In the true sense, close combat, or dog fighting, is always an inevitable part of air combat within visual range.
Fortunately, Wang Yu and the others used their special weapons to cause enough damage to the drones. If they only relied on Wang Yu's five fighters and twenty drones to enter the close combat, then
Undoubtedly terrifying.
Drones also have an advantage over human pilots in that they have no fear.
For example, if the opponent is a flying group with twenty fighter jets, and they lose more than half of their teammates in an instant, the morale of the remaining pilots will inevitably collapse.
Even if they won't retreat because of this, they won't be able to fight with all their strength in the subsequent battle.
Facing a powerful enemy, there will inevitably be some fear in human hearts - and once one of them is shot down in the process, this fear will be immediately maximized, allowing them to be embraced directly.
And disperse.
But drones are different.
The intelligence of drones is not artificial intelligence with thoughts like the settings in those science fiction movies. To put it bluntly, it is just a code core constructed using pure logic - but this gives drones an advantage.
, after they have set a goal, they will complete it at any cost.
In the process of attacking the target, any damage to oneself will not be considered.
Not to mention that half of the friendly forces were shot down, even if half of their drones themselves were broken off, as long as the system is still functioning normally, they will use their last breath to launch the missiles towards the target.
This puts a certain amount of pressure on pilots fighting drones. After completing a successful attack, they must also pay attention to whether the drone was really shot down. If they just "feel" they shot down the drone
If he doesn't go after the last hit, the pilot will capsize in the gutter...
As for why Wang Yu knew this, it was mainly due to the friendly reports he heard on the channel just now.
A friendly force fired a missile, causing the drone to emit black smoke and then ignored it. However, unexpectedly, the drone raised its head and fired a Deathrattle missile towards him. If it hadn't been for him
If the drone girl warned him early, then this guy might actually be killed from the sky by the desperate attempt of the drone.
Therefore, before entering the close combat with the drone, Wang Yu reminded those fighting alongside him to be careful.
Although there are not many drones left, Wang Yu and the others do not intend to relax their vigilance against these things, but decide to shoot them all down with all their strength - just as the early warning aircraft intelligence officer said before
, who knows if there are other Asia drones coming behind these drones.
The facts proved that Wang Yu's decision was correct.
As the two sides entered into close combat, everyone discovered the true horror of these drones.
Powerful power, exquisite aerodynamic characteristics, excellent flight control logic, and a solid fuselage jointly create the biggest feature of this drone - its maneuverability comparable to that of a UFO.
The "mobility" of a fighter aircraft in the popular sense, in addition to the common standards such as speed and responsiveness, also has two standards: instantaneous control and stable control. The former refers to the ability of the fighter's nose to move within a controllable degree in a short period of time.
Pointing adjustment performance, the latter refers to the fighter's ability to maintain stable hovering at a fixed speed - and now, Wang Yu discovered that this drone seems to be very good at both points, especially its instantaneous maneuverability, which is simply
To describe it as crazy.
He watched a drone pass by his fighter plane. Just as he was switching his fighter plane to forward-swept wing mode and preparing to enter a single-loop maneuver with the drone, he discovered that the drone
The aircraft completed the turn at an "acute angle" maneuver that was basically impossible, and began to head directly towards the largest projection surface of the back of the aircraft...
The overload at that moment must have exceeded more than ten G. Wang Yu asked himself that if he pulled out this maneuver, he would definitely be temporarily comatose. Basically, no human pilot could be gifted to this extent.
Wang Yu had to immediately adjust his fuselage to avoid it, but the drone chased after him and bit him in the rear.
This kind of maneuverability cannot be circumvented by human-piloted fighter planes.
These drones are so powerful here that they are indeed a problem.
But fortunately, drones also have shortcomings.
After a short analysis, Wang Yu and others saw the huge disadvantages of drones.
That is, after they have fixed their eyes on a target, they will continue to attack the target unless there are special circumstances, and will not adjust the target according to the situation on the battlefield. It is true that for ordinary pilots, it is almost difficult to escape a target.
The enemy plane was following behind and trying to launch an attack, which was definitely a very oppressive thing.
But for the pilots in Gensokyo, the drones following behind do not pose much of a threat. They can easily change their flight posture to escape the drone attack when they want to complete the attack.
Cover line.
In this way, they can hang the drone behind them to attack other targets.
During the battle, Wang Yu and his comrades immediately summarized a set of procedures based on the characteristics of the drone, that is, do not compete with the drone for maneuverability. You will definitely not be able to compete with it.
When encountering drones, you should protect yourself while adjusting your attack targets. Target the drones that are tracking your teammates, and then let other teammates follow the same principle to attack the drones behind you.
Solve it.
This requires excellent flying skills and absolute trust in the skills of his teammates, and Wang Yu and the others lack this the most.
Therefore, although there are two drones hanging behind Wang Yu's fighter plane that are constantly biting their tails and making it difficult to get rid of the drones that are constantly trying to launch attacks, he still does not intend to use his maneuverability to get around the two drones.
, but went directly to help Luo Yu deal with the drone behind her fighter plane.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And Luo Yu is naturally willing to create opportunities for him.
When Wang Yu passed the attack window in a very short period of time, she immediately entered a stable flight, and the two drones immediately recognized Luo Yu's maneuver and immediately slowed down to start attacking, but
Their slowing down gave Wang Yu an opportunity. He first killed one with an electromagnetic cannon, and then killed another with a combat bomb.
There are a total of two close combat bombs on the X-02S, which are used for such occasions.
Wang Yu's speed did not slow down at all after completing the attack - he was followed by two drones, while Luo Yu immediately did a high YoYo after the pursuer was shot down, climbed up and then dived down, from where Wang Yu was originally
The position in front of the fighter jet reached high altitude behind Wang Yu's fighter jet.
