After the four fighters of Thunder Squadron met with Ghost Squadron, they immediately began to maneuver.
Two Rafales began to climb upward, while the other two began to perform horizontal turning maneuvers.
As the elite squadron of the Asia Federation, Thunder obviously has rich experience in squadron-sized close combat.
At this time, the maneuvers they proactively adopt can keep their opponents in their field of vision as much as possible.
Every pilot knows that visual field management is very important in close combat.
It's like playing a game. One side of the CV cooperates with the banishment of the whole field to gain vision, while the other side's CV only targets the lone monkey on the sideline to gain average points. The banishment is to find a mountainside to smoke and prepare to wash away people——
When the skills of both sides are similar, it is not a question of whether they can fight or not. The side with vision has a huge advantage over the side without vision.
Just like in an air combat, it is useless to maintain a state where you can see the enemy but the enemy cannot see you.
At this point, the Ghost Squadron has the advantage, as they have a blind-angle view.
Even if the enemy plane is in their blind spot, they can clearly know the enemy plane's movement and attitude.
In this way, they can perform amazing counterattack operations, taking advantage of the enemy's slight relaxation when entering the blind spot, and suddenly adjust their posture to launch an attack. In all likelihood, the enemy aircraft will be shot down because they cannot react. p>
In short, seven fighter planes from two squadrons from both sides roared close to each other in the air, and then passed by each other.
Wang Yu keenly noticed the two fighters of the Thunder Squadron that were performing high maneuvers and raising their altitude.
Compared with the conventional response methods used by enemy aircraft, it is indeed a bit surprising that these two fighters dare to do this.
Climbing through the Immelmann maneuver is a process of exchanging speed for altitude, and this process is never easy to use first in a close combat with the enemy, because for fast missiles, this is a kind of
The attitude of "hanging meat".
When the missile saw the opponent climbing higher, it was really a Steam player who saw it -90%, that was an ecstasy.
But the situation is different now.
They dared to do this, perhaps because they noticed the way the Ghost Squadron maneuvered after the rendezvous.
Wang Yu and Luo Yu are maneuvering on the horizontal plane, and they will be restrained by enemy aircraft that are also maneuvering on the horizontal plane, so it is impossible to launch an attack on the two Rafale aircraft that are performing large turning maneuvers in the first place.
Murong Lan is indeed a threat. Although she climbed high before the rendezvous to wait for the opportunity, she only has one fighter plane after all, and it is located at a high position. If she has the intention to launch an attack, the posture of the fighter plane will change, and the attitude of the fighter plane will change.
It will be clearly seen by the pilots of the two Rafales, and they will be able to respond in advance.
To put it simply, after Wang Yu and Luo Yu made a horizontal circle, their main target was the more threatening enemy aircraft that had completed the horizontal turn, not them. Murong Lan could give an early warning, and they could also take the initiative to attack them.
During the climb, use your own missiles to launch probing attacks to drive away the former.
It is precisely because of this that they determined that there was not much threat in their climbing stage.
The squadron of Asia does have their two brushes.
But this is no longer important. What is important is that their climb has some restraint on the tactics of the Ghost Squadron.
In itself, the "tactic" Wang Yu and Luo Yu plan to use is an operation that combines the energy advantage of heavy combat and the excellent high-speed maneuverability of the two fighters.
After they pass the enemy plane head-on, they turn horizontally while pulling up, forming a single-loop maneuver with the enemy plane. At the expense of energy, they will fly higher than the enemy plane when they meet next. In other words, although their flight trajectories intersect with the enemy aircraft, there will be a height difference in the vertical direction.
Since the distance between the two sides is very close during single-loop maneuvers, if the enemy aircraft wants to launch an attack during this process, it must actively raise the nose of the aircraft to try to intercept the shooting window, but this window period is not long. For the Ghost Squadron,
Generally speaking, it can be easily avoided as long as the speed is controlled. On the contrary, the enemy will further lose speed due to climbing attacks.
If the enemy planes are smart, then they also know this, so their action is not to attack.
For an aircraft with full maneuverability like the Rafale, as long as it keeps flying, the two heavy fighters will sooner or later be killed by them.
But for Wang Yu and Luo Yu, if the enemy aircraft does not attack, it will play into their hands.
They can take advantage of the high altitude and smoothly move into the rear hemisphere of the enemy aircraft.
While the enemy is trying to turn again and seek the Ghost Squadron's vision, observe the enemy's flight trajectory, use the enemy's movements as a standard, use altitude, speed and distance to exchange turning radius, and cooperate with the continuous offensive barrel roll to shoot down the enemy. p>
In simple terms, it is a maneuver method that brings horizontal circular maneuvers to more complex spaces.
