As the decisive force, battleships will always be an indispensable protagonist in naval battles.
Even Wang Yu, who is sitting on the super patrol, has to admit that in terms of shock, large-caliber naval guns do have enough advantages.
The muzzle flash of the heavy artillery salvo and the muffled thunder-like explosion are unmatched by small-caliber naval guns that focus on projection.
Of course, Annapolis is a similarly spectacular sight at its maximum rate of fire, but this and heavy artillery salvo are definitely two completely different experiences - for example, if Annapolis is an output puller With a non-stop ADC, a battleship with heavy firepower is a heavy warrior that has a slow attack speed but can kill nine hundred and ninety-nine times.
When you watch the ADC kill the opponent with output, and the warrior rushes forward with the damage and kills the opponent with two swords, although the two consume about the same time, they are two completely different feelings in terms of senses.
Looking at the rising muzzle fire and listening to the sound of the cannon that came here after a period of delay, Wang Yu felt a little excited. His fleet must also be thick, long and hard, no, it's the caliber. Only battleships with deep range penetration can be considered fully developed.
I always feel like my cake is a bit too big.
Currently, to build a new battleship of more than 20,000 tons, you have to trade with Hahara Mio. If you want to build a battleship of more than 70,000 tons...
Well, it is indeed not easy - and there does not seem to be a shipyard with more than 50,000 tons in the port area of Hahara Mio.
However, it is always a good thing to have hope. If a person loses hope, what is the difference from salted fish?
Wang Yu suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and focused more on the battlefield on the sea.
Well, Mio Hahara's combat plan is currently being implemented quite well. The destroyer torpedoes have divided the battlefield. The light cruiser is preparing to take advantage of the projection volume under the cover of the destroyer's smoke. The remaining three heavy cruisers and battlecruisers have also begun to move towards Facing the chaos, the Siren fleet launched a concentrated fire attack. The main gun salvos had been fired one after another, and the shells were about to fall on the Siren's heads.
There is a reason why the Siren fleet can wreak havoc. Although the attack launched by Hahara Mio took the lead, the moment the latter opened fire, all the Siren warships immediately entered the attack mode, and the muzzles rotated and fired quickly. counterattacked.
For a moment, artillery fire roared on the sea, but because of the night, Wang Yu could only see the flash of artillery fire.
Who told the ship girls to fight without lights? There is no need to use flares in night battles. They can all be carried out by perception. This is a hardship for the commander. He can only obtain some key information by communicating with the ship girls around him.
Anna thoughtfully updated the positions of both sides on the battleship's electronic map.
The Siren fleet deployment was disrupted before, so their warships are currently facing at different angles. The Siren actually also has a salvo angle for naval guns. Some naval guns either cannot rotate at a certain angle, or they are facing at different angles. It is impossible to launch at certain angles. In short, there may only be five or six Siren warships that can exert their full firepower.
Therefore, in the initial shelling, they were temporarily at a disadvantage in terms of projection volume.
On Mio Hahara's side, the first one to score a hit was the Amagi.
Amagi is worthy of being a highly skilled ship girl. The first salvo of ten 410mm main guns hit a Siren that was making a big turn to adjust the posture of the battleship. This was a Siren battleship. With the roaring sound, Ten armor-piercing bullets fell from the air, half fell into the water, but half also shot into the Siren's hull from the side.
Although a few rounds did not cause effective damage to the Siren because they did not hit the key areas of the Siren battleship, there were still two shells that accurately penetrated the waterline of the Siren battleship and hit the power of the Siren battleship. Part - Then there was a burst of fire spurting out from the hit point, and even the water mist caused by the missed shell could not cover it up. This was obviously effective damage.
The Siren warship also has weaknesses, such as the power section and the armament section. These areas are collectively called the "core area." Although the armor in the core area is the thickest, once it is hit, it can cause serious damage to the Siren in a short period of time. Damage that is difficult to repair.
On the contrary, similar to the fire damage caused by high-explosive bombs and the damage caused by shell penetration, the Siren can be repaired in battle. Of course, it is not infinitely repairable. The damage that can be repaired reaches a limit. Quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and it can also be repaired. Sink the Siren.
Therefore, Amagi directly hit the core area of the Siren battleship with two rounds, causing great damage to the Siren battleship in an instant. In the following battle, the main strength of the Siren battleship will be significantly resistant to attack. decline.
But in the first round of shooting of Hahara Mio's fleet, not everyone can start like Amagi.
There are many things that can affect the shooting accuracy of naval guns, such as the shape of the shells, air humidity, atmospheric density, wind force and even Coriolis force. A series of factors will act on the shells, causing the naval guns to not be completely accurate after being fired. Instead of hitting the aiming point, it will randomly fall within an elliptical range of about a few hundred meters. This is a fact that even the ship girl cannot change.
So King Kong's eight 356mm main guns were launched into action.
The eight shells were evenly distributed around the Siren warship she was aiming at. It was considered a straddle shot. In the previous world, this was actually a very accurate attack, but in this world with ship girls, there was no way. Getting the first hit is not accurate.
On the bridge of the King Kong, although the blond lady was not very satisfied with the performance of her naval guns and shells, she still remained calm and elegantly picked up the black tea and took a sip, as if the one that missed the round just now was not the target. She is the same.
It doesn't matter if you don't hit in the first round, just continue in the second round.
Eugen's target was another main Siren ship - but because of the long distance, she used high-explosive bombs, hoping to light the Siren on fire, but unfortunately, although her high-explosive bombs The shots were accurate, with six of the eight hits hitting the target, but they failed to catch fire. A few more shells shattered on the Siren's main armor belt because they didn't penetrate deep enough, and failed to cause any damage.
The Siren's first round of counterattack was also launched simultaneously when they were attacked, but the logic of the Siren's bombardment in this world did not include prejudgment factors, so this long-distance bombardment, which took a certain amount of time to land, was The girls in Hahara Mio's fleet dodged easily.
Even Amagi, who had relatively poor maneuverability, made a simple adjustment and caused the round of shells that the Sirens attacked her to land in the water a few hundred meters away.
In general, the first round of attacks by Hahara Mio's fleet caused a certain amount of damage to the sirens, but it is difficult for naval battles themselves to have events that can determine the trend of the battlefield in an instant, even if the battle between the ship girls and the sirens In battles, generally speaking, it takes a period of time to gradually draw out the damage.
However, compared to the Siren's main fleet, Hahara Mio's main fleet still had fewer battleships.
At present, it is only through advance preparation that we have temporarily gained a certain advantage.
But if the sirens are really powerless to fight back because of this, then they are not sirens anymore.
After the battle officially began, Siren reorganized his own fighting posture in the fastest possible way.
They did not resume fleet formation for the time being, but began to ensure that their own firepower could be fully utilized as soon as possible.
Therefore, just when Habara Mio's main force fired in the second round, the firepower of the Siren's counterattack was obviously improved. Although it was still able to evade, it was enough to show that if the Siren really launched a full-scale counterattack, the firepower density would be very strong. of.
Mio Hahara didn't know how to respond.
"So I said it would be great if the torpedo just now could sink one or two Siren battleships."
Wang Yu complained, and then he said to Anna: "Anna, continue to move to the side of the Siren fleet, and join the battle at the right time."
