Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Oh, God!"

This wave of US military aircraft consists of more than 50 P-40 fighter jets and more than 50 B-25 bombers. The P-40 fighter pilots couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw that the number of German fighters on the opposite side was twice that of their own. It is obvious that the German fleet is not only accompanied by aircraft carriers, but also at least two. However, they cannot retreat. They must entangle these German fighter jets and cover their own bomber group to approach the German fleet and launch an attack.

Easier said than done.

It stands to reason that in most cases, land-based aircraft of the same level have advantages against carrier-based aircraft. Due to the problems of the use environment of carrier-based aircraft, for example, in order to meet the requirements of catapult take-off and arrested landing, the landing gear has been greatly strengthened. In order to meet the requirement of small space occupation, the wings of carrier-based aircraft need to be folded. In addition, In terms of corrosion resistance and other requirements, if a land-based fighter needs to be converted into a carrier-based aircraft, it often has to sacrifice hundreds of kilograms or even more than a ton in order to meet the various shipboard requirements. This type of carrier-based aircraft is very difficult to fight against prototype land-based aircraft. When using a basic fighter, the combat performance often falls behind due to the problem of dead weight.

Unfortunately, the land-based FW-190 almost crushes the P-40 fighter in all performances, while the FW-190T model uses a lot of chromium-nickel-manganese super-hard aluminum alloy, which reduces a lot of weight, and its combat performance is no better than that of the land-based FW-190. How much weaker is the base model.

"Kill these fighters first!" The German carrier-based aircraft ignored the slow bomber formations and attacked the US P-40 fleet.

Soon the two fleets were fighting each other.

Although the US military pilots fought bravely, the German FW-190T had an absolute advantage in performance and quantity; they may not be able to defeat it at 1:1, let alone 2:1 now.

"Boom-boom-boom!"

The FW-190T fighter jet is equipped with four 20mm cannons. A few rounds can knock a U.S. fighter jet into the air and explode. Under such terrible firepower, it is difficult for U.S. pilots to parachute to escape, and most of them will be shot and killed on the spot. After all, machine guns are much more powerful than aviation machine guns.

Of course, although the power of the cannon is great, it also has a big weakness, that is, the ammunition load of the cannon is very small. The FW-190T four cannons only have 150 rounds each; in air combat, , you must use it sparingly. If you finish shooting in one go, you can only return to the aircraft carrier to replenish ammunition.

"Damn it! Why are our fighter jets equipped with 7mm aviation machine guns? Why don't we install cannons?!" A US pilot couldn't help complaining as he watched his comrades being beaten and disintegrating in the air.

The US military P-40 fighter jet is equipped with six 7mm aviation machine guns. This kind of firepower is actually quite powerful, and the aviation machine gun can carry more bullets, so the durability of the firepower is undoubtedly much higher. It's just that compared to the four 20mm cannons of the German army, its power is much weaker.

In fact, it is not that the Americans have never tinkered with 20mm cannons.

Speaking of 20mm cannons, there is absolutely no way around the Oerlikon cannon.

The Japanese army in the original time and space introduced the Oerlikon FF, and then built the 99-1 aircraft gun based on it; Germany also purchased the production license of the Oerlikon FF, and then produced the MG-FF; France introduced the Oerlikon FFS , but there were differences on the patent issue, and the Hispano cannon (HS404) was developed under multiple references; the British introduced the HS404, developed the Hispano MK1, and then installed a receiver on the MK1 and named it For MK2; the United States also introduced HS404, but the reliability was not good at the beginning. They built a batch based on the British MK2, but the reliability was very bad. It was so bad that the United States had 4 million rounds of 20mm shells in 1942, but none of them were usable. The United States only had a relatively usable 20mm cannon after 1944.

"Da da da!" The US military P-40 fighter jets also kept firing. But unfortunately, the maximum flight speed of the P-40 fighter is only 580 kilometers per hour, while the maximum flight speed of the German FW-190T can exceed 650 kilometers per hour; this makes it very difficult for US military fighters to catch up with German fighters. . At the same time, it is not conducive to them seizing a favorable air combat position, putting US fighter jets at a complete disadvantage.

Even if it occasionally hits the target, the German FW-190 is notoriously rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Without the firepower to sustain hits, the FW-190T can easily escape or even counterattack.

The number of U.S. fighter jets dropped sharply, from 2:1, to 3:1, and soon to 4:1. Each P-40 fighter was chased by four or five German fighter jets. Who could withstand this?

Soon, more than 50 U.S. P-40 fighter jets were wiped out. The German fighter jets turned around and chased the B-25 bombers that had not flown far.

"Oh God!" The B-25 bomber formation commander suddenly fell into a dilemma. Unexpectedly, the performance of the German carrier-based aircraft would be so powerful, completely crushing its own fighter jets. And these large and heavy bombers need speed but not speed, mobility but not maneuverability, and firepower...the firepower seems to be strong (four Browning 7mm machine guns are fixedly installed on both sides of the fuselage, and the two sides of the nose It is mounted on a movable base, with two turrets each on the back, tail and waist). However, no matter how much firepower is installed on the bomber, without fighter escort, it is just fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

"Boom!" A FW-190T fighter jet easily dodged the intensive firepower of the bomber group and fired a round of shells at a B-25 bomber, punching a row of bowl-sized holes in its body. I saw the bomber dragging a long plume of black smoke as it crashed into the sea, splashing high water columns.

"Oh God! What should we do?! If this continues, we will be killed by them!" Some US military pilots yelled in fear. Although they are all heroic pilots, they are also timid and scared when they see the friendly planes next to them being shot down one after another.

In just a split second, more than a dozen B-25 bombers were shot down. After all, these bombers had no maneuverability at all. They were just large targets moving at a constant speed. As long as they avoided their fire net, they could be shot down easily. Shoot them down.

Finally, the bomber commander gave the order. "Drop all the bombs and get out of here!"

The remaining B-25 bombers hurriedly dropped all their bombs, but even so, their flying speed could not exceed 450 kilometers per hour. It was simply impossible to escape the pursuit of the FW-190T.

"Their speed is too fast, we can't get rid of them at all!" A US military pilot shouted these words in despair. Not long after, a few shells broke the wings of his plane. The plane instantly lost its balance and fell toward the sea. The crew members had to parachute to escape. But this is a vast sea, more than 300 kilometers away from the U.S. coastline. Even if you skydive, your chances of survival are slim.
