When the Jiaolong was undergoing final modifications, Zeng Yi and the other four were already discussing how to go out and show off their power. Although the island nation's navy had been completely wiped out and North Korea had almost no navy, the Persian navy could not be exposed and had not been allowed to surrender.
The place for the Jiaolong to show off its power is still for players, especially those who have just obtained the armored ship. The appearance of the Jiaolong has widened the gap between them and the Jiaolong.
However, Zeng Yi and the others failed to show off their power in the end. The transformation of the Jiaolong was completed, but as an experimental ship, the Jiaolong still had another mission, which was to train the navy. From cold weapons to hot weapons, this was an earth-shaking change.
It not only tests the commanding ability of the officers, but also tests the operational ability of the navy. Fortunately, Zeng Yi and the others are now taking action. The sailors who have completed the training are the instructors of the navy.
Zeng Yi's sailors are training navy operations, while Zeng Yi and a group of navy bosses are studying new naval tactics. The impact of the use of artillery on naval warfare is revolutionary, as long as there is some strategy
Even the military officers are aware of this problem, and they must master the new navy tactics as soon as possible.
Zeng Yi and the others actually didn’t understand it, but as players, they could search if they didn’t understand. The four of them spent a lot of time to understand the tactics of sail battleships in reality. In fact, after reading a lot of information, the four of them still didn’t understand.
I understand very well, but that doesn't stop them from showing off and reading those materials to those navy bosses.
"First of all, to understand the new tactics, you have to understand the advantages and disadvantages of artillery. Let me start with a few points. The biggest advantage of artillery is its powerful firepower and long range. When facing enemy ships, it is completely possible, and it is beyond the range of enemy ships.
, and start attacking!”
As soon as Zeng Yi finished speaking, Lao San felt that he had finally caught an opportunity to show off, and Lao San didn't want to be snatched away by others. "There are several factors that will affect the performance of artillery in actual combat. First of all,
On the choppy sea, the ship-based artillery fixed on the bumpy deck cannot obtain a stable shooting platform. Due to the lack of shooting stabilization device and effective aiming device, it is still difficult for the ship-based artillery to achieve accurate shooting. Secondly, in terms of
In the current situation, unless bombarding coastal fortifications and fortresses, the targets of ship-based artillery are always wooden ships or ships preparing to be armored. Therefore, sinking them only with solid round iron bullets requires a very large amount of bombardment. This
We need multiple warships to coordinate the attack! To maximize the firepower, I suggest arranging the ships into a single column through mobilization, and then use broadside artillery to violently bombard the enemy ships to make them lose their combat effectiveness!"
Several navy bosses nodded, and one of them said: "It is indeed the most appropriate tactic to use multiple naval battleships to engage in large-scale naval battles. However... if it is a small-scale naval battle, the firepower will be as high as
If we don't, we can no longer use such tactics!" As the navy boss said, with the impressive hit rate of the artillery, if only two or three second-level battleships encounter the enemy, there will indeed be insufficient firepower.
At this time, Laosi said: "If the number of main guns is not enough, especially those equipped by second-level battleships, and the caliber of the guns is not too large, it is unrealistic to sink the enemy ship with solid ammunition. In other words,
In such a situation, the target's hull structure is not always the best target for bombardment, and it is often more important to kill the effective forces on the enemy ship. Similarly, it is also extremely critical to destroy the mast, rigging, and steering wheel, the mechanical devices essential for sailing.
From a tactical point of view, the main purpose of bombardment is not to destroy enemy ships, but to disable them and seize them as trophies, which is the best choice under such circumstances."
"So, the battleship still needs to expose part of its ballistae!"
"Yes, especially the battleships below the second level cannot be modified now. We might as well equip some continuous ballistae vehicles to assist the main battleships and kill the enemy's effective forces."
...
The four of them took turns to talk about the information they had seen these days. It had to be said that these navy bosses were really powerful. Often, as soon as Zeng Yi explained it to them, these guys would understand, and they could even draw inferences and make suggestions.
Zeng Yi and the others couldn't understand many of the less flexible tactics and tactics.
In fact, most of the time, these tactical theories are often aimed at decisive naval battles between main fleets, and do not take into account the diverse needs of various maritime conflicts. For example, the landing operations to cover the army certainly cannot be used in the same manner as maritime operations.
Yes, these all require commanders to be able to use tactics flexibly.
Zeng Yi didn't think he had that ability. Fortunately, the Jiaolong had always been the most advanced warship, and the enemy usually had a huge advantage against it. Zeng Yi only had to push it flatly.
In order to experiment with those tactics, the Jiaolong took a lot of action, operating at high load for several days. For those tactics, Zeng Yi and the others were understandable at first, but as the navy bosses became more and more familiar with the warships,
After getting familiar with it, many cool tactics started to be used, but Zeng Yi and the others were a little unable to keep up.
The four of them didn't want to admit that they didn't understand. After all, they were the ones who pretended to talk about many of the tactics. In the end, the four of them simply followed the navy bosses out to sea as soon as they had something to do.
"Mader, this is still a very primitive battleship with such complex tactics. If it were in reality, wouldn't it be even more terrifying! This crystal commander is really difficult to be!"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Do you know how much it costs to train an excellent battleship commander in reality?"
"Hey... we have no hope with those complicated tactics. If everyone is on the same starting line in the future, how can we get along?" Zeng Yi said helplessly. He knew that among players' maritime guilds,
There are quite a few Navy veterans among them.
The fourth child smiled: "Then you should always keep the Jiaolong ahead of others. In that case, just push it evenly."
"Well, this is indeed a way!"
There is an old saying that goes well in the face of absolutely powerful strength, all conspiracies and tricks are of no avail. Perhaps Zeng Yi and the others are indeed not as good as those powerful navy commanders, but as long as the Jiaolong is advanced enough and the combat effectiveness is strong enough, they can
You can always maintain your advantage.
...
As the navy's battleship transformation progressed step by step, the navy discovered that the imperial court's funding could at most complete the transformation of those first-class battleships. However, if the navy wanted to form combat effectiveness, it could not just transform the warships.
A large amount of ammunition was still needed, and the Navy suddenly discovered that the imperial government's allocation could not support that much ammunition.
