And it's not just weapons. The engine of the Juya fighter is also far more powerful and reliable than that of humans. The ultimate cruising speed is nearly 50% faster than that of Fury. It can be said to be a qualitative improvement, and its outer shell is made of Furnace.
Unique void armor technology, this armor is made of ferromagnetic braid, reinforced with adamantine, and finally enhanced with micro-position generators, which can reduce damage when attacked by ballistic or directed energy weapons.
Regardless of the three dimensions of maneuverability, protection, or firepower, it far exceeds the empire's existing fighters and interceptors. As for sensors, not to mention, the most important thing is that the fighters configured by Furnace are equipped with additional pilots.
This is what Soshyan values most, because the pilot is the core factor that determines the combat effectiveness of a fighter plane, and the pilot configured by the Furnace is the mysterious Ironborn among them, and such a huge fighter plane only needs one Ironborn
The pilot is responsible for the control of flight, fire control, radar and many other equipment.
As for what the Ironborn are, each race has its own secrets. Although Soshyan has always been curious, he will not explore it, even though he actually already has the answer in his heart.
So Shiyan would naturally accept the good thing of hiring a fighter plane and getting an Ironborn pilot as a gift. As for the high price, with the resources he currently has at his disposal, hiring an aviation formation is not a big problem. He belongs to the war group.
The Blue Ant Mining Guild has reached a strategic partnership with the Great Sorian Alliance, which can obtain a portion of the benefits from hundreds of resource planets.
These Hearthborn pilots stationed on the Abyss are also called the Wotan Volunteer Air Force to express the non-military alliance between the two parties.
"Iron-Stone formation, give priority to attacking the enemy's Omen bomber formation."
The Ironborn have their own command network, and various attack plans are quickly formed on the scale of seconds and transmitted to every fighter. The Abyss carries 16 heavy arrow fighter formations, with a total of 240 fighters. They quickly deploy and converge
The eight formations released by the Frontline Ranger-class battleships quickly fought with the Chaos fighters.
In an instant, the void was filled with interlaced beams of light, plasma, witchcraft flames, and missiles. However, it was obvious that facing fighters whose "numbers" far exceeded those of humans, the Chaos side could not take any advantage. Hell Blades were constantly rolling to avoid them.
They exploded or disintegrated, and those ominous bombers became the focus of attention. The plasma broke their wings, and the missiles penetrated their fuselage. No matter how hard they tried to evade, they could not get rid of those deadly predators.
Just as the heavy arrow fighter formation was fighting with the Chaos aircraft group, another type of fighter aircraft began to attack the Chaos warships, especially the Styx-class heavy cruiser Bloody Scimitar. They were larger bombers named Thunder.
The bomber has a very unique appearance. It is a flat square with a length of nearly ninety meters and no wings. Compared to the human Starhawk bomber, it is more like a miniature battleship. Its whole body is covered with thick void armor.
There is also a shield generator, which is enough to withstand direct fire from the ship's point defense weapons, and the tail engine can allow it to rush towards the target at extremely fast speeds.
After approaching the target, the Thunder bomber's head armor plate will open, and the four torpedo tubes can launch eight "Vicious" torpedoes in two times. This medium-sized torpedo has a dead-eye seeking system, a plasma armor-breaking part and a concussion
The melted warhead can automatically find the defensive weaknesses of enemy ships, penetrate the heavy armor of the battleship, and detonate a volcanic torrent of death inside. In addition, there are four retractable missile launchers on the side of the bomber fighter that can be launched
Hate missiles, and its defensive weapons are 8 retractable ion beam cannons and heavy rail guns. In addition, there is a torpedo launch port under the belly of the machine, which can release 36 "rock" void mines at a time that can automatically build a defense zone.
, and such a huge bomber only requires two pilots, or one Furnace and one Iron Descendant. Its level of automation is excellent, so it can save a lot of space for loading ammunition and equipment.
In terms of firepower, it is two levels stronger than Starhawk.
The Thunder Bombers were very fast, and the Chaos Battleship only reacted when they almost appeared within the attack range.
"Emergency air defense! Emergency air defense! Send out interceptor fighters!"
On the bridge filled with human organs and blasphemous creations, Slaanesh's ship commander made a voice full of panic, and the two Hellblade squadrons remaining near the ship immediately moved to intercept.
However, the defensive firepower of the Thunder bombers is very fierce, especially when they attack in groups. The Abyss-class carries 6 Thunder bomber formations, a total of 90 fighters. They all rush towards the Bloody Scimitar. When those Hell Blades attack from above,
When they came, the armor plates on top of them opened gaps one by one, stretched out the turrets, and then created a dense fire network.
When the Hellblade used its automatic cannon to strafe the Thunder bomber group, it was either blocked by the shield, or it just bounced harmlessly off the void armor - their firepower was unable to shake these heavily armored bombers, and the Thunder bomber's
Counterattacks caused their fighter planes to break off and disintegrate.
Soon the ship's defensive firepower followed, and the Thunder bomber group dispersed, with nine in a group, and began to enter their respective attack positions.
Then, they launched a ferocious salvo of torpedoes. The first wave of 360 "Grudge" torpedoes rushed towards the Bloody Scimitar from several angles. On the one hand, the battleship tried to speed up to avoid it, and on the other hand, it tried to intercept these torpedoes.
Some torpedoes were shot down and some were offset by the shield, but more than 200 torpedoes still hit the hull of the heavy cruiser.
After a brief silence, the battleship looked like a model that had been thrown to the ground. The entire hull bent slightly, and then the armor plates disintegrated inch by inch, followed by fire, and hundreds of explosion points six kilometers away.
It spreads on the long hull. In the past, it used fighter plane formations to destroy enemies. This is the first time it has suffered a devastating blow from an enemy fighter plane formation.
But even so, this tough battleship still did not die. It was still fighting back and struggling.
Then the Thunder bomber group launched another 180 hateful anti-ship missiles. They were barely intercepted, just like poisonous needles piercing the bloody scimitar's hull riddled with holes.
After a few seconds of silence, an earth-shaking explosion ushered in. Several missiles penetrated the disintegrated armor and hit the battleship's reactor and ammunition depot. After a burst of distortion, the Bloody Scimitar broke into three pieces.
Rotating and floating in the void.
Then the bomber formation began to attack other warships, and at this time, a unique silhouette appeared on the battlefield. It acted alone, but it was the most expensive and rare existence in the fleet.
This fighter has a flat rectangular head, which changes to an oval shape when it reaches the middle of the fuselage. There are four engines at the tail, two short wings on both sides of the fuselage, and no weapons can be seen from the outside.
