Turns are the most common demonstrated basis in fighter maneuvers, and "forward" turns are one of them.
The definition of a forward turn does not mean that the nose of the aircraft points forward, but an "anticipated" turn. It means that when the front hemisphere is close to the opponent, the attack aircraft starts to turn or roll before meeting the opponent. It does not It must be a front-mounted tracking steering, or it may be a rear-mounted roll maneuver.
The so-called rear tracking roll maneuver method is one of the out-of-plane maneuver methods.
During close-range forward tracking, the attack aircraft flattens the slope and pulls up, away from the target aircraft's turning plane, cleverly pulls up and climbs to reduce the forward speed, and points the speed vector in the direction of the target aircraft's turn, back toward the target. Carry out an upward roll or roll in the direction of the aircraft's turning trajectory to ensure that after passing through the target aircraft's turning trajectory, it is always located behind and above the target, forming continued pressure on the enemy aircraft.
This tracking method comes from the advanced air combat concepts of the 21st century. It is a technology that Zhou Zhihan learned in [Air Overlord]. For current pilots during World War II, this theory is nothing short of fantasy, even if they can To understand this kind of technology and tactics, you also need tens of thousands of hours of flight experience to support the completion of the technology, otherwise it will stall.
This is like a spectator who thinks he has superb driving skills, watching a racing car turning at high speed on the F4 track. The turning is exciting and easy, but when it comes to his own hands, it just overturns.
The turning radius of the Messerschmitt is larger than that of the Zero War. Zhou Zhihan directly used rolls instead of turning at high altitudes, continuously suppressing the Zero War. At this level, he no longer needs to look at the roll indicator to know the nose of the aircraft when rolling. the location pointed to.
At this time, the instrument panels of fighter jets from all over the world are similar. The ones that display the roll angle of the Messerschmitt, Spitfire, and Hurricane are called roll indicators, while those on Zero Fighter are called inversion and roll indicators. They have the same function. The flap switch of the former is called the tail trim switch on the zero battle, and it also plays the same role.
The people on the ground were dazzled and excited by the various maneuvers performed by Zero War and No. 214 Messerschmitt, but for the knowledgeable members of the Western Military Observer Group, they were shocked and incredible!
With binoculars in their hands, they could watch every maneuver of the two fighter jets from all angles. It was the first time for everyone to see the technology of using rolls, rolls, and rolls instead of small-radius turns, and they were hooked!
Yamaguchi Takan didn’t know much about air combat technology, while Nakaso Moritaka and Kato were frightened by what they saw. Both of them were aces in air combat, especially Nakasa Moritaka, who was known as the new king of destroyers. They looked at the No. 214 Messerschmitt. Doing all kinds of incredible maneuvers in the air to maintain the continuous pressure on Zero War, Moritaka Nakasa couldn't find any way to crack it. Cold sweat broke out on his back. If the shooting controller on the Chinese fighter hadn't been destroyed in advance, Kondo would have been there long ago. Just lose.
"Bang bang bang!"
Zhou Zhihan pressed the lever and rudder one after another, and the Meishi rolled to the side and rear fifty or sixty meters away from Zero War. He fired three shots in a row. The sound of the gunshots was clear, but the bullets flew to nowhere.
The pistols equipped by the Chinese Air Force are only for self-defense. They have never thought of shooting at enemy aircraft in the air. Moreover, the power of pistol bullets does not pose a threat to fighter jets. Even the glass cockpit cannot be broken dozens of meters away. Zhou Zhihan Just trying to hit Zero War with a pistol to start a fire.
In the Chinese skies during the Anti-Japanese War, there were indeed Chinese pilots who pulled out their pistols and fired at enemy planes when they ran out of ammunition, but that was just helplessness and unwillingness in despair, just like the soldiers who pulled out their pistols and fired at tanks before they died. Tragic.
After three shots, Zhou Zhihan knew that this was an impossible task. He didn't know much about firearms. He had almost never used a gun in the past few years. The wind was very fast in the air and he didn't know how to use the shooting advance of the pistol.
Zhou Zhihan became anxious. Although gasoline was poured on Ling Zhan, the sun was shining brightly at noon and the wind was strong. It would not take long for the gasoline to evaporate.
Now it was impossible to hit the Zero. Kondo was prepared and used the Zero's unsolvable turns to frequently maneuver out of the way. If he hadn't used the rolling technique at a high position and always maintained pressure on the back and top of the Zero, he would have been there long ago. Once the opponent gets rid of it, it won't take long for Kondo to apply this tactic. Once he finds a way to break it and turns around, he will be unable to recover.
What's even worse is that the pain in his right arm gradually increased due to frequent rolling and tracking with the pole. Every time he made a swing, press, push or pull, the pain was excruciating. The two bandages were stained red with blood. Blood flowed down his arm and onto the joystick. His palms were slippery, and he had to keep wiping the blood on his thighs.
what to do?
Zhou Zhihan began to sweat on his forehead.
Zhou Zhihan fired three shots in a row, and everyone on the ground could hear it clearly. Even the common people knew that No. 214 Messerschmitt had no bullets at all, otherwise it would be impossible to use a pistol.
Suddenly, the common people were worried and silently looked at the sky and stopped cheering. Many people clenched their fists unconsciously and leaned forward nervously.
Everyone knows what it means to have no bullets in a fighter jet in the air.
After the clamor of the Chinese people calmed down, the reporters from the Japanese phalanx began to cheer. They shouted loudly in Chinese: "The Chinese have no bullets... Hahahaha... We will definitely win... Victory, victory... Long live long live... Long live the Emperor... we must win... we must win..."
"We really don't know what the Chinese military is thinking. If it were our Soviet Union, these Japanese would not survive ten minutes..."
A Soviet military observer couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at the Japanese phalanx with contempt and said to the Chinese military staff accompanying them, "There is no need to talk to them about morality when dealing with a country like Japan. They treat you Are the Chinese people being reasonable? In their current arrogant state, if you beat them to death we will pretend we didn't see it."
Hearing the gunfire, Kondo laughed loudly. He knew that the Chinese were at the end of their rope and it would be more difficult to use a pistol to fight fighter jets than a rifle to fight mosquitoes.
Of course, there are many examples of using pistols to hit opponents in the air. Imperial pilots like to do this.
Imperial pilots often use pistols to shoot the parachutes of Chinese skydiving pilots. This can cause the holes in the parachutes to be very small and will not cause the pilots to plummet to their death. Instead, as the air resistance increases, the holes in the parachutes gradually increase. The speed of falling becomes faster, allowing pilots to taste the process of death for a long time, and the pilots of the Empire like to see the various performances and expressions of Chinese pilots when they experience the process of death...
After Kondo made another escape maneuver, he suddenly felt the pressure behind him suddenly disappear. He was worried that he would be fooled, so he did not dare to relax his vigilance. Instead, he performed two more escape maneuvers and then performed a 90-degree roll. When he looked back, he was overjoyed.
