In a general sense, beyond-visual-range air combat often begins with missiles being thrown at each other and ends with visual contact between the two sides.
Of course, this process is not dead, that is, a beyond-visual-range air combat may not really end with a battle within visual range. There will be many variables in the entire process. For example, if one side fails to dodge the missile of the other side, it will end.
Being knocked down from the sky is another way to end a beyond-visual-range air combat.
But generally speaking, it is indeed difficult for both sides with equivalent and excellent skills to achieve effective results during the missile throwing stage.
As for the over-the-horizon battle where the skills are equal but novices are pecking each other, that is another matter. In this case, both sides are very likely to die together. For example, one side shot down the opponent but did not avoid the missile launched by the opponent.
of……
During the entire mid-range beyond visual range battle, both sides repeated the process of locking the enemy - launching missiles - emergency evasion - recovering energy - locking the enemy. Between the two key nodes of emergency evasion and energy recovery, the two sides would meet.
Use these times when the threat is less severe to adjust your flight posture and think of other means of attack while constantly approaching your opponent.
As long as both sides fail to fall during the entire process, and the entire air combat situation requires efficiency first and a fight to the death - just to illustrate the extreme situation of air combat, combat under normal conditions is extremely variable, then the battle is inevitable
It will develop to the moment when it can face the opponent's fighter plane.
But now, the pilots from the empire are going to have a direct confrontation with the pilots from Asia within visual range.
Although the Aisians were tragically killed by their opponents three times in the process of getting closer - in addition to the first one they encountered, Luo Yu later took advantage of the faster charging speed of her electromagnetic gun and took advantage of it.
He took the initiative to attack an enemy plane while avoiding Murong Lan's missiles and was very passive, and shot down another enemy plane.
Of course, it was the enemy who was stupid. After dodging the missile, he started to climb up in order to restore energy. This time he became a target. As a result, when he was smashed to pieces by the electromagnetic gun, he didn't realize what his mistake was...
…
It is a pity that his death gave the people of Aisia enough reminder - the captain of Aisia's flying team briefly thought about the previous battle and immediately realized that his dead teammates were all maintaining a stable flight trajectory.
He was killed under certain circumstances, and the opponent used a long-range kinetic unguided attack weapon.
Combined with the information about Stonehenge he learned in the briefing before departure, it is not difficult to imagine that the Imperial Air Force installed electromagnetic guns on fighter planes to use them in air combat - but it is not clear which army the opponent is.
If it was said that an ordinary Imperial Air Force had fighter planes that could carry airborne electromagnetic guns, then he would not believe it.
The opponent will definitely start with Asia's elite troops, and may even be the ace.
This Aisian pilot has not yet obtained enough kills. In the previous northern war, he and his squadron guarded the Empire in the western waters of Aisia, so he did not have time to melee the results, so he felt a little uneasy facing an opponent who might be an ace.
, when I first joined the battle with the empire and encountered such a strong opponent, there was a kind of golden boy who clicked on random matching and found that everyone who parachuted had the beauty of hunting exhaust.
But after all, he is also a capable quasi-ace, and he has achieved certain results by attacking small neighboring countries before, so he was just worried but not panicked. After understanding the weapons used by his opponents, he immediately conveyed the news on the channel
.
He reminded his teammates that even if they are not facing the threat of opponent's missiles, they should keep maneuvering as much as possible. At the same time, it is best not to be too regular in the maneuvering process and not allow the enemy to predict it. In short, it is "flying out of emotion."
So his teammates were a little confused, but they still understood some things, so even if they avoided the missiles thrown by the opponent - referring to Murong Lan - they still remained slightly unstable in the process of approaching and recovering energy.
Changes in rules.
This is indeed a good strategy to deal with Wang Yu and the others.
However, they didn't know that the electromagnetic gun couldn't be fired continuously, and there would be no threat until they officially entered the visual range fighting, so they looked a little stupid while climbing with Parkinson's maneuvers.
On Wang Yu's side, after the electromagnetic gun was recharged, he found that the enemies were almost close to each other, so he stopped attacking for the time being and planned to save the attack until the enemies were closer, for example, both sides "
"Integrity" when facing an enemy, and then directly use the electromagnetic gun to kill an enemy instantly. This may give the enemy more shock than a long-distance kill.
