Chapter 1687: Problematic joint force

However, unlike Littorio and the Roman ship, Veneto, as an SSS-class historical battleship, can solve the problem of the dispersion of main guns by using fusion shells. After all, in actual combat in history, Veneto has repeatedly fought across. The shot did not hit the target. If it weren’t for the problem of dispersion, Veneto’s face was black as carbon, but in this world, it’s not that Veneto’s face is black, but that there is indeed a problem with the dispersion of the main guns of this class of battleship. For Veneto, this is still an unsolvable problem.
Colorado can solve it because the main guns used by North Carolina-class battleships and South Dakota-class battleships in history are in the same line as Colorado's main guns. Moreover, it is possible to use Iowa's MK7 even if it is not MK6. They are all different models of the same country. There is no problem in using the main gun of the Nelson-class battleship.
Colorado’s problem is that Maryland and West Virginia have never modified the American 16-inch main gun. The problem that the main gun can be used as long as it is modified will naturally be solved. If the MK7 used by the four Iowa sisters is modified, it will be even more. Well, for the three Colorado sisters, the main gun problem is solvable and promising.
The situation in Veneto is different. Veneto is the last battleship built in Italy. There is no follow-up model in Veneto. This makes Veneto’s main gun the most advanced in Italy, and the rest is Cavour. The main guns of the Earl-class battleships and the main guns of the Andrea Doria-class battleships are now available. This type of main gun was originally a 12-inch main gun, but it was not expanded much after a major transformation, and Veneto could not use it. With such a main gun, Veneto can only solve the current main gun problem by himself and cannot expect to replace the main gun like the Howe. This is a problem with many historical warships in the world. This problem is often very serious.
The border governor of the North Union used the main guns of the two Bavarian sisters instead of Tirpitz. Historically, the two Bavarian sisters sunk one during Operation Rainbow and the other ran aground and was sunk by the target ship. This type of 380mm There was no subsequent development of the dual-mounted main guns. This has had a great impact on the world of this type of main gun. Many innate problems can only be improved but cannot be solved. The border governor and the Bavarian sisters use such main guns. There is no way.
The main reason is that Tirpitz’s main gun is too heavy. The weight of Tirpitz’s twin 15-inch guns is not much lighter than the triple 18-inch guns of Yamato-class battleships. This is for the two Bavarian sisters and the border. For battleships like the Governor that served before and after World War I, Tirpitz’s main gun is too heavy to use at all.
The problems faced by the sisters of the United Forces are the same as Veneto. In history, the United Forces was the only dreadnought ship built in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The subsequent models of the United Forces were not built due to the outbreak of the First World War. This made the United Forces main artillery It can’t be changed. The corresponding joint power gun problem cannot be solved. The main guns of the joint power sisters can only be improved through modification. There are problems that cannot be solved anyway. Modification is not inherent in omnipotent equipment. The shortcomings of the transformation can not be solved.
However, compared with Veneto, the problem of the main guns of the combined force is much more serious. Veneto is at best because the main guns are scattered. The problem of barrel life cannot be solved by Veneto in a short time, but it will be solved sooner or later, at most It means to change the barrels of other battleships for two battles. After one battle, Veneto needs to replace the barrels. Although this consumes a lot, it does not affect the combat effectiveness. The problem of the dispersion of the main artillery can be solved by the integrated artillery. This is not the way to solve the problem. The Joint Force-class battleship is a capital ship with major inherent defects, which is completely different from an excellent existence like Veneto.
In addition to the main gun, Veneto’s problem is that the radar is extremely poor and the endurance is only at the level of destroyers of other countries. Although the Plessey system is fairly defensive, it is more complicated and inconvenient to maintain and repair after being injured. This is in this world. The problem with the system is that although the Veneto-class battleship has excellent defenses, the maintenance cost is high and the recovery time after injury is long, but this is not a fatal problem, and it is not a problem compared with joint power. Many aspects of joint power are Quite terrible.
The maximum speed of the joint force of 20 knots was slow in the dreadnought era. The standard American battleships have a speed of 21 knots, which is quite slow. The joint force is not only slow. The underwater defense is extremely unreasonable. Underwater defense is quite poor. When encountering danger, Prince Eugen and St. Esteban use shields in most cases, but because the underwater defense is quite poor, this affects the shield’s underwater performance. The effect, coupled with the fact that the combined force in history has not been a major ship from its appearance to the disintegrated submarine, which makes the combined force insensitive to underwater targets, not to mention the defense, which is quite bad~EbookFREE.me~The combined power is not good. It’s just that the underwater part is not good. Although the air defense can be solved by adding anti-aircraft guns, there are still some problems with the joint force to deal with aerial targets. Compared with the Royal Oak, it is not good. More than that, the chimney of the joint force is a very huge shortcoming. The joint force is not just the main gun. This type of battleship is full of problems. There is nothing to do with the Royal Oak, which is only slow and not very sensitive to underwater targets, and Colorado, which is only slow, and after solving the problem of the main gun jam. The shortcomings of the Haohao are completely incomparable, and the many birth defects of the joint force are very fatal problems.
This is also a problem with many historical warships. In fact, it is not just a joint force. The same is true for the two sisters Ribadavia, who are the first sisters of the Argentine ship. The two sisters Ribadavia have not undergone major changes in their entire service life in history. , The famous cage masts of American battleships were still there until the two sisters of Ribadavia were retired. Although the two sisters of Ribadavia in this world have long given up on cage masts, they have been used for a long time in history. It is still obvious that the same mast, the masts of the two sisters in Vadavia, cannot bear too much weight. This is a huge problem caused by birth defects.
Faced with Brother Niu’s question, Fatty Gao didn’t know how to answer. Fatty Gao knew this for a long time. He knew it from Royal Oak and the Queen. Many problems with joint power will accompany lifelong issues. It is only the more prominent among so many problems. It can be said that although the combined force can use the combined skills, the strength of this class of battleship is not strong. Although it is one more than the three Veneto sisters, the combined skills are not The three Neto sisters are not at the same level.
