2529 Marcel and Jets 3

So, now the problem is that if the German jet fighter is created, even the mysterious fighter can definitely form an overwhelming advantage over the American fighter fleet in tactical terms! After all, the Americans cannot directly create the F86, they do not have time travelers, and not to mention whether it is the F80, F84, or F86, their range is not enough to cover the strategic bomber troops starting from the UK, even with a secondary fuel tank. The reason is very simple. Even if your theoretical range is to Berlin or even Munich? How big is the current Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire? Can you just move the future heavy industrial base east?

As for dealing with aircraft like P51D or H? How to say it? Mystery is still a good one among the first generation of jet fighters. In addition to range, it is still enough to play P51 in tactical terms.

Well, in terms of fighter quality, if the P51 responsible for long-range escort cannot suppress the new jet aircraft, then for German fighters, they still need to face British and American bombers! The American B29 bomber with thick skin and thick flesh and dense self-defense firepower on it is still very strong, while the German fighter needs to have fierce firepower as much as possible!

So, how is the firepower of the MiG 15 aircraft? Judging from the paper data, 2 23MM NR23 machine guns and 1 37MM NR37 machine guns, they look good, especially the latter, which uses 37MM*155MM shells, weighing up to 735 grams. All of these firepower is fierce?

But look at the load capacity of the MiG 15. Each of the two 23MM machine guns has only 80 rounds of shells, while the 37MM machine gun has only 40 rounds... and although the weight of the 37MM machine gun is only 103 kilograms, it seems good, but the initial speed is only 690 meters per second... The rate of fire is 400 rounds per minute. The ballistics of this shell are imagined... It is stronger than the ballistics of the German MK108 Tangdou launcher. After all, the initial speed of the latter is worse, but the speed of fire is higher, more than 650 rounds per minute. Therefore, for this weapon, it is really just a weapon that is veteran! Moreover, the amount of ammunition of the 23MM machine gun shell is also very bad.

Well, what about the weapons of the mysterious fighter? Its normal weapon combination is average. There are 4 British Sispanno HS404 20MM machine guns, but each cannon has an ammunition capacity of 125 rounds, and the firing rate is very fast, 600 to 700 rounds per minute, and the initial ammunition velocity is between 840 and 880 meters per second. Although this weapon does not have the lethality of BT as BT as NS37, it has a fast firing rate and rich ammunition reserve. From the perspective of usage effect, it is definitely better than a 37 gun and 2 23MM machine guns of the MiG 15.

Well, maybe someone said that since the MiG 15 is not good, then just replace the weapon directly? Isn't it enough to replace it with a mysterious Sispanno HS404 cannon? It's also 4! This is a good one if you want to replace it, but it must be noted that in the second battle, Germany faces strategic bombing from the United States and Britain, it is not only possible to rely on 4 20MM machine guns or 1 37 gun and 2 23 guns. In actual combat, a large number of additional plug-ins are required!

For example, taking the F190A8 plug-in as an example, this aircraft has three types of cannon pods, one is a pod equipped with two MG151 cannons, the other is a pod equipped with MK108 cannons, and the other is a pod equipped with MK103 cannons. These pods are very heavy! They require a very strong load.

So, the problem now comes. When it comes to load, the MiG 15 is a tragedy. To put it bluntly, the MiG 15 is a purely air combat aircraft. Its high performance is largely due to the weight limitation. For example, the MiG 15 Bis has an air weight of only 3,681 kilograms and a maximum take-off weight of only 6,100 kilograms. Its maximum plug-in is two sub-fuel tanks, which is directly over the sky.

The MiG 15's advantage in weight reduction and air exchange combat is inherited from the propeller era, and aircraft such as the 7 are the same. For example, the 7 fighter's air weight is only over 2,600 kilograms, while the F190A8 weighs as high as 3,200 kilograms. So is it designed by Germans? Naturally impossible! In terms of firepower, the F190A8 has 4 guns and 2 guns! The 4 MG151 machine guns alone have a total of 780 rounds of shells! The 7 is either 2 machine guns, a total of 400 shells, or 3 20MM machine guns, and each 100 shells... This firepower is 2 levels away!

The insufficient weight puts the aircraft at a disadvantage in terms of load and protection. The maximum external plug-in of the F190A is 1.8 tons. Even if the normal A-type suspension has two 300L sub-fuel tanks and one 500KG bomb, can LA7 carry a 500KG bomb? Obviously it is impossible! Moreover, the internal oil of the F190A is not high, and the internal oil volume of the LA7 is even lower. Therefore, after careful comparison, you can find that the paper data actually looks good, but it is not the case if you really fight!

In air combat, LA7 is on the same level as the F190A, with similar speed, climbing advantages, firepower is a disadvantage, and range is also a disadvantage. As for the ground, does LA7 have the ability to ground? This is the price of weight. Unless it is particularly treacherous, there is a reason to increase the weight of the aircraft. This is like the normal combat weight of the F190A8 is 4300KG, which is nearly 500KG higher than the F190A5. Although the paper performance is reduced, the overall combat power is improved! Otherwise, if the Germans have problems with their brains, they will study the A8!

By the same token, the same is true for P51B to evolve into P51D. At the beginning, P51B only had 4 12.7MM machine guns, with too weak firepower and relatively small fuel volume, which did not meet the needs. So when designing P51D, the fuel volume and weapons were increased, and the structural strength was strengthened. The flight performance of P51D was actually not as good as P51B, but the practical comprehensive ability of P51D was higher than that of P51B with a better field of vision, a larger range, and a stronger weapon. These are actually issues of choice between paper performance and actual combat.

Then if you extend this question, you can understand that the MiG 15 is just a fighter, and both the F86 and the Mysterious have certain ground attack capabilities and strong plug-in capabilities. The F86 can be said to be better than the MiG 15. Mysterious air combat should be inferior to the MiG 15, but the load situation is much stronger than the MiG 15.

So maybe someone said that what I just said was clearly an interception of bombers, so why do you have to discuss weight bearing? This is what you don’t understand? According to the experience of the German Air Force in World War II, the normal weapons of all single-engine fighters are very laborious when facing the thick skin of the B17. Under normal configuration, the firepower of the F190A is almost the strongest, with four MG151 machine guns equipped with thin shells and two MG15 machine guns! And the ammunition capacity is sufficient. Except for the 4 20MM Sispanno machine guns of the Storm fighter and 800 rounds of ammunition capacity, no fighter can say that it beats the F190 in firepower!
