If the situation of the four fearless battles between the two sides is slightly superior to the Japanese Navy, then the situation of the three quasi-fair in the Austro-Hungarian fleet behind and the two quasi-fair in the British will be different! Whether it is the number or quality of the main battleships, whether it is the number or quality of the escort warships, it seems that the Austro-Hungarian fleet has the advantage. In short, when the two sides fight, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Quasi-fair squadron, Rear Admiral Velonnik, has shown that his advantage is quite big! You can win if you go by yourself!&1t;/p>

The actual situation is indeed similar. The two Austro-Hungarian fleet's former dreadnought battleships, Radetsky and Ferdinand, have done a good job in maintenance and have replaced the double 24omm second-class main gun with a single-mounted 12-inch naval gun. The 6 side strings of 12-inch firepower can fully realize long-range shooting. Moreover, these 12-inch naval guns are the same as the 12-inch naval gun on the German naval dreadnought, and the armored cruiser Saint-Geork can actually be regarded as a small dreadnought.&1t;/p>

And what about the British fleet? The 12-inch gun used by the battleship Edward VII is a 12-inch 14o gun, the artillery before Wuwu... and the second-level main gun only has 4 single-mounted 234mm guns. This gun ring is too small and you can't change it even if you want to!&1t;/p>

The Nelson battleship is in better condition, almost no less than fearless tonnage, which makes the battleship's military equipment powerful, with four 12-inch 145 guns, and 1O 234mm guns... If you have to make a "fairy" modification, it's OK. Just change the four double 234mm gun turrets to a single unit. But think about it, when the 1st battle exploded, the Fearless was transferred to the reserve service. The wealthy British Navy naturally did not intend to "fairy" the Lord Nelson, so now the British can only carry a large number of 234mm guns and work with the opponent at a long distance...&1t;/p>

To be honest, the two Radetsky-class battleships have passed a German early battleship. The former two total 12-inch guns, while the latter only has 9... And Edward VII not only has military equipment, but also has a good power. Armor protection is also! The armor height of only 9-inch armor can only be said to be average. Although the defense area is large, it is more powerful than the 12-inch 15o of the German Fearless Battleship in history... That can only be said to be too crisp! The 12-inch turret's forehead is still solid, but only 6-9-inch gun seats are more problematic... Well, in short, there are not many places where the Edward VII can block the opponent's 12-inch 145 guns at a normal distance...&1t;/p>

The tactic chosen by Rear Admiral Vironnik is to use his own long-range firepower advantage, and first concentrate a battleship and an armored cruiser to attack the weakest battleship Edward VII. Another battleship restrains Lord Nelson, maintains a distance of more than 13 ooo meters between each other, and reduces the power of the British 234mm artillery to the greatest extent.&1t;/p>

The battleship of Ferdinand and the armored cruiser of St. Georgherock first aimed the firepower at the last Edward VII. Six 12-inch guns and eight 24omm guns aimed at the distant targets. As the rangefinders of the two battleships locked the target in the middle of the cross, the huge shell was pushed into the barrel, and with a vibration of the turret, the first battle between the two battleships began!&1t;/p>

Although it is a relatively old warship, the firepower of the two warships is still not small. The firing energy of the 12-inch gun remains at 2.5 to 3 per minute. The 24omm gun fire of the armored cruiser of the Saint Georg even reached 4 per minute at one time! After the two warships joined forces, the projection volume alone was no less than that of a first-class warship! And when the two warships completed the cross-fire and entered the effective firing stage, these anti-aircraft guns immediately showed terrifying combat power!&1t;/p>

The first one to hit the enemy was the armored cruiser of the Saint Georg. On the one hand, the gunners on this ship were all old fry. The experience and quality of the fire controller and gunner who had been in service for more than 5 years was indeed extraordinary. On the other hand, the shooting was fast and the correction was fast! After only 6 rounds of correction, at a distance of 11 ooo meters, the Saint Georg successfully bit the opponent!&1t;/p>

The first 23okg-weight 24omm armor-piercing projectile hit the Edward VII's 6-inch gun corridor armor belt, and then...... Then it penetrated! The hard-clogged armor-piercing projectile is indeed powerful, and this penetration does not seem to be bad for the British 12-inch gun. To be honest, this was actually blown through. During the halfway through the shell, the bottom fuse of the shell was stimulated, and then the violent explosion directly exploded the remaining armor into pieces. A destructive impact composed of radioactive metal jets and debris swept across the two nearby gun tails. The armor on the side wall of the gun corridor was directly beaten into a sieve. The people behind were beaten to blood and blood by countless flying shrapnel, and the other gun position seemed even worse. A piece of burning red fragment hit the ejection bag stored at the back of the gun corridor.&1t;/p>

Boom! With a loud bang, more than a dozen packs of shots and at least one hand were detonated. The explosion of hundreds of kilograms of explosives and shots was indeed amazing. A huge fireball suddenly burst out from the middle of the entire warship, and the upper deck was torn apart. Countless fragments were shock waves generated by the explosion rushed into the air. Then they floated on the sea surface of hundreds of meters in a radius. Some fell on the deck, and a burst of "shrash" suddenly fell.&1t;/p>

Another shell had a good killing effect. The shell landed on the deck above the Edward VII steam engine compartment. As a front dreadnought, the biggest life gate was that the horizontal armor thickness was not enough. Think about it, what can 1.5-inch horizontal armor prevent? Well, this shell was not penetrated, it was also blown up. The back plate after 1 inch horizontal armor plus half an inch was actually very limited. Then, the soldiers located in the engine compartment suddenly appeared.

A fire suddenly rushed out of the ceiling, and then hit a vertical steam engine that was operating heavily. With a violent explosion, dozens of tons of steam engines and the bracket next to them were directly blown to pieces! A storm of steel flames and steam covered all the objects in the cabin indiscriminately! A moment later, the flames soared into the sky, and Edward VII's power was completely destroyed!&1t;/p>

Then, the Ferdinand Battleship performed well, with a 12-inch shell directly hitting the front of a 9.2-inch cannon. Although the 9-inch front armor is almost the same as the British battle patrol turret armor, facing the German 12-inch 15o that is more powerful than in history, the hardened armor that is as thick as 9-inch can only fail to sink into the sand...&1t;/p>
