Throwing torpedoes and throwing bombs are completely different tactics.
The accuracy of dropping bombs at high altitude was originally the lowest, but when Germany developed a radio-guided method, the accuracy of high-altitude bomb dropping was solved.
The advantage of high-altitude bomb dropping is the safety of the aircraft. For example, in this era, the JU290 flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters is absolutely safe.
In addition to high-altitude bombing, only dive bombing can pose a threat to warships. The advantage of dive bombing is of course high accuracy. German pilots are best at diving bombing. However, the threat of this kind of dive bombing is also very big.
Yes, diving and dropping bombs need to risk the opponent's air defense firepower to increase the risk of the carrier itself.
To throw a torpedo, you don't have to risk this kind of danger. The torpedo can navigate in the water, so you just need to set up various data and then throw it into the water.
The torpedo will sail automatically.
Now, in order to throw torpedoes, the carrier needs to fly at a very low altitude over the sea.
The performance of the torpedoes of this era is still very unstable, especially the electronic processing system on the torpedo, which is simple and backward. If the throwing height is too high, the torpedo may collide with the water surface when it enters the water. This kind of impact will damage the internal equipment.
From this point of view, the British used swordfish attack aircraft to throw torpedoes. There seems to be nothing wrong with it. In terms of low speed, biplanes definitely dominate.
And now, FW190, flying low above the sea, Lieutenant Colonel Prila aimed at the huge battleship ahead, and then pressed the throw button.
At this time, he was only three meters away from the surface of the water, and the waves swayed almost under his wing. As naval aviation, their technology was quite superb!
Under the belly of the plane, the seven-meter-long torpedo slid down slowly, and when it entered the water, some small splashes of water splashed.
Then, the T-3 torpedo started to move.
In the huge body of the torpedo, most of the space is stored with lead-acid batteries, which are similar to the batteries of electric vehicles. The number of batteries determines the range of the torpedo.
This torpedo has two battery packs, each with 26 93 amp-hour batteries.
Now, the electric power inside the battery is continuously supplied to the motor behind, driving the propeller, stirring the water, and soon, it sprints to a high speed of 30 knots!
At this speed, it can travel five kilometers, and at this time, at the time of the throw, the plane of Lieutenant Colonel Prila was about three kilometers away from the opponent.
At this distance, bang-bang cannon can't hit it at all! This is the limitation of the combat slant distance. The shooting range is not enough, and it depends on the appropriate angle!
As a result, the gunners looked at the attack aircraft in surprise. A few kilometers away from their own side, they threw a big one. After entering the water, the aircraft pulled up and climbed high.
"No, it's a torpedo, fast, full rudder left!" the gunners shouted loudly.
The opponent is coming towards his side. At this time, as long as you make a turn, you can face the opponent with the smallest projection area, and it is likely to pass the torpedo.
But now, do they have this opportunity?
No!
The bridge has been blown up. In addition to the casualties on the bridge, the steering wheel has also been blown up. Now, this war exhaustion, almost the same as in World War I, can only sail in a straight line. .
It was unable to make any turns, and its current speed was reduced to almost stationary.
The torpedo was sailing underwater, and the propeller at the tail stirred the seawater, forming a ripple on the water surface, which was even visible to the naked eye.
So, under everyone's attention, this torpedo, the end of its voyage, is the middle of the war exhaustion!
This type of torpedo was finalized in 35 years. In 39 years it has been regarded as a model that is skilled in use, and new types of torpedoes are still under development.
This torpedo uses an electromagnetic induction fuze.
In the past, it was an impact fuze. Only after it collided with the opposing warship, it could explode. If it didn't collide, it would fail.
The electromagnetic induction fuze is a proximity fuze, and it can explode before touching it!
Warships are all made of iron, so there will be electromagnetic induction, and the current fuze determines the target by sensing this magnetic field.
With the gradual approach, the fuze has felt the increasingly intense electromagnetic field, and when it reached a limit, the fuze was triggered.
"Boom!" 200 kilograms of nitric acid compounds, at this moment, there was a violent explosion.
At this time, the torpedo is still half a meter away from the target.
A violent explosion occurred underwater, and the surrounding sea water was immediately stirred. This sea water formed a greater force and hit the ship's rail.
Compared with magnetic detonation, direct impact is more threatening than magnetic detonation, because its explosion will push the sea water to form a greater impact effect ~ EbookFREE.me ~ crunch, "under the beating of the sea water, There was a terrible cry from the keel inside the ship, and almost half a second later, only one bang was heard.
The keel is broken.
There was a big hole in the bottom steel plate next to the keel.
War exhaustion was an old ship from the First World War. During the First World War, the performance of the torpedo was very backward. The main threat was the opponent’s artillery. Therefore, the battleship during the First World War had very thick water armor. In the underwater part, it is not so important.
Needless to say, the old ships during World War I, even the current ones, such as the Bismarck, were wounded by a torpedo thrown by a British carrier plane and then beaten to death.
And now, the torpedo thrown by the FW190 carrier aircraft successfully tore a large hole in the bottom of the war exhaustion, and the sea water gurgled in.
"Quickly, close the watertight door." Under the water, the sailors shouted loudly. As a battleship, it has strong anti-strike ability. It has multiple watertight doors. Once the cabin here leaks, just close it.
The sailors are closing quickly, hoping to save their warship.
"You leave me something!" Underwater, a dissatisfied voice came out: "Aircraft carrier, battleship, leave me a big guy!"
Captain Prien was depressed.