In this way, we can launch an attack on the drone tracking Wang Yu.
Wang Yu heard an explosion from behind him and knew that a drone had been taken care of by Luo Yu.
Luo Yu didn't need to deliberately create any opportunities for her when using the missile, so he could maintain his original maneuver. So when Luo Yu launched an attack on the second drone, he controlled the fighter plane and used the recharge
The powerful electromagnetic gun launched an attack on a drone that was intercepting other friendly fighter aircraft.
When the second drone behind Wang Yu was blown up by Luo Yu's missile, the drone that intercepted friendly forces also fell from the sky.
His and Luo Yu's dual-plane combat coordination has reached such an almost perfect level.
Murong Lan, who had been being tracked by the drone, could only mutter something like "I was the one who cooperated with Luo Yu back then, not you, a scumbag", and the channel was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.
Looking at the other two-plane squadron, they also showed off their own special abilities - compared to Wang Yu and others who dealt with the pursuers cleanly, these two seemed to be playing a game.
The two fighter planes were constantly "playing" with the drones chasing behind them, making these drones even look a little "tired". Their maneuvers forced the drones to continuously accelerate and decelerate while cooperating with various wastes of energy.
Only by maneuvering can we keep tracking them, and in the process, the drone's fuel and ammunition are also consumed to a great extent.
The drones tracking them soon ran out of fuel, and they could only shoot through the remaining ammunition before losing power completely, but there was no way this attack would hit.
The drones that have exhausted their ammunition and fuel naturally cannot become a threat. Although they are required to launch an attack under the program requirements, they have no means of attack - perhaps the drone program has never encountered this kind of attack.
After a long time of trying to defeat the target, these drones lost power and glided down towards the sea.
Perhaps if the Empire acted faster, it would be possible to recover one or two drones that had run out of fuel for analysis.
In short, the situation on Wang Yu's side is obviously developing in a good direction.
The drone group they are responsible for has suffered heavy damage. Although the remaining ones are still launching attacks due to the requirements of the program, they will not be able to fly for long and will soon be shot down.
After leaving the last drone to the squadron and Murong Lan to deal with, the two fighter planes Wang Yu and Luo Yu climbed to high altitude again.
He began to listen to friendly channels to see if there were any special changes in the situation.
The situation here in Gensokyo is normal. Although the friendly forces do not have special weapons like theirs, they can still kill these drones with their own flying skills.
Except for the fact that these drones surprised everyone in Gensokyo with their top-notch judgment at the beginning and their incredible maneuverability in close combat, the rest seemed a bit unremarkable.
Only one unlucky guy was slightly injured while fighting the drone.
But he can't blame others. He forgot to avoid the wreckage of the falling drone during the melee, so he was scratched by a fragment and took away his wingtip...
However, just because everything is normal here in Gensokyo, it does not mean that the battles with other friendly forces are also going on normally.
Through the channel and inquiring about the early warning aircraft, Wang Yu learned about the bad situation of the friendly forces.
The friendly forces that were attacking other drone groups in the other two airspaces have begun to suffer losses - even if they do not need to face fifty drones with eighteen fighter planes like Gensokyo, they themselves are
Insufficient technology and the lack of all-round situational awareness like drone girls make them somewhat powerless when faced with the entanglement of drones.
Although some drones were shot down with the initial attack, as the drones came up, they lacked the coordination skills of the Gensokyo Brigade, so they were overwhelmed by the drone swarm, and they gradually began to have fighters.
was shot down.
Fortunately, drones also have no interest in killing pilots. The pilots of the Imperial fighter jets that were hit were able to parachute, and the Imperial search and rescue teams were able to rescue them.
However, parachuting in this chaotic airspace is still a very dangerous thing.
Wang Yu couldn't help but shook his head: "...We won't be needed to support friendly forces later."
"You sound like you hate iron instead of steel?" Luo Yu asked curiously.
"A bit, I always feel that with so many friendly forces fighting against Asia's drones, it shouldn't be slower than the speed at which we solve all the targets, but I didn't expect them to be so..."
"Don't complain, we are expected to face the Aisiya air fortress later." Luo Yu said comfortingly: "We need the maximum number of friendly forces, and we cannot let them be helpless in the battle with the Aisiya drones.
A sacrifice of meaning.”
"What you said makes sense, but we can't always help our teammates do everything." Wang Yu sighed: "The Aisians have drones that can directly replace their ordinary pilots and do better than ordinary pilots.
"
"I understand what you mean, but now it's better for those who are able to work harder," Luo Yu said.
"Maybe that's all it can do."
Soon, all the UAV groups responsible for the Gensokyo Squadron were shot down. However, the main reason for the Gensokyo Squadron was the relatively large consumption of ammunition and fuel, which cost one fighter plane a slight injury.
"Early Warning Aircraft, this is the Gensokyo Brigade. All the drones have been shot down. Our airspace is safe." Captain Zhang began to gather all the team members and reported to the early warning aircraft: "We are in very good condition.
Is there anything else we need to do?”
"Where's your fuel and ammo remaining?"
"Some fighter planes are running out of fuel and ammunition."
"Then let those fighters return to the supply line to resupply, and the rest will go to friendly forces as soon as possible to support them. We need to get rid of all the Aisiya drones as soon as possible, because their air fortress is about to appear. When that thing appears,
We need to gather all our air power as quickly as possible to attack it."
"It seems that your guess is correct. We are indeed asked to support our teammates." Luo Yu said to Wang Yu.
"He who is capable has to work hard." Wang Yu replied, imitating Luo Yu's previous tone.
