When Wang Yu's missile roared out, instructor Xu also fired at him almost at the same time.
The incoming missile forced Wang Yu to evade immediately after firing for a moment.
He pulled the throttle lever back and turned off the afterburner at the same time. He made a barrel roll by pressing the lever to the side and rear, allowing the fighter to fly away from a straight line while maintaining speed. At the same time, he dropped a large number of heat decoys on the flight path to slow down.
Falling slowly.
Compared with head-on fighters with afterburner turned off, for infrared fighting bombs, the infrared reflection produced by heat decoy bombs is stronger, so after a slight adjustment of the direction of the fighting bomb, it decisively abandoned the required effort.
The fighter plane, which had to pay more to continue tracking, rushed straight towards the slowly falling heat-decoy bombs.
The first missile fired towards the opponent did not have much effect because the fighters on both sides were flying in opposite directions and approaching at high speed. They could easily get rid of it by simply breaking away from the original flight plane and using a thermal decoy bomb.
, before the two fighters officially met, the fighting bombs fired at each other exhausted their energy and fell to the ground.
Also because both sides were conducting small-scale maneuvers, the simulated "cannon" failed to achieve a hit.
The distance between the two sides has narrowed to the point where it is not suitable for the use of any weapons.
Naturally, you can't forcefully open the window at this time, because the distance of a few hundred meters is really instant for the fighter, leaving no time for the pilot to adjust. If you force the attack, it will be easy to hit it directly.
No matter whether it is assessment or actual combat, no one wants to have a mid-air collision accident.
Immediately afterwards, fighter planes from both sides passed by each other in a back-to-back posture within a distance of less than 100 meters.
At the moment when they passed each other, Wang Yu seemed to see instructor Xu looking at him and nodding.
"Give me his movements!"
At the moment of the intersection, Wang Yu said loudly.
He was not only talking to Liu Lingxin, but also to Irene.
Liu Lingxin immediately tried her best to look back and sideways.
Instructor Xu's fighter is a two-seater F-15 trainer, which has similar performance to the F-15E, but the radar uses the same AN/APG-63 as the F-15C, so at this time, there is no
It is necessary to decide whether to enter a single-loop or double-loop maneuver with the opponent based on the difference between the two aircraft models. It is best to turn in advance to gain an advantage.
At the most appropriate moment when they were passing by each other, Wang Yu decisively began to turn sideways in advance.
His time card was extremely accurate. Not only did he not let Instructor Xu notice his intentions, it also allowed him to complete the turn faster than Instructor Xu. At the same time, he also avoided making a large cross-section before the intersection due to advanced turns.
Exposed to Instructor Xu, he could easily decelerate and turn into a single loop and bite the risk of his own back six.
Again, turning in advance is also a technical job.
Being late is useless, being early is equivalent to giving six points to the enemy
He has sufficient research on the maneuvering strategy when turning to this intersection in advance.
When he first arrived at the Sha Island base, in the simulated battle with Wolf Fire, he relied on early steering to gain an advantage at the beginning of the battle after the first round of encounters, and finally successfully won the cross-level battle.
Maybe it’s because of family inheritance, or maybe it’s because of the innate intuition for aerial combat.
He just knows when is the best time to start maneuvering.
Although it is easy to say, this can actually be classified into a large category called "air combat situational awareness".
"Awesome!"
Instructor Xu made no secret of his admiration. Even though he was a step slower, he quickly started to maneuver.
Wang Yu, who had already begun to turn, took advantage of his visual field advantage by having the drone and the back seat to help him observe, and judged that Instructor Xu was turning in the same direction as himself, which meant that they were entering a single-loop maneuver. The so-called single-loop maneuver means that two fighter planes fly in opposite directions and turn in one direction at the same time after the first intersection. In this way, when they meet for the second time, their flight trajectories form a circle, so it is called a single-loop maneuver.
Maneuver.
The double-loop maneuver is naturally easy to understand, that is, after the first round of intersection, the two sides fly in different directions. When they meet again, the flight trajectory is an "∞" shape with two rings, so it is called a double-loop maneuver.
