Chapter 1863: Not easy fight

Under normal circumstances, the Seven Sisters of Kent and the Four Sisters of London must be stronger than the three Sisters of Richelieu, because quantity is more important than quality in this world or in the historical world. The Four Sisters of London and the Seven Sisters of Kent already have 11 A battleship, although one-on-one is far inferior to the three Richelieu sisters, but what they can do is far from what the Richelieu three sisters can do.
This situation has been reflected many times in history. In the absence of generation gap, quantity is much more important than quality. This is the experience gained in previous wars. In World War II, the German Tiger series Leopard series tanks cannot be weak. But in the face of absolute quantity, these quality advantages are not enough. In fact, most Allied soldiers, especially allied soldiers on the Western Front, have never seen the famous Tiger tanks, because the total production of Tiger series tanks in World War II It's not even two thousand, which is really not a lot.
The T34 medium tank was the most produced in the Allied Forces. The T34 was produced until the 1950s. The total production was nearly 80,000. During World War II, it was about 47,000. The Sherman tank in the U.S. Army was nearly 50,000. The main tank in the German army was never the Tiger Panther but the No. 4 tank. In the face of absolute quantity, the quality advantage is really useless, because facing the very large number of Allied tanks, Sherman And the T34 will suffer a big loss when it encounters the Tiger Panther, but because the production of the Tiger Panther is not a lot, this makes the Sherman T34 often encounter the fourth tank or pure infantry, and the infantry meets the tank. It is quite helpless.
The same is true in the maritime battlefield. The Yamato-class battleship can be said to be the most powerful traditional battleship built. It is not the most powerful battleship, because the Iowa-class battleship during the Gulf War can smash the Yamato-class battleship to the Gulf. During the war, Iowa was still Iowa, and battleships were not other types of ships, but Iowa was not as good as Yamato during World War II.
But as far as the Yamato is very powerful, there are only two Yamato-class battleships, four Iowa-class battleships, and the U.S. Army also has two North Carolina-class battleships and four South Dakota-class battleships. These two types are six post-treaty era. The huge number of battleships makes it impossible for the U.S. Navy to defeat the U.S. Navy even in the type of fleet battle that a certain island nation wants to see.
This was also the case in Germany in World War II. When Bismarck first served in the United Kingdom, there were many embarrassments. The most important thing was that those who could catch up with Bismarck could not beat Bismarck, and could not beat Bismarck as fast as they could. What's the use, Tirpitz has never had a decent battle in Norway.
This is also the case in this world. Many times the quality advantage is not so obvious. In the face of absolute quantity advantage, the quality advantage is useless. In other battles, the role played by the Kent Seven Sisters and the London Four Sisters is definitely better than The three Richelieu sisters are much older, but this time it is not a normal fight. This time the fighting power of the Seven Kent 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-based sea monsters are not ordinary monsters. In the face of this resource-based sea monster, they have very big requirements for the air defense capabilities of battleships. The air defense capabilities of the Kent Seven Sisters and the London Four Sisters are absolutely absolute. Not weak, but facing this resource-based sea monster, it exposed the problem of insufficient air defense firepower. Because the small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery has no effect on the target of this resource-based sea monster, it abolished the seven sisters of Kent and the four London sisters. Most of the air defense capability is the reason why the Queen has been trying his best to oppose the participation of these two heavy cruisers in battle.
After fighting for a while, I realized that this was not going to work. The pressure on the fleet was increasing. The Seven Sisters of Kent and the Four Sisters of London had become a drag on the fleet. Under such circumstances, the fleet had to make compromises, and the German Five Sisters played.
The five German sisters have a great influence on the field. The main reason is that the five sisters are former dreadnoughts. The gap between the former dreadnoughts and the dreadnoughts is very large. This gap has a generational difference in all aspects. The German five sisters are in the Northern Conference. Not as good as the Border Governor can see the problem. You must know that the Border Governor’s problem is also very big. The main reason is that the Border Governor sank in Scarpa Bay during Operation Rainbow. Like the Royal Oak, the Border Governor has always been in Scarpa. The bay was not salvaged.
Because of the historical experience, the problem of the border governor is very serious, especially the air defense problem. The five German sisters do not have this problem. The main reason is that many of the five sisters participated in World War II. Among them, Schleswig-Holstein The bombardment of the port of Danzig was also a sign of the outbreak of World War II. Some of these five sisters have been in stock until the latter part of World War II. This makes the air defense capabilities of these five sisters quite acceptable. At the beginning, they were more defective than the border governor. Historical warships must be stronger.
But in this way, the status of these five sisters is still far inferior to that of the border governor~EbookFREE.me~ This kind of inferiority is inferior in all directions. It is not very useful to have strong air defense capabilities, but in this case, only these five sisters can. Although it’s not all-round, it’s a sister ship that can use the combined skills. This time the battle is like this. The combined skills are more important than anything else, because the combined skills will have enough reaction time, whether it is to buy yourself time or Buying time for other warships is the same result.
The battle is very difficult now. The problems of the Richelieu three sisters seriously affected the next battle. Even the supplies of the three Veneto sisters were affected. The three Veneto sisters had to shorten the supply as much as possible. Time, in order to support the front fleet, Mrs. Lex also started her own operation. The main task of the previous aircraft carrier fleet was to assist in air defense and control the range of monsters. Now Mrs. Lex is still attacking the sea monster itself to disperse the sea. The strange attention reduces the pressure on the SSS-class historical battleship fleet. This is absolutely impossible. Something will happen. Mrs. Lex is quite anxious.
However, it is useless to worry about things like this. Although Mrs. Lex’s attack is effective, the effect is not so obvious. This is mainly because Mrs. Lex cannot attack with all his strength so as not to stimulate the sea monster and be restrained. The attack effect is not good, but Mrs. Lex's attack still has many good aspects, it is true that it has greatly reduced the burden on the fleet.
