In the same Midway Naval Battle, Flying Dragon and Canglong were also killed by American bombers. Among them, the losses of Canglong can best illustrate the difference between a 500kg level (actually 454kg) bomb and a 250 attack bomb! The Canglong's most fatal blow was because a 454kg bomb directly penetrated the two flight decks and destroyed the Canglong's boiler bin. Ten minutes after being shot, the boiler bin was completely shut down. If it depends on the time, the US bomber began to explode at 10:30. At 10:45, the captain of Canglong announced that he would abandon the ship... Is this just enough?

The Flying Dragon was finally hung under the attack of four bombs. (The author cannot find the bomb heavy data.) Overall, from the Naval Battle of Midway, all four Japanese aircraft carriers died from bomb attacks, among which the 454kg bombs were confirmed to be killed in the hands of the 454kg bombs. The Kaga died in the hands of the 227kg bombs, but these bombs fell on the bombs and fuel vehicles piled up on the deck. It is said that the entire bridge flew. This can only be said to be natural disasters and man-made disasters!

In short, looking at the entire Battle of 2, at least four Japanese fleet aircraft carriers died on bombs, and no American aircraft carrier was destroyed by pure bombs by the Japanese. Therefore, in terms of damage and the power of the bomb, the Japanese 250kg small bomb was definitely inseparable!

This time, the performance of the 250kg high-explosion bomb is actually not very good. Although it is facing the battleships of the 1st Battleship, it has to be said that the horizontal defense of the warships is still higher than that of most aircraft carriers participating in the battleships in the second battle. (Don’t take Dafeng and Shinno as an example.) There is no problem with 250kg high-explosion bombs to ignite fire, but it may be more difficult to rely on bombs of this level to severely damage the British battleships and cause them to slow down, power damage, and ignite the ammunition depot.

As for using a 500kg level bomb? How to say it is almost the maximum weight of a carrier-based aircraft carrier takeoff. With feedback from the battlefield situation, the 550kg armor-piercing bomb is very powerful and it is difficult to directly penetrate the horizontal armor of the battleship. Especially the improved Queen. To be honest, this time, if the High Seas Fleet fights with the British Fleet, then the Queen and the Revenge-class battleship will be the targets of the focus!

"If it really doesn't work, try using a half-armour piercing bomb?" The prince said in his heart. Half-armour piercing bombs, the charge can reach 40% of the bullet weight. It is more than twice the charge amount of armor piercing bombs of the same weight. If it is 500kg, there can be 200kg of high-explosive explosives in it. If this kind of bomb is to directly penetrate the main horizontal armor, it is basically no chance. However, because the height of the horizontal defense system of the British warship is too low, it is still okay to penetrate the above decks and explode deep in the hull.

"In fact, when it cannot be penetrated, the damage effect of the semi-armour-piercing bomb is much higher than that of the armor-piercing bomb. After all, the amount of medicine is poor." The prince calculated in his mind.

There is not much problem with torpedoes, so it is enough to still use the previous ones. So in the end, the prince's composition of attack aircraft is roughly like this. The proportion of torpedoes in the entire attack aircraft group is 50%, and the number of bombers carrying 500kg level bombs should be 30% to 35%. In addition, the remaining attack aircraft carry 250kg high-explosive bombs. The existence of these bombers does not mean how useful the 250kg bombs are, but because the take-off position of the aircraft carrying blockbusters and torpedoes must be lowered, and a section can definitely be empty in the middle. Based on the principle of adding it to the use, these bombers carrying 250kg bombs are placed between fighter jets and heavy-duty attack aircraft.

"The proportion of fighter jets needs to be reduced. The fighter jets in one strike can be 35%, and the rest will be given to the bomber. Otherwise, the lethality of the British fleet will not be great enough." Ruprecht picked up a pen and reduced the number of fighters.

"If necessary, this Balkan battle, the naval aviation pilots should be allowed to practice their skills first." The prince added another note in the report.

"Your Highness, Marshal Tirpitz, Admiral Schell, Admiral Hippel arrived." The voice of the guards came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, every move you have foresight, and the Empire's High Seas Fleet will reach a new peak under your leadership. And the rise of the Empire will also have your indelible contributions. Even if we have passed away hundreds of years later, the Empire and the Empire's subjects will still remember your glory and glory!" Tirpitz was sincerely admired this time. Without a trace of flattery, he really believed that the other party deserved this honor.

"Okay, let's do the job seriously. I'm very, very busy now." Ruprecht said. He had a premonition that Tirpitz would definitely have some problems that need to be solved in the past year. Otherwise, whether it is the future combat deployment of the High Seas Fleet or the establishment of the aircraft carrier team, these have been arranged and just follow the steps.

"The British are said to be building the first aircraft carrier, and the Admiralty believes that this will weaken our aviation advantage, and we report this to the German Emperor, and His Majesty believes that we should add another aircraft carrier," said Tirpitz.

"As the Minister of State of the Navy, you know better than me that we have no extra funds and manpower to complete the fifth aircraft carrier. And even if the German Emperor will grant me funds, personnel and ships tomorrow, the ship will definitely not be able to catch up with the battle that determines the outcome of the war." Ruprecht said with a little amused and crying, thinking, "What have you done long ago? When I advocated it, you all opposed it. Now you know? It's over! My Navy Minister!

"Yes, it is impossible for us to complete the fifth ship within the specified time in our country, but someone is willing to help us do it, but it only needs to pay some price." Tirpitz said carefully.

"American?!" the prince asked with a frown. "Even with the industry and financial resources of the United States, it is too late to go to time now. It doesn't make sense to catch up with the ship of time."

"This, the American aircraft carrier demonstration was actually very early, and construction started very early. Don't forget that one of our aircraft carriers was modified with American ships. When the US government asked, we told them that this would be a carrier warship." Tirpitz said.

"So that's it." The prince remembered. As an ally, at least in the current situation, it was unbreakable. The two sides still need to be more honest. Therefore, the Americans knew that Germany was engaged in aircraft carriers, but the specific details were not clear. They might have thought that this aircraft carrier was used to resist the opponent's bomber and did not associate with the attack. After all, the load capacity of the carrier-based aircraft was still a bit tragic at that time.
