924 Bismarck Friction 1
"The Japanese have to do it!" When the Japanese fleet was about to turn, Sims realized that the battle was inevitable. Now both sides have reasons to fight. The Japanese believed that the American submarine killed their warships, and the American submarine had been attacked.&1t;/p>
"Prepare for battle!" With the order issued, the two American battleships quickly entered a state of war, and the thick 14-inch 145 artillery began to point to the target. When the rangefinder on the top of the American warship began to measure the range of the Japanese ship, the first round of Japanese artillery bombardment had arrived!&1t;/p>
Although the last naval battle was 6 years ago, the level was not as good as the English-German navy that had been fighting in the North Sea and the Indian Ocean. The two families began to fight each other from about 18 kilometers. In order to ensure the accuracy of the artillery bombardment, the Japanese launched their first attack when they approached 13 kilometers.&1t;/p>
But to be honest, this distance is really not far for Fusang, equipped with an 8-meter rangefinder and 5 dual 15-inch guns. The first round of attacks fell from far point. The 5 shells all landed on the non-combat side of the Nevada. After the second round of attacks was corrected by 5 oo meters, the 5 shells fell on the combat side of the Nevada.&1t;/p>
For the third design, the Japanese took a middle value. After increasing the distance of 250 meters, the 5 shells accurately clamped the opponent, and the five landing points were evenly distributed around Nevada. The huge water column even obscured one-third of the hull of the Nevada!&1t;/p>
"We were caught!" The Americans were shocked by the high level of artillery bombardment at the Japanese fleet. At a distance of 13 kilometers, they clamped the target through only three and a half rounds of volleys. Is this tm fooled? Before that, Sims and others scoffed at the report that the German fleet was effectively shooting at 15 kilometers or even further, but now it seems that they really have the ability!&1t;/p>
As in history, the Americans and Germans have the most advanced battleship fire control system of this era. Although the American Ford-style range computer has a lower degree of automation and requires more personnel interference, its unique graphic drawing device is very outstanding. The gyroscopes equipped on the battleship can well sense the shaking of the battleship, thereby reducing errors. In terms of hardware, the Americans did a good job, but the technical advantages do not mean that they can definitely be converted into advantages on the battlefield...&1t;/p>
In history, British naval officers have questioned the professional ability of the artillery personnel of the US Navy, believing that they are just used to mastering various equipment equipped by superiors. In addition, the British also believed that the so-called practical exercises of the Americans are far from meeting the requirements of actual combat, and they can even make the exercises a play... For example, the British Royal Navy expressed doubts and confusion about the repeated rehearsals of the US Navy during the exercises. The Royal Navy also did this before the war... But after the war, it is actually not the same as acting! (This description comes from Lafayette's "Naval Firepower 2")&1t;/p>
As for this plane, the US Navy's artillery is still unsatisfactory at this time. Nevada's one round of volleys, long-range shots, second round of volleys, long-range shots, and third round of volleys. The performance of the New York was even worse. One and a half round of volleys came over, and the observers found 4 water columns and 1 fifth water column with no idea what the deviation was... If it was once, just remove the observation result, but unfortunately, every time I observe the New York volley, there is always one shot that is very unreliable...&1t;/p>
