantity can be made up by performance; but now the German fighter jets have advantages in both quantity and performance.
But under the current situation, he can only use 180 fighter jets to silence Churchill and keep his official position; otherwise, if someone who only knows how to flatter others is replaced as the commander of the fighter aviation force, the fighter aviation force may be completely destroyed. .
But he also took the opportunity to make a request. "Your Excellency Prime Minister, our fighter jets are now far inferior to German fighter jets in performance and need to be improved and upgraded as soon as possible."
Of course Churchill was no fool and nodded. "Okay, I will allocate a sum of money as soon as possible." After all, he also knew that the performance of British fighter jets was not as good as that of the Germans. If they did not improve as soon as possible, they might suffer big losses in the future.
As Dowding issued the order, a huge fighter formation consisting of five squadrons of Spitfires (60 aircraft) and ten squadrons of Hurricanes (120 aircraft) flew over the city. Many citizens waved to the sky and cheered. People noticed that a middle-aged man stopped, scanned the sky with sharp eyes, turned around and walked quickly in the direction he came from.
Soon, invisible radio waves spread from all over the UK to distant places.
The German radar has not yet found the target, and the Air Force Command Center has received news that the British have taken off fighter jets, at least 150 of them!
In less than a minute, shrill battle sirens sounded from various air force temporary airports on the front line.
The German fighter pilots ran out of the watch room screaming and rushed towards their fighters.
These days, British and French fighter jets don't dare to take to the air to fight. There is no decent air battle, but they are stifled.
Because of Yannick, the German fighter pilots at this time knew the performance of the British fighter jets very well. It is as detailed as the turning radius, climb speed, top speed, dive speed, weapon firepower, number of bombs loaded, and how many screws are used in the entire aircraft. I am afraid that the flight manuals issued by the British do not have such detailed instructions.
Not only that, Germany's secret factory even built a batch of "hurricanes" and "spitfires" exactly like those made in Britain for fighter pilots to experience first-hand.
If you want to shoot down the British in this way, you can only blame your own bad luck.
Soon, BF-109Fs rushed into the sky, formed a huge formation, and flew into the distance.
But it wasn't just the BF-109F fighter jets that took off.
"Oh my god, that guy flew too high, didn't he?"
In the sky at an altitude of 11,000 meters, two fighter jets with slender wings, streamlined fuselages, and eye-catching auxiliary air intakes were flying smoothly. The pilot of the fighter jet with the number 001 painted on the fuselage looked up. A four-engine transport plane more than a thousand meters above their heads sighed. What is different from other transport aircraft is that there are several thick antennas protruding from the bottom of its belly pointing diagonally downward.
"There's no need for us to escort it when it's flying so high. What aircraft can rise to its height and threaten it?"
When the flight altitude gradually increases, the density of the air will decrease with the increase of altitude, thus affecting the air intake of the engine; the air intake entering the engine decreases, and its thrust will generally decrease. When it reaches a certain altitude, due to insufficient thrust, it has no ability to climb and can only maintain level flight. This altitude is the aircraft's ceiling.
For this reason, the combat altitude of fighter jets from various countries at this time is around 6,000 to 8,000 meters, and 10,000 meters is almost the limit. The current Spitfire is not a later improved version, and it is difficult to climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters for combat.
The pilot on another fighter plane numbered 002 smiled. "Isn't this the mission of our Guards Unit affecting communications between them. "It seems that the big guy has started?"
Not only them, but also the earphones of the hundreds of fighter pilots fighting in the melee below also heard harsh interference sounds. It was just that the sound in the German pilot's earphones was very slight and did not affect their communication. The British pilots were in dire straits. The sudden electronic buzzing noise disrupted their concentration. Several pilots were frightened by the noise and were taken advantage of by the German pilots before they could react. .
"Call the wingman, did the wingman hear you?! Julian, Frank, did you hear it? Please answer, Julian, Frank?!" Joseph shouted several times into the communicator, but there was still a continuous sound in the earphones. There was a buzzing sound, and he couldn't contact his two wingmen at all. In desperation, he could only take off the annoying headphones and concentrate on dealing with the enemy planes.
British pilots still use a compact three-plane herringbone formation. Although this formation looks good, it limits the pilot's field of vision and mobility. It is not easy to fly close together carefully. The pilots always focus on avoiding each other. Blocking the road, enemy planes rushed over and there was not enough room to dodge. When German pilots intervened in the Spanish Civil War, they had developed a set of two-plane and four-plane formation tactics. The distance was large, so they did not have to worry about running into teammates, and they could still cooperate flexibly with each other. They can cover each other and cooperate in combat, the wingman can cover the lead aircraft, and the lead aircraft can concentrate on launching an attack, or the wingmen can attack and defend each other. In short, the formation is safer and more efficient than a single aircraft. Even in the era of fifth-generation fighters, dual-plane combat is still the most basic air combat tactic.
Coupled with the electronic interference from the German army at this moment, the British Air Force had no way to cooperate in the battle. It completely lost its formation and became a lonely battle.
In the sky, fighter planes from both sides were entangled and rolling together in a melee, with harsh sounds and speeding fighter planes circling together. Dazzling fireballs and white smoke kept flashing.
During the fierce chase, a British fighter plane kept changing its flight attitude in an attempt to avoid the bullets of the German fighter planes. Unfortunately, it escaped the enemy but not its own people. In the end, it crashed into another friendly aircraft in a panic. The two fighters instantly turned into fireballs, and the debris of the aircraft flying in the sky fell into the vast sea.
"Haha, that idiot." Two fighter jets in the sky happened to see this scene, and No. 001 couldn't help but mock. "The British are no match for us at all. Either they are too good or we are too good."
No. 002 shook his head in confusion. "Something's wrong. I've seen the loss ratio of the last air battle. Although the British's losses were much higher than ours, they were not so crushed. These British pilots don't look like experienced veterans. "He has seen several British pilots shot down because they made very naive mistakes. Even pilots with a little combat experience would not make such stupid mistakes.
"Oh? Is it possible that all the veterans of the British Air Force are dead and can only send out novices?"
