Chapter 16 Dog Fighting Cultivator
This fierce aerial combat involving cannons and machine guns at relatively close range is known as "dog fighting" in the history of aviation.
The fierce wind created a sharp low whistling sound on the edge of the new anti-collision plywood helmets equipped by the Allied Western Front pilots.
These helmets and parachutes are all new products of his company, which makes Mike Long feel even more secure. Of course, these products represent money, and at the same time, they make him very happy.
"Remember, you must maintain your airspeed and altitude...and be good at luring enemy planes!"
(This book was first published at 17k) Bu Xiao Sheng A Group: 35761481 This is the summary that Tang Yunyang made after observing the tactics of those "evil birds" in the "cyber air combat". They will always make some clumsy movements first, or do a few
This unreasonable attack can cause the opponent to misunderstand. When the opponent makes a careless pursuit, you will find that you will often fall into a death trap.
These are unique situations in "cyber air combat". If you lose, you will end up on the other end of the network, helplessly watching your plane crash. But on the battlefield of World War I, it was completely different!
"Damn it, why should I listen to him...my God...!"
While Mike Long was cursing loudly, he maneuvered his plane into continuous short-distance jumps, supplemented by sideslips or constant rolls to avoid the machine gun bullets that passed over both sides of the plane.
What he was conducting now was a seduction operation, and his performance went a little too far to make him fall into a real threat.
Two German planes were following him. The German pilots' eyes were fixed on the Newburgh 11 plane ahead through the crosshairs of the sight, and they were convinced that they could shoot down another enemy on their own plane.
Machine logo.
Compared with the 9-cylinder engine of the Newburgh 11, the speed and maneuverability of the two aircraft were slightly behind the Fokker.
The Newburgh 11 was swerving left and right as it fled for its life. The two German pilots were quite convinced that the guy opposite was a rookie in Lafitte's squad.
As the distance gets closer, the sights of the Newburgh 11 on the two Fokker E's become larger and clearer. Looking through the sighting cross of the Fokker E, one can almost see clearly the
Wearing a ridiculous helmet, the furious face of the pilot of Lafitte Squadron.
As the distance got closer and closer, the pilots of the two Fokker E's, the German pilots, smiled invariably. The expression on Mike Lang's face, who kept turning his head to observe the distance of the enemy planes, became excited. It was time to use him to get some information from Tang Yunyang.
Learned actions.
"Pull the lever to the end, step on the rudder, and watch my spring maneuver..."
Obviously, in the process of communicating with Tang Yunyang, Tang Yunyang's problem of reciting "mantras" that started from the "rookie" level and reached the "hero" level was also inherited from Mike Lang.
With the loud shout from Mike Lang's mouth, Newburgh 11 began to roll along the invisible beer barrel in the sky. The sky and the earth rotated, appearing in front of Mike Lang's eyes in turn.
The two Fokker E aircraft that had been chasing Mike Lang were too close to him, and as the Newburgh 11 continued to dive at low angles and long distances, the speed of the aircraft was unknown.
I didn't realize it was too fast.
Following Mike Lang's excited running cry, the pilots of the two Fokker E's lost sight of Mike Lang almost instantly.
The barrel roll and its derived maneuvers have extraordinary practical significance in air combat. Whether in offense or defense, they are common actions in air combat that can maintain a certain amount of energy, move the shortest forward distance in a straight line, and maintain curved displacement for effective dodge.
"Fuck, thank God, I made it!"
At this time, Mike Lang, who had successfully entered the rear of the two enemy planes that had just pursued him, shouted excitedly and stared at the sight without blinking.
At this time, machine guns in combat, due to machine gun performance and maintenance requirements, were generally installed on the left and right sides directly in front of the pilot. Although this arrangement is conducive to aiming and shooting, it is self-evident that the smoke caused by the propellant when the machine gun is fired is incompatible with the
Flames will affect the pilot's observation line of sight.
Through Mike Prince and Tang Yunyang's use of modern firearms, he found out that after reducing the weight of the machine gun and other optimizations, the aviation machine gun was installed under the propeller and in the nose of the aircraft.
The advantage of this is that it can reduce wind resistance, and at the same time, the impact on the pilot's sight when the machine gun is fired is limited.
"Ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta..."
As Mike Lang pulled the trigger with his finger, the machine gun sounded. A series of bullets flew towards the Fokker e in front with a shining trajectory.
This is another new equipment produced by Mike Prince Company - aviation standard ammunition belt. Armor-piercing bombs and incendiary tracer bullets are arranged according to certain rules and installed on the standard ammunition belt.
Such belts save Allied pilots the trouble of doing it themselves. The combined use of armor-piercing bullets and incendiary tracer bullets poses a much greater threat to aircraft made of wood and rubberized linen than ordinary bullets.
Mike Long gritted his teeth and stared at the pilot in front of him who was still looking for his Fokker E. After several short bursts of fire, a burst of black smoke came from the rear fuselage in front.
Apparently the wood and cloth on the fuselage were ignited by the incendiary tracer bullets.
Mike Lang's fighting spirit was now high. You must know that this was the first time he had shot down a plane. In the past, the most he had shot down were German reconnaissance balloons! The rest of the time, he just flew the plane on the Fokker.
Just act like a rabbit in front of me.
At this time, another Fokker E had already rolled, turned violently, and crashed to the ground.
"Boy, where can I run!"
With the joystick in his hand, Mike Lang's Newburgh 11 rolled up, turned over, and dived down behind it.
Mike Lang, who had just shot down an enemy plane, seemed elated. He stretched out his neck and stared closely at the Fokker E in front of him, which was escaping smoothly in order to gain more speed. He persistently believed in his heart that this would be his first.
Two victories.
However, being too persistent and forgetful on the battlefield is a dangerous thing.
"Hey! This guy!"
Mike Lang's seduction and a beautiful "spring maneuver" made the results he achieved reflected in one person's eyes. He was also a young pilot of the German Army. His flying cap and goggles covered most of his face.
Judging from his appearance, he is also a pretty handsome guy.
The Fokker E aircraft he piloted also had no achievements. He was obviously a new recruit entering the battlefield for the first time, but he was not eager to join in the "dog fight". His blue eyes were looking for his first prey in the sky.
"I can do what he does!"
When he saw Mike Lang, his natural ability to fight in the sky suddenly surged.
