Wang Hai handed the report he wrote to his commander. He recently shot down three more Qin aircraft. This number is actually very rare.
Because of the huge losses, the Qin State actually rarely took off its own fighter jets to fight against the Tang Army's aircraft. Even if it did, they were sporadic sneak attacks, and the results were very limited.
This makes it impossible for the pilots of the Tang Army to continue to significantly improve their results. They can only occasionally encounter some targets. Even most fighter pilots choose to mount ground-attack rockets and perform ground attack missions.
to increase one's "effect".
Relatively speaking, the number of aircraft performing air security missions is being reduced bit by bit. Wang Hai has been performing similar missions because of his outstanding abilities.
It was precisely because of this that he discovered some clues and wrote such a report that interested his commander very much.
"Are you sure what you found is not an exception?" The captain typed the report in his hand very interestingly and asked the super ace standing in front of him, his most valued subordinate Wang Hai.
Because of Wang Hai's presence, his fighter brigade is a model for the entire army, and he himself is a star in the air force, which makes him attach great importance to Wang Hai's report.
"No, the other party is indeed deliberately experimenting with evading our Thunderbolt missiles. Although it is very clumsy, they are indeed trying in this regard." Wang Hai said with great confirmation.
"The other side uses distance to observe each other. If we launch Thunderbolt missiles, they will immediately start violent maneuvers." He encountered such tactics in a battle a few days ago.
However, the opponent's reaction had no effect. The infrared-guided missile locked onto the target very easily, and accurately hit the target during the opponent's violent dive.
The Tang Army's infrared missile seeker is an improved second generation, and the possibility of simple interference is greatly reduced. At least the opponent's method of flying towards the sun will not have much effect.
A tactic like that of a MiG aircraft that maneuvers violently and then flies towards the sun requires speed to fight against such infrared missiles. Unfortunately, Qin's aircraft neither have infrared interference bombs nor are they very fast.
Qin's jet fighters are the first generation of early jet fighters, and their performance is actually only slightly better than propeller fighters, and cannot cope well with the pursuit of second generation jet fighters.
However, the pilots of the Qin State were still using the most bloody methods to find ways to counter the technological superiority of the Tang Empire's air force. They took off in small numbers, and then tried their best to find the weaknesses of the Tang Empire's air force.
The last few times Qin's fighter jets have taken off, they have adopted ultra-low-altitude flying. This is a method they discovered accidentally, because it can greatly reduce the reaction speed of the Tang army.
The radar of high-altitude early warning aircraft needs to filter out ground clutter. The TA-183 fighter jet itself is a small fighter jet. Although Tang Guo's radar itself is not particularly advanced, it does have certain "stealth" capabilities.
This kind of ultra-low-altitude flight can indeed have the greatest influence on the air dispatch and command of the Tang Empire. However... it also makes it easier for these Qin fighter jets to crash on their own.
After several accidents, the Qin State found a compromise: they would enter the battlefield at an altitude of more than 200 meters. Anyway, the ground troops of the Tang Empire had almost no anti-aircraft weapons.
Coupled with Qin's own Stukas and P40 fighter jets equipped with bombs, Qin more or less found a "tactic" for sneak attacks.
Under normal circumstances, the opponent will move in and out quickly, hit and run, and fly close to the ground to avoid encounters with the patrolling fighter jets of the Tang Empire as much as possible.
And if they really encounter the Tang Army's fighter jets, Qin's 183 fighter jets will quickly raise their altitude to about 1,000 meters, and then use the less effective circling dog fight to cover the departure of their own Stuka and P40 fighter jets as much as possible.
.
"Although they are very clumsy, they are really trying to find a way. Yesterday, they started to use hedging to hide their tail flames as much as possible." Wang Hai continued to report what he had seen.
After losing a large number of aircraft, the pilots of the Qin Army also summed up some experience and lessons. For example, they discovered that the Tang Army's air-to-air missiles always seemed to rear-end attack.
This attack method reminded them of their own tail flames, so in recent air battles, Qin fighter pilots were always willing to use their noses to face the enemy and engage in hedging operations with Tang Army aircraft.
Although the maneuverability of the Tang Army was inferior to that of the Tang Army, such a choice had almost no chance of success, but the Qin pilots were indeed working hard to find opportunities to compete with the Tang Army's pilots.
"It's really tricky. The opponent's tactics are giving us a headache." The captain put down Wang Hai's report and sighed depressingly: "The opponent is not dead, they are also changing. Recently, their propeller fighter jets appeared at low altitude.
It really makes us feel very troublesome.”
"Thunder attack aircraft that originally provided ground support have now begun to participate in local air defense missions." As a commander of a fighter unit, this situation is simply a shame for him.
The attack aircraft and helicopters that his fighter group was supposed to protect were now forced to defend themselves. This was a naked slap in his face.
"Now the focus of the bomber unit's mission has been on finding and destroying the opponent's field airports... Since the opponent has changed their tactics, we also need to make certain changes." The captain said and looked at Wang Hai: "
As for you... I have applied and will go back to the rear to receive new weapons and equipment and conduct adaptive training..."
"I understand." Wang Hai nodded. His role on the front line is indeed not great anymore. The enemy rarely moves in the area he is responsible for. He can only shoot down one enemy plane on average for several days now.
This efficiency is actually very low.
Therefore, it may be a better choice to take the time to go back and receive new equipment now to gain greater advantages and expand your record in the future.
"I heard that the Army is discussing the rapid equipment of anti-aircraft weapons. The situation will become clear soon..." The captain comforted Wang Hai. For a front-line ace pilot, it would obviously be somewhat disappointing to return to the rear.
Wang Hai adjusted his mood, stood at attention, saluted and assured his superior: "Captain, don't worry, I will be back soon after I go back..."
"I believe this." The captain nodded and said firmly: "I estimate that it will only take a few months at most."

Updates are resumed. I cannot make up for the missed updates recently. After all, my wife has not been discharged from the hospital yet, but her condition has improved a bit. So I can only resume updates temporarily, sorry.
