Chapter 276 The Battle of Bertales - The Power of a Mixed Fleet
Chapter 276 Battle of Betares-The power of the mixed fleet
The Dreadnaught flagship cannon is powerful, but has a slow rate of fire, making it difficult to hit non-flagship targets.
Moreover, a qualified regular pilot has also received tactical evasion on avoiding powerful weapons such as flagship cannons. Under normal circumstances, it is not said that he can avoid them all, but there are definitely not too many who can be hit head-on by the flagship cannon.
The Betales Federation's fearless mixed fleet is configured by old money.
In addition to the basic conventional main warships, there are also special ships specialized in stagnant beam as auxiliaries, which greatly limits one's own warships.
Under the influence of various interception force fields and this stagnant beam, the speed of the own warship dropped to the extreme, and it was impossible to maneuver at all. Then it was destroyed one by one by the Shenshi-class dreadnought.
Facing this mixed fleet with the dreadnought as the core of the tactics, Michael Blake's Exorcist-class fleet was beaten to the point where it was unable to fight back. Every time it tried to destroy the interceptor and escape, it was shot by the dreadnought in the end.
The cannon was blown away.
Facing the high-efficiency concentrated fire of Beteles' mixed fleet, this fleet acting as a fire reconnaissance suffered heavy casualties.
With the retreat route cut off by the interceptor ship, the commander of this exorcist-class fleet looked at the fleet's declining numbers, and his heart trembled.
"All battleships rush into the enemy's formation, avoid fearless attacks, and attack enemy conventional battleships!"
If this continues, it will end sooner or later.
So now the only way left for them is to continue charging forward.
As long as you can rush into the Betares Federation fleet, you can use the dark method to avoid the threat of the dreadnought's main gun and engage in a battle with the opponent's conventional warships, thus minimizing the threat from the opponent's dreadnought.
Even if the final result is that the whole army is annihilated, that is better than being passively beaten now!
Facing the sudden charge of this exorcist-class fleet, Lao Qian didn't show any surprise on his face. After all, this was what he expected, and this was even a specially designed pocket for him.
Facing the charge of this exorcist-class fleet, the interceptor ship of the Betares Federation did not take any action, but continued to block its way back, allowing them to charge forward.
However, many Exorcist-class battleships were already called out by concentrated fire before they started charging, and were subsequently wiped out by the main guns of the Apocalypse-class dreadnoughts.
There was originally an Exorcist-class fleet, but by the time it rushed into the Betares Federation's mixed fleet, there were only less than fifty ships left.
And these fifty ships had just rushed to the front of the formation, but they suddenly discovered that although there were large gaps between these dreadnoughts, there were also a large number of battleships and other special warships in their fleet.
Before they could react, the Hells Angel-class battleship of the Betares Federation opened fire first.
Rainbow-like lasers streaked across the starry sky, converging into a rainbow meteor shower.
Beautiful and deadly.
Then the electronic warfare equipment of a pair of special ships was all put on them, and the micro-jump thrusters of their exorcist-class warships were forcibly shut down by the jump scrambling, and the ship's speed also dropped sharply under the action of the stasis beam.
Even the locking system was temporarily disrupted under the ECM of several frigates.
Faced with this situation, these exorcist-level pilots didn't have any surprises. They were all destroyed one by one, and they didn't even have the ability to resist.
But a few ships realized something was wrong, so they maneuvered and bypassed the exorcist class of conventional battleships. Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief.
I saw the bases of the Divine Apocalypse-class dreadnoughts around here opening up on both sides, suddenly revealing rows of close-range defense laser cannons.
In everyone's dull eyes, these close-range defense laser cannons suddenly started to fire, and they were faced with rounds of firepower output.
The rate of fire and power of the dreadnought's close-in defense guns cannot be overemphasized. Under such ferocious firepower, the few remaining Exorcist-class ships turned into fireworks in space along with the large force.
The Justice Order fire reconnaissance fleet is completely destroyed!
The destruction of his fire reconnaissance fleet did not affect Michael Blake's expression at all, because this was expected.
If you don't give enough bait, how can you get enough information?
It was worthwhile to exchange such a main fleet for the fighting style of the Betales Federation mixed fleet and the basic data of the dreadnought.
And Michael Black was also very interested in the formation of his teacher's mixed fleet.
"As expected of you, this mixed fleet has maximized the performance of the dreadnoughts!"
Although the defensive capabilities of the Apocalypse-class dreadnoughts were not tested because of this, it was also tested that these dreadnoughts were equipped with powerful flagship guns, rather than strafing guns aimed at conventional warships.
Originally this kind of dreadnought was only equipped with flagship guns, but Michael Black was able to seize the opportunity between its firings. Whether it was a long-range battle or a close-range battle, he could avoid the attack through high-speed maneuvers, and then wear it down bit by bit.
die.
But under Lao Qian's arrangement, the dreadnoughts gave up their original attack method of pure dreadnought clusters, and changed to a mixed fleet with dreadnoughts as the core and conventional battleships and special battleships as auxiliaries.
With the assistance of conventional battleships and special battleships, the performance of the dreadnought can be maximized.
Each of these dreadnoughts is paired with several conventional battleships and special battleships to form a combat group.
Then these conventional battleships and special battleships surround the dreadnought. The conventional main battleships serve as air defense tasks, while the special battleships limit the speed of enemy battleships to make it easier for the dreadnought's flagship cannon to hit, while the dreadnought's close defense
The system can also protect team members, which makes each combat team extremely powerful.
The most important thing is that even if the opponent suddenly enters flagship-level combat power, the flagship cannon on this dreadnought can immediately and effectively kill the opponent, without falling behind in firepower due to the strafing cannon.
The entire battle group's tactics revolve around the dreadnought, which can be used to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend.
Of course, this tactic is not suitable for all battlefield environments.
Because this dreadnought can no longer move after activating the battle module, it cannot cooperate with the conventional fleet in active pursuit, which greatly limits the fleet's mobility.
Moreover, this dreadnought also relies on the special warships to restrict the enemy, thus assisting the dreadnoughts in combat. Therefore, if the losses of the special warships are serious, the dreadnoughts will be greatly restricted in facing the enemy's conventional fleet main guns, and can only use
The proximity defense system is attacking.
Facing the threat of Bertales' mixed fleet, Michael Black wisely did not choose to continue the attack.
Instead, they were confronting the mixed fleet of the Betales Federation on one side, while urging the fearless fleet behind them on the other.
If you want to open up a situation in Betares' mixed fleet, you can only rely on the fearless fleet.
Again, the only thing that can compete with a flagship is a flagship!
Compared to Michael Black's attack, which was blocked, Frederick McGee brought the Dreadnought Fleet from the beginning, making the battle very cruel from the beginning.