The situation on Murong Lan's side is a bit more complicated.
The Aisian missiles flew towards her, forcing her to switch to an emergency defensive maneuver, but that was not the problem. The problem was that the enemy's attack was not an emergency counterattack in an emergency, but a planned three-attack attack.
The first shot suppressed the energy of Murong Lan's fighter, the second shot forced her not to switch to recovery maneuvers, and the purpose of the third shot was to achieve a kill - so Murong Lan had to make an emergency turn into a reverse dive after assessing the situation.
Slowing down the relative speed between her and the missile as much as possible, while rushing towards the sea, luring the subsequent deadly missile that was positioned before the attack fighter plane flew into the sea.
This is a good way to avoid missiles. Without sea, you can rely on the ground or terrain to avoid missiles.
Of course she succeeded. In other words, although the enemy's missile threat was strong enough, the pilot from Gensokyo Squadron would not capsize in the gutter. She just controlled the fighter plane and guided the missile to the sea one mile away.
It doesn't have any intelligence. It only knows that the hit point in its calculation is below the sea level, so it simply rushes towards the sea surface and is done.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Murong Lan was sure that all missile threats had been eliminated and was about to start climbing, he found that the Asia fighter jets had appeared in his field of vision.
.
Based on the machine girl's observation from all angles, she knew the current movements of the Aisians.
Of the eight fighters on the front, five were left after being hit by the electromagnetic cannon. Three of them pounced directly on Wang Yu and Luo Yu, who were maintaining supersonic speed at an altitude of about 6,000 meters, while the other two swooped down and ran towards them.
So she went.
She had to cheer up and be ready for a one versus two fight.
At the same time, Wang Yu and Luo Yu, who were high in the air, were also waiting for the most suitable opportunity to attack the enemy.
Although I have written so much before... I mean that both sides carried out a lot of attacks and defenses, but the entire air battle only took one minute from the beginning of the enemy contact to the present.
The two squadrons of Needle and Stinger that circled on both sides have just begun to contact Asia. They are preparing to exchange missiles with the enemy squadron on the side. The two squadrons of Vanguard and Mistral in the rear have just completed a simple formation.
We are preparing to head towards the frontal battlefield.
While these four friendly squadrons were still "fighting", Polaris had already taken the lead in killing three of its opponents and was about to enter close combat to kill the remaining five. This development was rapid.
So this is why air combat is the most rapidly changing battle.
Compared with the army's life-and-death tug-of-war that lasts for several days or the navy's lethargic missile exchange, an air battle can basically decide the outcome within twenty minutes, no matter how intense and anxious the battlefield is.
In short, back to the frontal battlefield, the three Asian fighters rushed towards Wang Yu and Luo Yu at high speed. Their afterburners were turned to the maximum, and an engine pushed the plump and round F-35 fighter to break through the speed of sound.
limit.
Captain Asia speculated that the electromagnetic gun weapon is a weapon that must maintain a stable launch platform when attacking, so the overall strategic thinking should be based on a new scout - simply speaking, it is a sniper attack from behind.
Fighting without forward thinking, and when they get close to each other and use high-speed maneuvers to displace the opponent's launch platform, that means the fighter planes cannot maintain aiming and stability for a long time, then the opponent's threat can be minimized.
Moreover, he also believes that a fighter aircraft that can carry electromagnetic gun weapons will not be a very flexible light fighter, but some kind of powerful heavy fighter aircraft that can carry weapons of this size and maintain launch performance, so when
After their F-35s get close, they can use their maneuverability to continuously play with the opponent's bulky fighter jets, and finally kill the opponent calmly.
If Wang Yu knew his thoughts, he would probably be happy for a long time.
Not to mention that the electromagnetic gun is instant-fire. The entire weapon structure is basically integrated with the fuselage. It does not require any stability at the moment of firing. As long as it is aimed, it has the same properties as a machine gun. It is just the crazy maneuverability of the X-02S.
Performance is something that basically all fighters cannot match - the high and low speed performance brought by the folding knife wing is simply a black technology.
So when Captain Asia actually fights face to face, the outcome will most likely be that Wang Yu lifts the overload limit of the fighter plane, and then uses a high angle of attack maneuver to stop him.