This type of maneuver targets the enemy's blind spot, and the fighter must have sufficient production capacity to achieve it, especially in the rolling phase after the high-level intersection. Otherwise, when you turn slowly, the enemy plane will have already adjusted.
direction and launch an attack, this is equivalent to directly destroying the advantage currently held.
It can be said that when facing enemy aircraft entering a dogfight, this method can provide some advantages when fighting is necessary.
But the current situation is different from what was imagined. The enemy is not maneuvering horizontally at the same time, but there are two enemy planes that are also climbing, climbing even more powerfully, and they have their field of vision.
So this tactic is not so feasible.
The enemy can easily find countermeasures.
The scene was a little tense for a moment - at this time the pilot had to choose a response method in just a few seconds.
Murong Lan naturally saw this scene from high altitude, and she immediately made her own judgment - she saw her fighter plane turned over lightly and then rushed down at high speed, but her target was not the two climbing enemy planes at all, but the enemy planes that were climbing up.
Wang Yu and the other enemy planes who were performing horizontal maneuvers took advantage of their turning position and used high speed to defeat low speed and fast speed to slow down, disrupting their formation.

Wang Yu and Luo Yu also immediately understood Murong Lan's intention, so they also quickly adjusted their tactics. The two fighter planes immediately switched postures and changed their main targets. At this time, they had to kill the two enemy planes that had just climbed up and were not very fast.
Eliminate them first.
The two enemy fighter planes that were climbing quickly leveled off and came sideways towards Wang Yu and Luo Yu's fighters. The other two enemy planes below, which had almost completed their turn, also began to maneuver to deal with Murong Lan.<
/p>
Due to Murong Lan's disruption, they were temporarily unable to regroup and attack Wang Yu and Luo Yu, so they did not pose a threat for the time being. With Murong Lan's delay, they could gain valuable two-on-two time for Wang Yu and Luo Yu.
.
Wang Yu and Luo Yu quickly established a radar lock on the enemy aircraft.
At this time, it was no longer the time to save ammunition. He directly fired a series of cannons at one of the Rafale fighters without hesitation.
Within a range of only about three kilometers between the two sides, the cannon can already pose a substantial threat. On the contrary, in the short period of time when the missile captures the target on the guidance head and can be launched, the distance between the two sides may have been reduced to
The minimum range of the missile will be locked by the fire control of the fighter plane. At this time, it is not even as useful as the cannon.
However, the enemy pilot had a clear idea. Although Wang Yu's firing action was not obvious, the enemy stepped on the rudder sideways to escape Wang Yu's cannon firing range at the moment he fired. At the same time, he directly fired an infrared combat bomb at Wang Yu.
Fight back.
Wang Yu had indeed been staring at the enemy plane, so when Irene issued a warning, he had given up on continuing to forcefully open the cannon's firing window. A large-radius barrel roll combined with the ejection of heat decoys allowed the missile to
Passed by myself.
"What a risk."
Luo Yu, who was next to her, also exchanged a wave of attacks with the enemy planes. She couldn't help but whisper: "Be careful."
"It's okay, it just looks thrilling." Wang Yu said as the two sides met the enemy again, "It's so close that the speed of his missiles can't be increased. I can easily avoid it by maneuvering in a small area."
Below them, Murong Lan and two other enemy planes were already fighting - Murong Lan wanted to delay, and the enemy planes also wanted to continue the fight if they could shoot down one first, so the two sides started attacking each other directly.<
/p>
The battle below was also very lively, and the enemy was of a good level. Even though he had to dive to avoid losing a little altitude due to Murong Lan's attack, he later regrouped due to the flexibility and power of the gust. "Her situation is not very good, one against two."
"Believe her, but we have to deal with this opponent as soon as possible." Luo Yu said in the channel.
"I know that the enemy is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Wang Yu replied immediately.
At this time, the war situation has turned into two battlefields, paying attention to each other.
After Wang Yu and Luo Yu completed their second encounter with the enemy plane, they turned back towards the enemy.
This time, Wang Yu and Luo Yu did not choose other maneuvers. Instead, at the moment of the intersection, they accurately judged the enemy's adjustment direction through the attitude of the enemy's fighter aircraft, and then continued the enemy's horizontal maneuver.
In fact, no matter what mode of close combat, single/double rings are the most basic thing, and no matter what the following things are, whether it is raising or lowering, or pointing at the enemy aircraft through various means, they are actually inseparable.
Understand these basic concepts.
Both sides completed the turn quickly, but the aerodynamic layout of Wang Yu and Luo Yu's fighter planes did not have an advantage in this single loop, so the enemy plane completed the turn faster and had a very short time to recover a little speed.
