Horizontal scissor maneuver, that is, the two combatants are on the same horizontal plane, constantly repeating the process of turning, meeting, breaking away, turning again, meeting again and breaking away again.
While the two sides were advancing on the horizontal plane, their flight trajectories continued to intersect.
If viewed from a bird's eye view, the trajectories of the two fighter planes are like two spiral lines that continuously cross, move away, and then cross again.
In other words, during the constant scissor maneuvers, the two fighters seemed to be performing continuous single-loop maneuvers.
Since the concept of single-ring maneuver has already been explained, there will not be too many words.
In short, in a horizontal scissors maneuver, every time two fighters turn back to their opponent to prepare for a rendezvous, it is a process of attack or defense. The dominant side needs to try to get the opponent into the shooting range of its fighter planes as much as possible, while the inferior side needs to
It is necessary to compress the opponent's window through maneuvers so that the opponent cannot attack one's own fighters.
Due to the characteristics of the horizontal scissors maneuver, once you enter this maneuver mode, it means fighting to the death.
When both sides have similar technical levels, whoever breaks away from the scissors first will voluntarily give up the victory of the battle.
Therefore, from the moment both sides decide to enter the scissors maneuver, instructors Wang Yu and Xu need to start attacking each other frequently until one side is "shot down" or both sides tremble until their energy is exhausted.
At the beginning, Wang Yu had a certain advantage.
Although Instructor Xu lost a lot of speed because he had to avoid Wang Yu's three salvos before the first round of intersection, his current speed is slower, and it is easier to catch Wang Yu's cross section in the scissors——
But don’t forget that the low-speed performance of the F-15 is not ideal. If you want to maintain speed at low speeds, the turning radius will not be very small.
Therefore, if Instructor Xu wants to forcefully turn to catch Wang Yu's cross section at his current speed, it means that his speed will be further reduced, and there may even be a risk of stalling.
So even if he can bring Wang Yu into the shooting range, the window he can create will be very narrow.
Next, due to the low speed, I will have to fall into a very embarrassing situation.
Looking back at Wang Yu, not only is there not much fuel left on his current fighter plane, but only about 50% of the fuel is left. In addition, only one missile is left, so it is almost empty at this time.
.
It has the advantage of high maneuverability brought by no-load. In scissor maneuvers, the "full"-looking F-15E can also have good maneuverability. It is better in terms of roll rate, turning speed, etc.
Fully loaded with earth-shaking changes.
Even if Wang Yu controls the speed to a certain level, the F-15E's continuous hovering and energy recovery capabilities will be even better than the F-15C, which is specially used for air control due to the updated flight control and powerful engine.
.
To sum up briefly, in the current situation, Wang Yu has regained his disadvantage and turned it into an advantage.
In this air battle, due to the responses of both sides, the relationship between their advantages and disadvantages changed many times.
But this is not surprising. The process of air combat changes rapidly. Sometimes a correct response method can directly turn defeat into victory when you are at a huge disadvantage. But sometimes an outstanding performance by your opponent can bury you in the abyss. It is normal for the advantages and disadvantages to be exchanged.
The two fighter jets roared and turned towards each other. Sure enough, instructor Xu recognized Wang Yu's strength. He didn't want to take a big gamble to open a window against Wang Yu - even if he used his low speed to forcefully chase Wang Yu and open the window, the latter would
You can also find ways to deal with it, and the success rate of winning in the end is not very high.
For an elite like Instructor Xu, even if he enters the scissors maneuver as the defender under unfavorable circumstances, it does not mean that he will lose. He still has many strategies that can be used to deal with Wang Yu's attack. So he kept turning with a large radius and a long distance while trying to restore his speed as much as possible.
Naturally, Wang Yu would not give up this opportunity. The opponent's movements reported to him by Aileen allowed him to judge that Instructor Xu had decided to put himself on the defensive temporarily.
Therefore, Wang Yu needs to launch an attack immediately.
He used the hovering angular speed to minimize energy loss at this speed and pulled the nose of the aircraft in the direction of Instructor Xu.