Electromagnetic guns are used in melee combat by pointing the muzzle at the enemy and then firing.
Usually we call this style of play a sniper attack.
In short, Asia's captain pounced on the wrong opponent with the wrong impression.
Not to mention anything else, these three fighters all turned their afterburners to the maximum. Although they felt that they were doing the right thing, when the afterburners were fully turned on, the pitch black F-35 broke through the sound barrier.
The sonic booms and sonic boom clouds also look very cool, but from a God's perspective, it feels like "Hey! I'll give you a bowl of noodles."
Commonly known as rushing up to die.
Of course, you can't actually laugh at him.
Let’s not talk about how many mistakes there are in his thinking. It is very difficult to come to this conclusion without knowing the characteristics of the airborne electromagnetic gun system. After all, it is indeed impossible to observe only three attacks and rely solely on imagination.
We can only draw a similar conclusion. This Asia pilot does have the ability to think. He just didn't expect that the Empire did have Gundam.
The Aisians were not out of ideas. At least they still remembered their opponent's weapon system, so they maintained the close rate as much as possible while constantly "swaying" the flight trajectory of the fighter plane in the vertical plane.
It's just that as the distance gets closer, the time it takes for the electromagnetic gun to hit is greatly shortened. The efficiency of such small-amplitude maneuvers is ultimately limited.
"Then, let's complete one more shootdown before the official rendezvous."
Wang Yu said to Luo Yu, and at the same time he decided on the next tactical direction: "The two of us will attack a target together. You interfere with his flight first, and then I will shoot it down. As expected, their remaining fighting opportunities will
To suppress our launch of missiles, we are prepared to avoid their head-on attack."
Luo Yu said she understood, she activated the weapon and said she could start at any time.
The distance between the two sides is currently approaching at about twice the speed of sound, and the remaining ten nautical miles will only take a few seconds. So Wang Yu aimed at the enemy plane's flight path and the enemy plane's position after Luo Yu's attack, and issued the command
Attack instructions.
Luo Yu pulled the trigger, and an electromagnetic gun roared out.
After a one-second delay, Wang Yu fired his own airborne electromagnetic gun.
Two metal projectiles in tandem hit an enemy aircraft in the Asia squadron at several times the speed of sound. A few seconds later, Luo Yu's shell arrived first, and it passed by the Asia fighter plane -
- The evasion of the Aisiya people did have a certain effect, making it impossible to predict the miss, but the astonishing power of this close-range electromagnetic gun and the shock wave it carried did interfere with the Aisiya fighter plane, causing the latter to miss the target.
The fuselage shook at high frequency with the agitation of the air.
In a very short period of time, the Aisian fell into a dilemma that he could no longer evade, and just as he broke free from the small turbulence caused by the electromagnetic gun shell, he faced another electromagnetic gun.
At that time, the fighter plane had a certain angle of attack, and the nose of the aircraft was raised, so the hard-core metal jet formed by the electromagnetic artillery shell was directly injected from the middle of the air inlet under the fuselage, and shot out from the widest part of the back of the aircraft, hitting Ai
Fortunately for the West Asian pilots, there was no explosion this time. With a crisp sound and a flash of sparks, the fighter plane was directly dismembered from the middle.
The nose part and the fuselage part were divided into two parts. Under the action of the existing inertia, it climbed upwards for tens of meters, and then began to fall downwards. At this time, a flash of light appeared from the nose part of the plane with only the cockpit left.
, a burst of fire propelled an ejection seat into the sky, and eventually became a parachute floating in mid-air.
This set of joint attacks completed by Wang Yu and Luo Yu made the Aisiya people dumbfounded. One blocked the position and the other killed. This tacit understanding was amazing. Now the Aisiya captain understood what he was facing.
It is indeed the ace squadron of the empire. No--before the first wave of encounters was completed, there were only four of the eight fighters left...
This is really desperate. He has been listening to his own camp's channel. It seems that there has not been a team with such battle losses as him. Less than ten minutes after the battle started, he lost four members, which made his mentality
explode.
As a result, the remaining two fighter planes jointly launched a large number of missiles towards Wang Yu and Luo Yu.
It’s really like free of charge, one shot after another.
However, their attack was ineffective against the two people who had been prepared for it.
The next second, the distance between the two sides was about 1.5 nautical miles.
