The most powerful thing about the Galactic Republic's powerful fleet of 60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers is not the battleships with powerful shields and unreasonable layout but still fierce firepower, but the 9,000 V-
19 Torrents, 4,800 Z-95 Headhunter fighters and 1,800 Y-Wing bombers!
This is also the reason why fighter planes have an advantage in the current spiral of scientific and technological development in the galaxy.
Kuat Dynamics Shipyard, which currently represents the highest shipbuilding technology in the galaxy, produces point defense systems that can intercept fighter jets flying at up to 100G acceleration. However, the theoretical maximum acceleration of current starfighters is generally above 3000G! Even if driven by ordinary people,
They can also break through 100G acceleration if they focus enough.
Therefore, before a starfighter is shot down by a close-in defense system, it will be able to cause considerable damage to a warship. This damage is far greater than that of a missile of the same price, and it is also much more effective than a turbolaser cannon.
That's why the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, a relatively deformed aviation battleship model, was born. Since this battleship has been given such a large carrying capacity, it is better to continue to stuff some AT-TE walkers, LATT assault
It would be even more perfect to put a transport plane or the like inside, and then add 2,000 Republic Marines into it. Of course, since it has already carried ground troops, it must also need to enter the atmosphere for fire support, so a large number of turrets began to be installed.
In the end, it became such a warship that can do everything, but can do nothing well. In fact, even as an aircraft carrier, the Jaeger-class is not as good as a professional aircraft carrier.
Compare this to the Fourth Civilization's Sowa-class aircraft carrier, which is 1,300 meters long and can carry up to 500 Ghost fighters or 1,400 Vulture robot fighters. However, due to the shortage of pilots in the Fourth Civilization, each Sowa-class aircraft carrier carries 100 Ghosts.
fighter jets and 900 Vulture robot warplanes.
This carrying capacity is actually much larger than that of the Jaeger-class fighter, because the Phantom is a heavy-duty fighter aircraft that is comparable in size to the ARC-170 fighter of the Galactic Republic, and the ARC-170 is only designed to carry 36 aircraft on the Jaeger-class fighter.
And as a professional aircraft carrier, although the Sova-class aircraft carrier also has main guns, they are basically for self-defense. The Sowa-class has a very complete flight control system on the huge bridge, and a complete maintenance system in the huge hangar.
There are 4 ejection runways, which can take off 20 fighter jets at one time, allowing the fighter jets to reach an acceleration of 50G at the moment of takeoff. This and the direct opening of the hangar platform, allowing the fighter jets to take off using the anti-gravity engine, and then slowly accelerate, are advantageous.
.
But no matter what, for the Galactic Republic, more means justice!
There are a total of 60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and 15,600 fighter jets. The artillery battle can at least remain undefeated, but on the battlefield of fighter jets, this number can be directly crushed!
Even though Matt Horner's A fleet also has 9,000 Vulture robot fighters, he must allocate more than half of the fighters to defend the floating cities on the planet Bespin, and these fighters are all 3.6-meter-long ultra-lightweights.
The fighter jets and firepower are not on the same level as the Republic's V-19 Torrent light fighter.
Tang Xiao knew about the Jaeger-class design before it came out, so the Fourth Civilization, which has the Galactic Republic as its imaginary enemy, has always been targeting this type of fighter-sea tactics.
In order to target the Republic's elite fighter force, Tang Xiao prepared three major weapons for them - stealth fighters, anti-aircraft destroyers, and another one. Now Matt Horner still holds it in his hand. He knows that even if the Galactic Republic has lost
Thousands of fighter jets, but this is only one-sixteenth of the 15,600 fighter jets they carry.
150 guard-class air defense destroyers had already arrived on Bespin when Matt Horner was building a defense line. It was with the help of these air defense destroyers that the 2,500 Vulture robot fighters that the Fourth Civilization Fleet took off were able to
It's worth fighting against the Republic's fleet.
When the Galactic Republic fleet took off the third batch of fighter jets, Matt Horner finally took out his trump card - the ghost fighter!
And they are all equipped with cloaking devices!
300 ghost fighters took off from the ejection runway of the Sova-class aircraft carrier, unknowingly approached the Republic's fighter group, and then started a one-sided massacre!
The Galactic Republic actually has stealth technology, but because of the Rusan Reform, the Galactic Republic has basically not developed military technology, and stealth technology has been stagnant. After all, what the Republic is thinking at this time is that once stealth technology is invented and leaked, it will have a negative impact on galactic trade.
The order management of the waterway can be said to be a devastating blow.
And after a lapse of 1,000 years, they picked up their own weapons again. The Republic officers and soldiers ranged from Sheev Palpatine to an ordinary pilot. They never thought that anyone could equip stealth fighters on such a large scale.
!
The powerful enemy tracking system of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser can indeed detect invisible ghost fighters, but this will greatly reduce their enemy tracking and locking distance, and the system response speed will also drop a lot. But the airborne radar of those fighters will
The signal of the Phantom fighter can only be detected within 10 kilometers, and it is very weak. For space operations, this enemy detection distance is almost the same as that of a blind man!
It is also impossible for the flight control command center to direct each fighter jet to fight with another group of fighter jets. In this ever-changing chaotic battlefield, you may have just issued an instruction, and the opponent's position has changed several times.
300 stealth Phantom fighters were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, easily slaughtering the Republic's fighter group. The Jedi Master Green Betty who commanded the operation immediately issued an order to retreat, but this third batch of fighter combat groups, including 1,000 V
Of the -19 Riptide fighters and 1,000 Z-95 Headhunter multifunctional fighters, less than a quarter can return to their own battleships!
Not only that, Green-Betty also recalled the second batch of aircraft fleets that were cleaning up those Gauss firepower platforms. There are still more than 90 Gauss firepower platforms still surviving, and they are still tirelessly bombarding the Republic's warships under computer control.
"General! This is not the way to go." Admiral McGrane, the commander of the Republic Fleet, looked worried and turned to Green Beatty and said, "The opponent's Cole-class battlecruiser has a powerful kinetic energy cannon, and the scan results have been
When it comes out, the diameter of the muzzle is 40 meters, and a smaller spacecraft can dance in the barrel! It is this kind of giant cannon that makes us have to turn on the hybrid shield at all times, and the energy consumption of the shield is huge. In addition,
…”
"Stealth fighter." Green-Betty said with a serious face, "The sense of crisis in my heart is getting more and more serious. This battle to regain the planet Bespin will not be as simple as we imagined."
"What is the origin of Dawn Planet? How can such a secondary planet with a diameter of only 4,900 kilometers have such terrifying technological and industrial capabilities!" Admiral McGrane took a deep breath.
"The common rumor is that they come from a planet that was destroyed by war. Some intelligence personnel believe that their origins are in the unknown star field. And they appointed a female Chiss as admiral, which is also one of the evidences." Green
-Betty said, and said to the communications soldier next to him: "Send the combat data of the Phantom fighter to the rear scientific research department immediately!"
