"This is a good idea, but it requires cooperation between pilots. We cannot even achieve effective communication within the team now. Even with a speaker, we cannot guarantee that our teammates will hear our voices in the battlefield environment. We have even considered simple communication with words, but there is no doubt that this is a bit difficult." One pilot explained.

"Okay, you guys deal with this yourself, I admit that it's a bit difficult." The prince was once again frustrated by the technology that was too low in this era.

After watching the first type of fighter, the prince accompanied Sir Daimler and others to visit another bomber code-named K-1. Compared with the fighter, this two-person reconnaissance bomber is much more complicated. After all, in this era when the engine of the aircraft is still very immature, the difficulty of every 1kg of load added is comparable to that of rocket launches in later generations.

In order to load more things on this aircraft, Sir Daimler prepared two V12 liquid-cooled engines for this aircraft, with a maximum output power of an astonishing 130 horsepower for the single engine. Of course, this engine cannot be placed on the fighter because its size and weight are too large. If it is necessary to use it, the fighter needs to be redesigned and can accommodate this engine in time, and its performance may not be improved.

This aircraft can be said to be the largest among all aircraft at present. The length of the aircraft reaches 10 meters and the wings are 14 meters. The wing area is 50 square meters. The air weight of the aircraft is 1050kg and the maximum take-off weight is 1600kg. It is equipped with two people and is equipped with three machine guns. Two of them are fixed at the nose position and are controlled by the pilot in the front seat. The bomb dropper in the rear seat also serves as the rear gun shooter, controlling a 7.92mm machine gun. The theoretical maximum load of this aircraft is 250kg. But in fact, since its development, the aircraft has not yet flown at its maximum load.

"Our pilots are a bit overweight, and if we can find a lighter pilot, there is room for improvement in the load..." Sir Daimler explained.

"The load of the aircraft is directly related to the pilot's weight. It's such a tragic era." The prince had to sigh at the technology of this era again.

Although the completion of this aircraft is quite low, no matter what, this aircraft already has the basic elements of a reconnaissance bomber. The aircraft has 4 hanging points, including two hanging points on the belly, which are divided into front and rear arrangements, and can carry two bombs with a weight of no more than 100kg. There is a hanging point near the body of the lower wing of the aircraft, which can carry bombs with a weight of no more than 50kg. At the position of the bomb dropper in the rear seat, a position of a bomb dropping equipment is also reserved. Of course, this aiming equipment is being designed...

The two engine compartments of the aircraft are arranged between the two wings. They use a vertical engine compartment. The two pilots are separated by the wings, and the lower part of the wing is a 250l fuel tank. Relying on internal oil, this aircraft can fly for about 4 hours.

"If it is a reconnaissance aircraft, you can install a radio station at the back of the aircraft, and the information you obtained can be sent back at any time. It is also very good if you treat it as a gun, and carry a secondary fuel tank. If you don't carry a bomb but a secondary fuel tank, the maximum range of this aircraft can reach about 800km. The air stagnation time is more than 6 hours.

To be fair, this aircraft is a pretty good aircraft even before World War I. The 250kg bomb load has been several streets away from the early stage of the World War. The average flight speed of about 130 kilometers has reached the speed of the late bomber. Although it is incomparable to BTs like DH4, it is already very close to aircraft like Gotha.

The most important thing is that this aircraft still has a lot of room for improvement, at least the engine can be changed. After all, most of the engine power in the late stage of the 1st War was between 250hp and 375hp, and the 450hp level was also a relatively unparalleled one. As long as it is equipped with a fairly appropriate engine, the K-1 light bomber will be a very good fast light bomber. And it is also a bomber with very high accuracy from the perspective of War 1st War. Of course, don’t think about dive bombing. This thing is not a mosquito, and the engine used is not Molin...

Before the precision guided weapon came out, the speed, altitude and bombing accuracy of the aircraft were inversely proportional. Therefore, under the same conditions, the accuracy of high-speed jet bombers was definitely not as accurate as that of propeller aircraft. In the battle, because the aircraft flew slowly and had a low altitude, even if it was not possible to conduct large-angle dive bombing, it was still more useful to strike. In addition to the 200kg bomb, this aircraft could also repeatedly strafuse the ground with two 12.7mm machine guns. In this era, there were almost no ground transportation tools that could block the attack of the 12.7mm machine gun.

"Your Highness, please come here. We have developed various types of bombs for the aircraft. From the weight, we can divide them into 100kg, 75kg, 50kg and 20kg bombs. If we divide them from the purpose, we can divide them into anti-infantry high-explosive bombs, shrapnel shells, white phosphorus incendiary bombs and napalm bombs."

"Damn it, white phosphorus incineration bomb? You have all made such a ******* thing? How are you so conscience!" The prince complained in his heart after looking at a bomb with two white rings on the warhead. The prince felt that it was too much after he made a simple and terrible solidification. Unexpectedly, someone made something even more excessive! Of course, in addition to cruelty, the stability of this thing is also a problem, white phosphorus! The combustion gas is poisonous and the ignition point is only 40 degrees, which is also a threat to him.

The reason why the white phosphorus incendiary bomb is that it can still burn even in an oxygen-deficient environment. As long as it sticks to a person, it will definitely not be counted. Moreover, it is a highly toxic substance. Even if it is not burned to death, it may lead to hemolytic poisoning. It is even said that even if the burn area is only 7%, it will still cause such terrible consequences.

The prince was not sure when the first white phosphorus bomb that could be used in history appeared, so he still suggested that relevant departments use this weapon with caution, not be kind to the enemy, but be responsible for the safety of their own people...

As for other types of bombs, they are basically modified by shells. However, compared with shells, there are more explosives or steel balls filled inside. The shells are generally a single-digit percentage, and the high-explosive bomb may be higher, but the explosive filler generally does not exceed 20%. That is to ensure the strength of the shell when it is fired. However, the high-explosive bombs are different. It is easy to easily load more than 30% of the explosive charge rate, and it is also possible to try half of the force.

Compared with fighter jets, the bomber's display is much simpler, that is, carrying some simulated bombs made of cement and then thrown at a low altitude. Without sufficient training and equipment of new sights, this bombing accuracy is naturally not high, but in any case, the German eagle has begun to mature gradually.
