Chapter 1863 is not easy to fight
Under normal circumstances, the seven Kent sisters and the four London sisters are definitely stronger than the three Richelieu sisters, because both in this world and in history, quantity is more important than quality. The four London sisters and the seven Kent sisters already have eleven warships. Although one-on-one is far inferior to the three Richelieu sisters, the things that can be done are far from what the three Richelieu sisters can do.
This is often reflected in history. In the absence of generation difference, quantity is much more important than quality. This is the experience gained in previous wars. The German Tiger Series Leopard Series tanks in World War II must be powerful, but these quality advantages are not enough in the face of absolute quantity. In fact, most Allied soldiers, especially the Allied soldiers on the Western Front, have never seen the famous Tiger Type tank, because in World War II, the total output of Tiger Series tanks was less than 2,000, which is really not a large number.
The most produced T34 medium tanks in the Allied Army were T34. The T34 was produced until the 1950s, with a total production of nearly 80,000, of which it was about 47,000 during World War II. The most produced Sherman tanks in the US were nearly 50,000. The main tanks in the German army were never Tiger-type Leopard-type but No. 4 tanks. The quality advantage in the face of absolute quantity is really useless, because facing the large number of Allied tanks, Sherman and T34 will suffer a great loss when encountering Tiger-type Leopard-type. However, because the production of Tiger-type Leopard-type is not very large, this makes the Sherman T34 often encounter No. 4 tanks or pure infantry, and infantry is quite helpless when encountering tanks.
The same is true for the maritime battlefield. Yamato-class battleships can be said to be the most powerful traditional battleship built. It is not enough to say that they are the most powerful battleships, because the Iowa-class battleships during the Gulf War can hammer the Yamato-class battleships. During the Gulf War, Iowa was still Iowa, and the battleships were not other types of ships, but Iowa was not as good as Yamato during World War II.
But what if Yamato is very powerful, there are only two Yamato-class battleships, not to mention four Iowa-class battleships, the US military also has two North Carolina-class battleships and four South Dakota-class battleships. The two types of six post-Trade-era battleships are the huge advantage in quantity that the kind of fleet that a certain island country wants to see is definitely not able to defeat the US Navy.
The same was true in Germany in World War II. When Bismarck first served, Britain had many embarrassments. The most important thing was that some of the people who could catch up with Bismarck could not beat Bismarck, and they could beat Bismarck and could not catch up with Bismarck's speed. But even so, Bismarck was useless. Tirpitz had never had a decent battle in Norway.
The same is true in this world. Quality advantages are often not so obvious. Facing absolute quantity advantages, the quality advantages are of no use. In other battles, the role played by the Seven Kent sisters and the Four London Sisters is definitely much bigger than that of the Three Richelieu Sisters. But this time it is not a normal battle. This time the combat power played by the Seven Kent sisters and the Four London Sisters is not as good as the Three Richelieu Sisters.
This is mainly determined by the particularity of this battle. Resource-type sea monsters are not ordinary monsters. Faced with this resource-type sea monster, there are very high requirements for the air defense capabilities of the battleship. The Kent Seven Sisters and the Four London Sisters have absolutely not weak air defense capabilities, but when facing this resource-type sea monster, the problem of insufficient air defense firepower is exposed, because the small-caliber air-defense artillery has no effect on the targets of this resource-type sea monster, which has deprived most of the air defense capabilities of the Seven Sisters and the Four London Sisters. This is also the reason why Lord Queen has always tried his best to oppose these two models of heavy cruisers participating in the battle.
After fighting for a while, I found that this would not work. The pressure on the fleet was getting bigger and bigger. The seven Kent sisters and the four London sisters had become the drag of the fleet. In this case, the fleet had to make compromises, and the five German sisters came on the stage.
The five German sisters had a great impact on the field. The main reason is that these five sisters are former dreadnoughts. The gap between the former dreadnoughts and the dreadnoughts is very large. This gap is in all-round generational differences. The five German sisters in the North Society are not as good as the border governor. You can see the problem. You should know that the border governor's problem is also very large. The main reason is that the border governor's history has sunk in Scapa Bay during the Rainbow Operation. Like the Royal Oak, the border governor has always been in Scapa Bay and has not been salvaged out of the water.
Because of historical experience, the border governor's problem is very big, especially the air defense issue. The five German sisters did not have this problem. The main reason is that many of these five sisters participated in World War II. Among them, the shelling of the Danze port by the Schleswig-Holstein was also a sign of the outbreak of World War II. Some of these five sisters have been in stock until the late stage of World War II, which makes the air defense capabilities of these five sisters quite good. At the beginning, they are stronger than the historical warship of the border governor, which has inherently major defects in air defense.
But even so, the status of these five sisters is still far inferior to that of the border governor. This is all-round inferior. It is useless to have strong air defense capabilities. However, in this case, only these five sisters can do it. Although it is not possible in all aspects, it is sister ships that can use fusion skills. This is how this battle is. Combination skills are more important than anything else, because only with fusion skills can there be enough reaction time. Whether it is to buy time for yourself or other warships, it is the same result.
The battle has been very difficult now. The problem of the three sisters of Richelieu seriously affected the subsequent battle, and the supplies of the three sisters of Veneto were affected. The three sisters of Veneto had to shorten the supply time as much as possible. In order to support the fleet in front, Mrs. Lex also started her own operation. The main task of the aircraft carrier fleet in the previous aircraft carrier fleet was to assist in air defense and control the monster range. Now Mrs. Lex still attacked the sea monster itself to distract the attention of the sea monster to relieve the pressure on the SSS-class historical battleship fleet. If this continues, it will definitely not work. It will happen. Mrs. Lex is quite anxious.