Speaking of which, after the second intersection, due to the different performance of the two fighters, Wang Yu must have turned much slower than Luo Yu. Therefore, in order to prevent collision due to the overlap of flight paths during the turn, it was also to increase the
Due to their flexibility in battle, their two-plane formation is no longer as close as before, and is about two kilometers away from each other.
The same goes for enemy planes, so this time they must choose their attack targets.
Wang Yu quickly determined the target of his and Luo Yu's current attack, and at the same time, he fine-tuned the nose of the aircraft to complete the radar lock.
Luo Yu responded, and then chose another enemy plane as his target.
The enemy plane was the first to pull out of the window, and even if the two sides were only seconds away from meeting again, they would launch a wave of attacks.
The enemy planes are really good at timing.
Wang Yu has not encountered a character of this level for a long time.
It seems like it will take some effort.
But then I thought about it, Asia doesn't have too many pilots like this, and killing them would cause a serious blow to their morale.
"Attention!"
The radar warning has not been quiet since just now. Although Wang Yu knew that Luo Yu must pay attention, he still reminded him.
"I understand, I'm just waiting for the enemy to fire."
Luo Yu quickly replied: "Believe me and leave it to me."
When she said this, Wang Yu thought for a moment and immediately understood that she was going to do something.
Luo Yu's fighter plane was steady. She continued to turn without losing speed, trying to point her nose in the direction of the enemy plane as much as possible. She also did not choose any missile on the pylon.
Because she knew it was not necessary in this situation, she just stared at the opponent's approaching machine, and at the same time adjusted the mode to cannon, with her finger on the trigger...
Although the enemy didn't know why Luo Yu was locked and still refused to dodge, they had already entered the best attack window.
The enemy plane still fired the missile without hesitation.
A missile was launched from the pylon under the wing of the enemy aircraft, trailing a white power stage trail and accelerating.
The distance is just right, very extreme.
Pilot Aisiya knew that the Su-37 he targeted was unable to dodge the missile.
He has seen his opponent fall.

At this time, Luo Yu was waiting for this opportunity.
Never take a shot, but once you take a shot, you must hit it with one hit.
Her attention was highly concentrated, and the moment she saw the flash of light from the missile under the opponent's fuselage, she suddenly pulled the operating lever, causing the fighter's nose to quickly rise and point in front of her in an instant.<
/p>
At the same time, her slender but powerful fingers quickly pressed down and pulled the trigger. The Su-37's 30mm cannon began to roar the moment the enemy missile left the frame, and a series of high-range and high-power cannon shells fired from the side of the fuselage.
The machine gun's firing port poured out.
The enemy aircraft was naturally not a fuel-efficient light. He knew that his opponent was definitely planning to catch him by surprise, so he began to evade the moment the opponent's cannon fired.
Obviously, in his view, the Su-37's window opening like this would not only fail to hit him, but would actually destroy him.
However, Luo Yu's goal from the beginning was not to hit the Rafale fighter, but...
Not long after the missile that the enemy had just launched left its pylon and was still accelerating, it encountered four or five consecutive 30mm artillery shells. The smooth outer skin of the missile was blown to pieces by the cannon in an instant.
, the explosives inside, whether it was the guidance head or the warhead, also exploded due to the frontal impact of the cannon.
A ball of fire exploded directly in front of the enemy plane. The huge flames did not cause any damage to the target that was supposed to be attacked.
"What the hell is this?!"
The pilot of this enemy plane was stunned. He couldn't believe what he saw.
The missile fired at Luo Yu was directly exploded by her cannon.
What is this? Have you installed Phalanx on your fighter plane?!
The fragments produced by the explosion, due to the extremely close distance, even caused some damage to the Rafale. The pilot had no way to avoid the flame cloud of the explosion in front of him, so he had no choice but to fly past the flame cloud. p>
At the same time, he heard several unpleasant noises coming from the fuselage.
When he looked back, he saw that there were several smoking holes on his wings, and part of the movable wing surface was also incomplete. If it weren't for the protection of the cockpit, and the fact that he had narrowly avoided it,
The scope of the main explosion, otherwise he would have turned into wreckage and fallen to the ground like the pilots who were shot down before.
Asia's ace pilot was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.
Almost at the same time, the Su-37 fighter piloted by Luo Yu turned on its afterburners and took advantage of the visual interference caused by the flame cloud to pass by the enemy aircraft that was still in a state of surprise at high speed and complete the intersection.<
/p>
The enemy was stunned at this moment, and he did not even immediately re-adjust his direction and enter a new round of circular maneuvers.
Luo Yu's eyes were extremely serious at this moment: "Next, the outcome will be decided in one move."