It is not a very wise move to fight with double rings when the speed is already slow, so use a single ring to shorten the distance between the two sides as much as possible to compress Wang Yu's shooting window. It is best to take advantage of the situation and turn the battle into a battle between the two machines.
Scissor fighting is the wisest.
According to the closing rate and turning speed, Wang Yu should be able to get the first shot in the first round, but when both sides are F-15s, this first shot does not have much advantage, and may not even have a large shooting window. p>
As the angle changed, Wang Yu's fighter radar locked onto Instructor Xu's fighter plane again.
It's just that although the yellow light indicating locking is displayed at this time, because the off-axis angle is too large, no normal pilot will be willing to launch the missile at this time, which is a waste.
But many times, launching missiles is not just to hit, but has many deeper meanings.
Wang Yu pointed the nose of the aircraft as far forward as possible in the direction of Instructor Xu's flight, and then pressed the weapon release button one after another.
In this assessment, the F-15E used a 6+2 configuration, that is, six active radar rounds and two infrared combat rounds. In the previous BVR confrontation, Wang Yu had already used three active radar rounds.
Now, at the moment he completed the lock, Wang Yu fired the remaining three missiles one after another with unusual decisiveness.
Wang Yu wanted to make Instructor Xu completely lose some energy in this single-ring maneuver to give himself a chance to kill with his cannon.
For Instructor Xu, although these three consecutive missiles were launched at large off-axis angles, it is generally difficult to achieve hits.
But seeing the missile coming in the direction of intercepting his fighter plane, he didn't dare to bet that the missile would not hit.

So he immediately began to maneuver with speed for steering, and at the same time changed the plane of maneuver to make it more difficult for the missiles to continue tracking the fighter. Sure enough, the three missiles lost their lock one after another and flew straight into the sky behind them.
Wang Yu did not count on the effectiveness of these missiles. His original intention of doing this was actually very simple, just to reduce the weight of the fighter plane - he was about to enter a dogfight, and active radar missiles were not very useful at this distance.
, Wang Yu will consume it now to reduce the load on the fighter plane so that it can be more flexible in subsequent battles.
At the same time, this can also force Instructor Xu to make further sharp turns to consume his energy.
It has the advantage of turning early, plus it has higher maneuverability after getting rid of three missiles, so at this time, it is already better than Instructor Xu's fighter in terms of turning radius and speed maintenance.
Wang Yu quickly completed the turn and entered the first confrontation after the single ring.
Because Instructor Xu turned slowly, he lost the best opportunity to attack at this time. He had to let Wang Yu get the window this time - the F-15E fighter plane had been pointed at the back position of Instructor Xu's fighter.
That's a huge cross-section. As long as one cannon cannon sweeps up it, shooting it down is a sure thing.
Wang Yu was about to adjust the angle and pull the trigger, but unexpectedly, instructor Xu did not intend to sit still and wait for death.
An infrared grenade under his wing pylon was suddenly launched, drawing an arc and flying towards Wang Yu's fighter, forcing the latter to reluctantly pull the trigger and shoot for a moment before immediately pulling away to evade.
.
The results of the simulation system showed that because the angle of Wang Yu's round of strafing was not perfect, the impact point did not fall on Instructor Xu's fighter plane, but flew past his fighter plane and achieved three effective hits. However, the exercise system
It was determined that these three hits were not in key parts, so Wang Yu was not determined to have completed the shootdown.
Their fight must continue.
Because Wang Yu missed this window, the two fighters passed by each other again.
But they did not distance themselves and regroup.
The pilots of the two fighter jets seemed to have the same idea. They both decisively adjusted their attitude after this round of intersection and performed a large overload turn again, trying to redirect the fighter jets to point at the opponent.
The two fighter planes are about to enter the scissors maneuver, the most common maneuver in air combat.
Entering a scissor maneuver at such a close distance can only mean one thing.
One party must be shot down for the battle to end.