Pull out the lead time to predict where Instructor Xu may fly, and then pull the trigger to fire a round of cannon fire - he only has one infrared combat bomb left, which is best when the hit rate is not high.
Be safe.
As if he had predicted Wang Yu's movements, Instructor Xu maneuvered out of the horizontal plane at lightning speed, allowing Wang Yu's volleys to hit the air. He also switched radar locks while maneuvering.
An active radar bomb was fired at Wang Yu.
Wang Yu couldn't help but be secretly surprised at Instructor Xu's response speed at such a time.
But he had to avoid this missile, so he immediately dodge in a small area.
The speed dropped a bit, and the nose of the aircraft could no longer be pointed at Instructor Xu's fighter plane. Fortunately, the missile was dodged by him.
When the missile could no longer guide and passed by his fighter plane, instructor Xu's fighter plane had already left his window.
In the first meeting after officially entering the scissors, neither side made any achievements.
Instructor Xu did not let Wang Yu take advantage of him too much in this round. He made up for some of his disadvantages when entering the scissors.
"As expected of an instructor..."
Wang Yu's brain was thinking rapidly about the next strategy.
It’s really tricky. Instructor Xu can always find a way to prevent himself from expanding his advantage.
This is much easier to deal with than the "Wolffire" who keeps falling into his own trap.
This is because the instructor is flying a training aircraft that is not as good as the actual aircraft, and there is no one to assist him in the battle. If he is flying the same model as himself or a simple F-15C, then he may not be able to easily
Win.
The battle continued. As the fighter planes collided with each other, the fighters readjusted their direction.
"Attention, dear, your flight trajectory is not very advantageous."
As they passed each other, Irene suddenly spoke up and reminded.
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat: "What?"
"This instructor's flight trajectory is very good, and he makes almost perfect use of the fighter's energy during the turn." Eileen said concisely, "If this continues, my dear, your advantage will gradually be exhausted."
Hearing what Irene said, Wang Yu couldn't help biting his lip.
Is this the gap in flying technology?
Wang Yu thought that he had done his best during the maneuver and reduced the rate of energy decline as much as possible, but he did not expect that Instructor Xu would do better than himself at this point.
As the theory of relativity in air combat says, a decrease in the opponent's energy means an increase in one's own energy.
If this continues, the balance of advantages and disadvantages will gradually be balanced by Instructor Xu.
In a brief moment, the fighter plane redirected.
Wang Yu could barely maintain his offensive posture. He decided to complete the battle as quickly as possible. Some small details of Instructor Xu's scissoring process made him feel that if it was delayed, something bad might happen. p>
However, this round of volleys was still avoided by Instructor Xu in the same way. Wang Yu even specially adjusted the direction of prediction this time, but Instructor Xu always seemed to be able to avoid his shots - this instructor and Wang Yu were not the same.
Likewise, he doesn't have the cooperation of a machine girl, so he can do this entirely because of his accumulated experience and observation of Wang Yu's flying style.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being an elite of the Imperial Air Force. Even though he is old, he is still strong.
As a result, the two sides met again.
Instructor Xu used these two rounds to launch two missiles, which also reduced the load on his fighter plane a lot. Since he had been maneuvering to increase speed without affecting the battle, he almost maintained the same energy as Wang Yu at this time.
Level.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the third round of intersection, the fourth round of intersection...
Using his own skills, Instructor Xu regained his disadvantage.
Although Wang Yu thought about how to deal with it, it was to no avail.
This is the gap in flight experience between the instructor and myself.
It's a complete collision of strengths. Wang Yu can only say that his skills are still inferior to others.
He gasped and adjusted his breathing rhythm. Even if the overload was not that high, during the long-term scissor maneuver, continuous high-speed deflection, the overload could continue, and the energy must be maintained at a high level of concentration, which made Wang Yu's physical strength
Rapid consumption, he no longer has the same physical fitness as when he first entered the maneuver.
Finally, at a certain moment, Instructor Xu successfully recovered from his original defensive stance.
He used the abilities he had accumulated for a long time to turn defense into offense.
In a certain round of intersection, Wang Yu's last six o'clock directions were successfully cut.
