As a night fighter, the aircraft has sufficient power supply and space for radar equipment. Now, it is completely possible to plug it into the sea search radar.
Even in later generations, it is not easy to find enemy aircraft carrier formations in the vast sea. Not to mention that there are reconnaissance satellites. The scanning range of reconnaissance satellites is limited, and the sea is extremely vast. When the satellite flew again, the carrier formation had already moved hundreds of kilometers away.
Therefore, shipborne reconnaissance aircraft is very important, and in this era, the importance is even more self-evident.
The current German Navy has advanced FW190 fighter jets and HS129 attack aircraft. In the later stage, it will also board jets. Therefore, what is lacking now is the reconnaissance aircraft.
Relying on visual detection will be subject to various restrictions. Only the use of advanced electronic equipment to increase the pilot's eyes is the best solution.
"This kind of reconnaissance aircraft must continue to step up research and development. After the performance meets the Navy's requirements, each aircraft carrier must be equipped with two to four." Cyric looked at the antenna protruding from the aircraft's nose and expressed affirmation: "At the same time, we will also develop more advanced radars for use in our land-based long-range maritime patrol aircraft."
The deck of the aircraft carrier will not be very large. It can only take off and land light aircraft. Large patrol aircraft can only take off from land. For example, with Junker-290, it can be converted into a patrol aircraft against the sky. Such patrol aircraft, With a huge space, the radar equipment that can be loaded is even larger, and it may be able to meet the detection requirements of 100 kilometers.
Taking precautions, Cyric relied on the huge military knowledge of the later generations to achieve the advantage of prophecy in this era, while other countries have no such advantage.
For example, island nations and the U.S. Navy are now entering a naval and air war.
The Coral Sea is destined to go down in history.
As the dawn is approaching, both sides are making the final preparations before departure, and the other side is close to them. This battle will have a huge impact on their respective navies!
Ruihe aircraft carrier.
Captain Akira Sakamoto only slept for less than five hours. After returning last night, he followed a combat meeting until midnight. Now, he took a cold bath and felt much more awake. At this time, sitting in the dining room, In his hand, he held his favorite rice cake.
When eating, no one made a sound. Everyone knew that today is a battle to determine fate.
At this moment, the two parties did not know that the distance between each other was close to two hundred nautical miles. For the aircraft carrier, this distance is quite close. As long as they find it, they can fly there in an hour!
American pilots are eating their own breakfast on the aircraft carrier at this time. Unlike the islanders, they can eat their favorite chocolate.
Just as they were eating, the first batch of reconnaissance planes had already been sent out. In the light of the aircraft carrier, the reconnaissance planes whizzed off the deck and entered the darkness.
Time is passing by a little bit.
At 8:15, York City.
"General, we have received a report from a reconnaissance plane that the enemy's aircraft carrier task force is traveling southward at a speed of 25 nautical miles per hour on the sea about 175 miles northeast of me."
"Immediately release the attack aircraft, fast, fast!" Rear Admiral Fletcher shouted loudly: "Sail at full speed, headwind, let the carrier-based aircraft fly!"
The two US aircraft carriers accelerated their advance and let their carrier-based aircraft fly against the wind. Almost immediately when the first aircraft took off, the radio monitors on the aircraft carrier received radio signals from the island country.
"We were also discovered by the island nation." Fletcher followed up and received the news.
It is conceivable that an hour later, when one's own plane pounces on the enemy's carrier formation, there will also be an enemy's attack here!
Such a battle suddenly made people feel a little expectant.
Two U.S. aircraft carriers took off 15 fighters, 46 bombers and 21 torpedo planes, a total of 82 planes attacked the island fleet. At the same time, the island carrier on the opposite side took off 103 aircraft and flew towards the US formation!
The sun, gradually rising from the east, illuminating the entire sea surface in red, seems to indicate that today's battle will definitely end in blood red!
Just after taking off its own carrier aircraft, the US aircraft carrier formation changed its course and continued to sail at the highest speed. At the same time, the search radar on the aircraft carrier was activated at full power to search the sky.
Each aircraft carrier is escorted by two heavy cruisers and destroyers, and every anti-aircraft gun is stuffed with shells, waiting for the arrival of the last moment.
"The enemy fleet was found, 70 kilometers away from us." Finally, the radar on the Yorktown found the target flying in the sky.
"Take off the fighter plane immediately!" Fletcher continued to give orders.
The previous naval battles ~www.novelhall.com~ were that the battleships of both sides were close to each other, lined up, pouring firepower towards the other side, and it was extremely spectacular. You can see that the other side's warship was hit by yourself, the fire ignited, and it sank. Look like.
However, this naval battle has overturned the previous naval battle style. The naval fleets of the two sides cannot see each other at all, relying on their own carrier aircraft to attack and defend!
After getting the order to attack, the carrier-based aircraft on the two aircraft carriers were immediately towed to the take-off position, one by one quickly lifted off.
Captain Edward-H-O'Hair, sitting in his Wildcat fighter jet. This fighter jet that has only been in service for 40 years is the latest model of the US Navy. The 1200-horsepower engine makes a huge roar. It looks a bit The stubby plane rolled on the deck, left the deck, and quickly climbed up.
In this era, the myth of zero warfare and invincibility has not been broken for the time being, but the pilots of the US Navy carrier-based aircraft will never be afraid of danger. They must protect their aircraft carriers!
As they climbed to a height of three kilometers, they could already see the opponent's attack formation. The huge fleet was several times as many as their interceptors!
Seeing the American interceptor fighters, the Zero fighters quickly left their positions and rushed towards the American planes. They wanted to entangle the American fighters so that their bombers had enough opportunities!
Lieutenant Akira Sakamoto's eyes flashed brightly. In the two attacks yesterday, he failed to catch the target, but today, the Americans absolutely can't escape!
"Attention, make a tentative attack first! A small team, dive and attack the Yorktown!" Captain Akira Sakamoto shouted on the radio. He didn't dive down immediately. He had to wait for the opportunity to hit it! ()
