From the end of the last battle until the beginning of the Polish Pocket Campaign, the Bavarian Legion and the entire Eastern Front Legion did not launch a large-scale attack for a period of 4 months. They were replenishing their strength and training and equipping new weapons. This period of time was enough for the Bavarian Legion, which had not suffered much damage, to restore them to their best condition and make great progress in scale and quality.

This is the case with the Army, and even more so with the Air Force! The Army suffered a certain degree of losses in the Western Front Battle, and the Air Force was much better than the Army. At the beginning of the thin line, the air forces of Britain and France were still weak. When productivity increased, new technologies began to be widely used, and when all kinds of monsters were full of evil, the Bavarian Air Force had moved to the Eastern Front. And the Russian Air Force, you know... Except for the Ilya bomber that caused some minor trouble to the prince's eagles, the rest of the process can be described as Tyson beating the elementary school students...

If this land war can be called a test for the German army on the Eastern Front, then for the current air force, there is no difference between suppressing the remaining Russian air force and conducting armed marches, so the air force decided to do something more meaningful - try some new tactics and get familiar with the new weapons in hand.

During the battle, it is normal for each other's equipment to fall into the hands of the opponent and be cracked and studied. In the continuous battle, the German army also received gifts from the opponent and learned experience and technology from it. For example, the new Victory V12 engine equipped by the British, the initial version of this engine had an output of up to 375 horsepower. This power has almost crushed the records of aircraft engines in all countries except the United Kingdom. Although such performance can only be considered a 2-story in the UK.

However, after obtaining no less than 8 and quite complete engines (detached from downed British bombers and fighters). With equipment such as intercoolers and carburetors that are considered amazing, the new db203 engine produced by Bavaria Airlines and Daimler-Benz successfully increased its power to around 425 horsepower.

Although it is still a certain distance from the final 500 horsepower version used by the v1500 in history, it is not because the technology is not enough, but because the weight is relatively small. After all, what Bavaria wants is an engine that can be installed on fighter and bomber at the same time to improve production capacity and logistics support capabilities. If it is used on fighter, wind resistance must be considered. The front is not too large, and the power-to-weight ratio is also required. Moreover, because of the existence of a supercharger, the use height of the aircraft has been greatly improved. High-altitude performance stabilizes British aircraft.

It is precisely because of the rest period of the Eastern Front in winter that the Bavarian Air Force has enough time and ability to fully digest its technological fruits and transform it into realistic productivity that the J-1 fighter jet, which once made great contributions to the German Empire in last year's war, is about to be on the verge of discontinuation. (At least in Bavaria.) Because the small body is not suitable for accommodating larger engines and more weapons.

At present, the Air Force is replacing the J-3 Falcon fighter. This aircraft is equipped with a 400-horsepower db203a engine. It is still a biplane with a length of 7.2 meters and a height of 2.65 meters. The wings are spread 9.2 meters. The maximum flight speed exceeds 220 kilometers per hour. The maximum usage ceiling is increased to 6,500 meters.

In order to deal with more and more British bombers, this aircraft has re-optimized its weapon system, and a 20mm machine gun passes through the center of the engine shaft. The new 20mm machine gun structure is similar to the Erlitonff machine gun in history, but it uses 20mm*99mm shells. The rate of fire per minute is about 250 to 300 rounds. According to the Air Force's test of this gun, in terms of killing effect, a 20-cannon can withstand at least 3 to 4 12.7mm machine guns. (The relationship between the firepower of the 20mm machine gun in this 2 battle is about the same standard as the 50-gun machine gun. Don't believe the rumor that a 20-cannon is equal to 1.5 machine guns. That's nonsense, don't think Americans will not be crazy.)

At the same time, there are also two 12.7mm machine guns or 7.92mm machine guns on the side of the wings as auxiliary weapons. Due to the improvement of engine performance, this J-3 aircraft can also take into account certain ground attack tasks. While ensuring the range, it can carry no more than 200kg of bombs or other weapons to perform bombing and suppressing the ground. For example, carrying a cannon pod. In the middle and late stages of the war, there were combat records of J-3 fighters repeatedly scattering ground targets within a range for a long time with a 20mm cannon pod or 12.7mm machine gun pod. According to the reaction of the ground troops, a large number of machine guns scattering to the ground is very good for suppressing light armored targets. Because of the increase in firepower, these J-3 aircraft themselves have the ability to deal with medium and large bombers.

With the emergence of the 20mm machine gun, another beneficiary was the original Tracers. They had more powerful weapons. The four 12.7mm machine guns on the nose were removed and replaced with three 20mm machine guns after being lengthened. After the engine was replaced, this new K-4m interceptor, known as the long-nosed Tracer, changed its waist and became a real giant killer! Of course, in the later stage, in the later stage, it also worked part-time as the infantry killer and the car terminator. Carrying bombs, the latter machine gun attacked the ground. It was called the air bullet sprayer and fast bomb truck by the logistics personnel of the Allied countries.

Of course, whether it is the J-3 fighter or the improved K-4m bomber, they are definitely smaller than the real new bomber, the K-6 bomber. The latest improved model of this aircraft is larger than the British FB27 bomber.

The body length is 15 meters, the wing spreads 20.5 meters, the aircraft height is 5 meters, the air weight is 3,800 kilograms, the maximum take-off weight is 6,500 kilograms, and the maximum load capacity is 1,400 kg. The pylon located in the middle of the belly of the aircraft can carry a 750 kg torpedo or bomb. If it is an improved special model, it is OK to carry a 1,000 kg bomb. The aircraft has a total of 4 crew members, a total of 3 machine gun towers, and equipped with 6 large calibers.

Machine guns, one of the first machines, one of the rear machine gun towers, and one of the machine gun towers located on the belly of the aircraft. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the pilots, some armor was also installed on the aircraft. Although it was not necessary to get an armor box like the later B17s, it was indeed guaranteed to the survival rate of the pilots. After all, the British do not have large-caliber machine guns, and there are no terrible 20mm machine guns. At present, the British are still using 7.7mm machine guns. There is no sign of large-scale firepower increase.
