When the Type 95 fighter jet dived to 500 meters above the ground, Zhou Zhihan began to suddenly pull up, climb, recover, fly level, then dive again, pull up, and repeat this many times to further master the basic maneuverability of the Type 95 fighter jet. .
After flying level for a while, Zhou Zhihan first did a few simple maneuvers to warm up, and then practiced a sharp turn and semi-roll maneuver according to the instructions in the flight operation manual.
The key to this maneuver is to seize the best opportunity to half-roll after a sharp turn, and how to quickly recover after the roll. After recovery, you can either get rid of the enemy aircraft and quickly escape from the air combat, or seize the opportunity in the dogfight to defeat the opponent. The enemy plane launched a first strike.
He repeatedly practiced the sharp turn and semi-roll maneuver dozens of times, looking for the essence of the semi-roll and exploring the best moment for the aircraft to recover. When there was not much oil left, Zhou Zhihan pushed the control stick forward, and the Type 95 fighter dived again, and then landed smoothly.
Five minutes later, Zhou Zhihan sat in the cabin of the P26 fighter jet.
The functions of the instrument panels in the cockpits of the two fighter jets are roughly the same, and the operations during takeoff are also basically the same.
Turn on the power button,
Turn on the cabin instrument lights,
Start the engine,
"boom!"
The P26's R-1340-33 engine burst out with strong power. After seven or eight seconds, the engine vibration gradually became smaller.
All instruments are normal.
Release the parking trigger,
Throttle valve lightly apply the throttle,
The plane slowly slid out,
Throttle ants accelerate forward slowly,
The plane's forward speed is 10...
Pull the joystick slowly,
The throttle valve is pushed out faster and the oil volume is increased.
Pull the joystick again,
"call out!"
The P26 fighter jet raised its head, its front wheels lifted off the ground twice, then its rear wheels lifted off the ground and climbed upwards.
The P26 is a biplane. Its elevation angle when taking off is slightly smaller than that of the Type 95 fighter, and its angle of elevation is also very fast, so its initial climb speed is almost the same as that of the Type 95 fighter.
After reaching 700 meters, Zhou Zhihan increased the elevation angle of the P26 fighter jet and climbed upward with high power and speed.
Due to its light weight and being a biplane, the P26's altitude limit can reach 7,200 meters. However, like the Type 95, at this flying altitude, the P26 fuselage and engine are under great pressure.
At 7,200 meters, the fuselage was shaking violently. Zhou Zhihan pressed down on the control stick, and the P26's nose easily recovered and turned into level flight. After a while, it dived downward to level the nose at 2,600 meters to practice various maneuvers.
Two hours later, Zhou Zhihan landed smoothly in the P26 fighter jet, but its stability during landing was not as good as the Type 95 fighter jet.
Zhou Zhihan also has a deeper understanding of the P26 fighter jet. Although the P26's 530 horsepower is far inferior to the 810 horsepower Type 95, its wing resistance is small, its own empty weight is small, and its turning radius is also small. It is used in various It is also slightly better when maneuvering.
The P26 is also slightly better than the Type 95 in terms of easily transforming into a fighter during maneuvers, but in terms of power, the former is not as good as the latter.
The power of the Type 95 fighter jet is already considered outstanding among current fighter jets, but its ceiling capacity is not as powerful as the legend says. The maximum ceiling does not exceed 8,000 meters. When it continues to climb up to 6,000 meters, the power output is obviously insufficient. At 5,500 Under meters, the power output of this fighter is very good.
The shortcoming of the Type 95 fighter may be its four wings. Fighter technology is accelerating innovation and changing with each passing day. No matter how good the four-wing fighter is at takeoff and landing, its large turning radius in air combat is its major shortcoming. , the air maneuverability is also limited by the large resistance of the four wings, which is not as flexible as the biplane, which is an inevitable shortcoming.
Quickly pulling up and then diving to attack is the trump card of the Type 95 fighter, but the three-step ax is too simple. If you meet an experienced biplane pilot, you only need to do a few rolls or a small angle to escape from the rear, and you can defeat the Type 95 fighter. The advantage of high-altitude dive is eliminated.
These two fighter jets can only fly for a short period of time when they climb above 6,000 meters, mostly to launch dive attacks or climb away. It is difficult to carry out air combat or dogfights at this altitude.
Zhou Zhihan's 4-hour flight is equivalent to 200 hours for others. The flight experience is accumulated, but it also needs to be digested and thought about slowly.
After exiting the [Air Overlord] cheat book, Zhou Zhihan almost collapsed on the bed from exhaustion.
System: "After this period of flight practice, the host has reached the level of a quasi-ace pilot in terms of mastering flight skills, but it is still far from being the ace among aces.
Next, the main task of the host is to improve the techniques, knowledge, experience, etc. learned during this period, so as to practice more flying and think more.
After the host has fully mastered all the intermediate maneuvering skills, next, we will learn the most crucial part of air combat - the use of airborne weapons.
The host must know that in life and death air combat, no actual combat technique is completely correct, reasonable, or invincible. However, the host can use all the learned techniques and tactics by finding relatively correct and invincible actual combat techniques in the [Air Overlord] cheat book. After blending, the host realizes its own unique invincible air combat technology.
The host must continue to accumulate the flying experience, attack and defense techniques, ballistic techniques, shooting techniques, offensive and defensive maneuvering techniques learned in the [Air Overlord] cheat book, deeply understand these techniques, and teach them to domestic pilots after returning to China in the future.
The prerequisite for achieving the above key points is that the host must have unparalleled courage in the air combat.
If a pilot lacks enough courage, even if he performs well in normal flight training, shooting training, and awareness training, he will only become a target for the enemy on the battlefield of life and death.
In air combat, sometimes courage and calmness can greatly make up for the shortcomings of flight technology and fighter performance.
Future courses will focus on learning the use of airborne weapons in air combat.
Superb flying technology can ensure that the host has the upper hand when facing enemies, and superb airborne weapon shooting technology is the final word.
Shooting techniques include the application of sights, effective shooting distance, reasonable aiming movements, and the most reasonable position between the attacking aircraft and the attacked aircraft. This also includes head-on shooting and trailing shooting.
Both head-on shooting and trailing shooting need to establish an advance amount.
The prerequisites are very important. You must first learn how to predict the trajectory of enemy aircraft.
In all air combat shooting techniques, lead time is crucial to the results of the shooting.
When the host learns the air combat shooting techniques, the system will invite the consciousness of the world's famous ace pilots to fly fighter planes and conduct simulated actual combat exercises with the host, including:
In air combat, the principles of defensive maneuvering of airborne weapons;
In air combat, the relationship between the shooting principle and ballistics of machine guns;
Offensive and breakaway techniques in air combat;
Tracking and counter-tracking in air combat;
Various defensive and offensive maneuvers in actual combat, etc.
However, the above-mentioned practice flights and simulated actual combat flights, as well as the ammunition for airborne weapons, all require a large amount of air combat coins as support. Therefore, the host must find ways to earn more air combat coins. The host can also accept and complete the tasks of this system to earn Air combat coins.
The host should keep in mind that in the future, in the skies over China's anti-Japanese battlefield, the performance of the host's fighter planes will always be at a disadvantage compared to the constantly updated fighter jets of the Japanese. In order to make up for the disadvantage in fighter performance, the host will need more air combat coins to improve the performance of the fighter planes. .
