For dragons, the older they are, the bigger they are, and the higher their defense power is.
After a twilight dragon hatches, it quickly grows to the size of an adult dragon.
The defense capabilities of the same adult dragon will be different from those of an ancient dragon that has just reached adulthood, a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, or ten thousand years ago.
After all, it is a catalytic thing. No matter how you overdraw your vitality to obtain real-time combat power, there is a formula. After repeated tests, the alliance has basically confirmed that only anti-aircraft guns above 88mm will be more effective, and 128mm is especially good.
No matter how small the caliber anti-aircraft gun is, it will be useless against the Twilight Dragon. For example, the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun will be useless against the Twilight Dragon.
This time, 70% of McDonald's wealth was placed on the southern coastline of Dragonblight.
Some people may ask, can't the fleet provide good air defense?
It's true.
Although some ships at sea have 150mm and 203mm dual-purpose high and low-level guns, the maximum elevation angle of those guns is 40 degrees. The rotation speed and the rate of fire of the guns are destined to be insufficient for air defense. The most they can do is to use canisters to stop the dragon group.
If a fight really breaks out, the Cleveland-class shipgirls may not be able to withstand it.
At this time, the twilight dragons who were hit by the [real* head-on blow] were obviously angered.
At least two hundred Twilight Dragons separated from the large army and dived towards the seaside artillery array.
"Woo-hoo--" The Twilight Dragon retracted its wings and swooped down, the sharp sound of the wind it made sounded like a Stuka bomber.
This is another difficulty...
As a technical branch, artillery is also difficult to train.
During the Battle of Twilight Bastion, Varian suffered a bitter taste when he let the anti-aircraft artillery unit attack the dragon group.
The results were there. Unfortunately, the artillery crew suffered too many losses, and in the end we ended up in the dilemma of having artillery but no artillery. King Wa had to shamelessly borrow Chapo's gunner.
Twilight dragons don’t need money, but training gunners requires money and time.
King Wa's heart was bleeding.
Here, Mr. Mai's family has a big business and cannot afford such waste.
Therefore, the first line of artillery formations is naturally given to sand sculpture players.
Before the war started, gunner Willy approached the leader of the Trident operation.
[Situ Yanpo] screamed: "What? Not only do we need to use large-caliber artillery for air defense, but we also need to have the ability to evacuate quickly?"
"This... am I still forcing myself to make things difficult for others?"
The Alliance's self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are only those models. The small-caliber [Dongfeng Type] and [Cyclone Type] are excluded. The remaining ones that meet the requirements, even the 88 gun, have a total weight of 5 tons and cannot be highly maneuverable.
Not to mention flak40, this thing weighs 17 tons.
It can't go any faster.
[Situ Yanpo] smiled evilly: "As long as the caliber is above 80mm, it will be fine?"
"yes……"
As a result, there was the following wonderful scene.
A bunch of tanks were parked on the slope, their muzzles pointing diagonally toward the sky.
As the saying goes, "If the elevation angle is not enough, use slopes to make up for it." What tanks can't do on flat ground can be done by leaning on slopes.
When the T-34's 85mm cannon still blasted into the sky, and with superhuman prediction, it perfectly captured the diving trajectory of the Twilight Dragon and knocked it down with a headshot, even Gunner Willy, the most famous artillery general in the alliance, was stunned.
I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth.
He can't even do this job!
Prejudging this kind of thing requires not only a lot of experience, but also strong intuition and familiarity with the opponent's artillery.
Willy can do it with a fixed anti-aircraft gun, but he really can't handle using a tank as an anti-aircraft gun.
Over there, I saw dragons swooping down.
The sand sculptures yelled: "The wind is tight, pulling and hooting——"
The T-34 tank, which had been running its engine, immediately ran away wildly.
In order to escape, these guys tilted the butt of the tank upward early in the morning, with the front of the vehicle facing the Longmian Temple.
This time, it really ran faster than a duck.
When the swooping Twilight Dragon was trying to flap its wings to adjust its dive angle, a strange scene happened.
Right in front of them, many trees appeared unexpectedly.
These green and towering trees are totally incompatible with this frozen and barren Dragon Bone Plain.
The only explanation is that a druid planted the tree here in advance, and then planted it to grow like this.
The Twilight Dragon didn't notice it because before they attacked, these sand sculptures had been using blowers to stir up snowflakes and asked Master Fa to help cover it up with illusions.
[Air Defense Tree] Once it appears, it can be said to be a trap for countless dragons.
These tree men, who had their own life and consciousness but short lifespan, dragged the twilight dragon that passed over their heads to the ground and beat and kicked it fiercely.
What [Tekken] anti-aircraft!
Why use human power to throw explosive packets fifty meters into the air to blow down the passing flying dragon?
He took out an elemental grenade from his crotch, threw it into the sky and knocked down the dragon again.
There are so many different things that the onlookers are speechless.
This is a fantasy world anyway, and the air defense methods of these guys are even more outrageous than the anti-Japanese drama.
To sum up: everything can be air-defended!
This time, not only did the main force withdraw, but it also effectively delayed the enemy.
Looking at the number of twilight dragons in the sky, Willy was faintly excited. If the enemy only had this number, it wouldn't be enough to fill his teeth.
At this moment, Willy sighed silently.
Sure enough it's not that simple.
In the distance, countless 'meteorites' cut through the sky with strange purple light, and suddenly fell down.
Old Alliance people are no stranger to this scene.
In the Burning Legion, this represents [Hellfire].
In the Cataclysm, this was the rampaging earth elemental creature.
When the first particularly huge meteorite plowed across the icy ground, it crashed into the slope where the artillery array was located a moment ago, splitting the entire hill in two.
Its momentum was so powerful that it attracted the bombardment of no less than ten artillery pieces as soon as it crawled out of the pit.
It was useless, it moved forward against the explosion and shock wave, and the cannonballs bombarded it, forming countless continuous pieces of elemental mist.
Ignoring the air waves that seemed to pierce the eardrums and tear everything apart, like a stormy sea, it came over as the vanguard general of the Twilight Army.
Willy yelled in the communication: "Find out what that thing is immediately!"
Suddenly, McDonald's voice sounded from another channel that was always on: "No need. I'll let the hero team pass."
This huge earth elemental leader is [Modruk]!
As the most powerful elemental creature under Deathwing, Mordrac was once a docile guardian. But now, he firmly believes that only by destroying Azeroth can he be saved.
Although Wyrmrest Temple in this life is no longer Azeroth's last hope against the Judgment of Twilight, he is simple-minded and obeys Neltharion's orders.
Over there, McDonald sighed softly when he saw the leader monster appear.
Immediately, three thousand sand sculpture players dressed in flying wing suits descended from the flying aircraft carrier and killed the Twilight Dragons.
Their [fragmentation bombs] will be an effective means of killing and delaying the dragons.
McDonald had already expected that the boss from the [Dragon Soul] dungeon in the game would appear here. What made him a little annoyed was that there was also a boss from the [Ruby Temple].
