A few days ago, when attacking the Baltic Fleet, Goethe class aircraft carrier had been cruising in the central Baltic Sea. However, a big problem was found in the battle. When the steam catapult ejected the carrier based aircraft, it would cause the problem of deck icing.
This problem puzzles researchers. In recent days, catapult researchers have conducted research on this aircraft carrier to investigate how to improve it.
Now, the deck is brightly lit, and several personnel are studying it.
"We use hand-held equipment to heat the deck, so that the ice on it can melt quickly." An operator said: "but this is not the best way. The catapults of our subsequent aircraft carriers should be equipped with electric heating devices on both sides. Once frozen, they will melt quickly."
To remove ice, of course, you need to heat it. However, such deicing will lead to an increase in the demand for power on the aircraft carrier. For aircraft carriers built in the later stage, this power problem must be taken into account.
Squadron leader Franz Stigler also followed. He suggested to these personnel: "if salt is added to the steam, can the ice slow down?"
The sea water is difficult to freeze because the salt will reduce the freezing point. Hearing Franz's words, the researchers immediately shook their head: "no, that will greatly increase the failure rate of our catapults."
Indeed, it will reduce the freezing point, but salt will corrode. The internal structure of the aircraft carrier's catapult is precise. Once it is corroded by salt, it will be scrapped soon.
On the bridge not far away, the radar search antenna is still rotating normally. Since they came to this sea area, they have not stopped observing the sky overhead and are ready for possible attacks.
What if an unintelligible Soviet plane comes?
Now, on the bridge's radar console, the radar hand suddenly saw a large echo, and immediately he exclaimed: "found a large number of aircraft, at least a dozen!"
The air defense alarm sounded immediately on the whole warship. After receiving the alarm, Franz strode towards his plane, quickly jumped into the cabin, turned on the radio, and shouted to the tower: "764 is in place, request to take off and intercept."
Originally, fw190 was supposed to undertake the fleet air defense mission, and Stuka bombers were supposed to carry out the bombing mission. However, the displacement of Goethe class aircraft carrier is small and the types of carrier aircraft carried are few. Due to the limited output of fw190, some Goethe class aircraft carriers are equipped with Stuka bombers, such as now.
Generally speaking, Stuka bombers don't perform combat missions, but now it's different. It's night. Night fighters are some big men. Don't worry about mobility, as long as they can keep up with bombers.
At night, it is impossible to break out an air battle between fighters. Fighters are only intercepting bombers. Even some night fighters are improved bombers. For example, the junker-88 in history was first improved into a night fighter.
Now, Franz is quickly preparing for his departure. His machine gunner in the back cabin is also in place quickly. At the same time, he also carries several incendiary bombs.
"You can take off at twelve o'clock, 80 kilometers away." The sound of the tower has come from the headphones.
The deck personnel have dragged the Stuka bomber to the take-off line. Now Stuka does not carry the heavy one ton bomb, so the aircraft carrier does not need to turn against the wind. As long as the catapult is used, Stuka can fly easily.
In a powerful overload, Stuka has been catapulted off.
On the whole Goethe class aircraft carrier, only Franz took off alone.
When it comes to night ejection and take-off ability, half of the carrier based aircraft pilots on that aircraft carrier can master it, but the night landing ability is different. So far, only Franz has it.
As for others, they are still in training, and once they have this ability, they are almost transferred by Zeppelin Earl class aircraft carriers. These escort aircraft carriers even play the role of training aircraft carriers.
After takeoff, Franz pushed the joystick, pedaled the rudder and turned towards twelve o'clock, which was due east.
In this dark night, the planes flying from the East over the Baltic Sea are definitely not German. Even if Germany bombed at night, it was enough to go over the land. The bombers on the front line took off more than 100 kilometers, which was the target, and there was no need to detour to the sea at all.
Therefore, it must be Soviet bombers. They fly over the Baltic Sea in this dark night. Their task is not simple. Maybe they go to bomb Berlin!
At the thought of this, Franz is excited and must not let them succeed!
The night sky is not particularly dark. Overhead, a curved moon shines on the sea, and the stars also show a bleak light.
In Franz's headphones, the voice of guidance from the aircraft carrier kept coming: "at an altitude of 4000, the other party is 15 kilometers ahead of you."
Franz adjusts his height and tries to be at the same height as the other party, so that it is easy to observe the results.
"Keep moving. It's only five kilometers. Pay attention."
In the air, the distance will change rapidly, and Franz carefully observed his front.
The rear guidance radar has been improved. The ranging accuracy is 100m and the angle measurement accuracy is 0.2 degrees. He just needs to look within the error of the guidance radar.
But he didn't see anything.
"Has flown."
The sound from the earphone made Franz very depressed. He brushed past the other party, but he just didn't see the other party. He firmly believed that there was no problem with the aircraft carrier's radar, so he must have had a problem with his search and couldn't observe the target.
Just as he pushed the operating lever and wanted to continue to turn the course to pursue, the machine gunner behind him suddenly shouted, "I see a fuzzy thing below."
below? When franzton found his mistake, the altimeter was wrong.
In this era, the most common is the barometric altimeter, and in different latitudes, the change of barometric pressure with altitude is different. There will be tens of meters of error.
In normal attack operations, the error of tens of meters is nothing, but in this night interception, the error of tens of meters is enough for him to ignore those airspace.
In fact, with the development of technology, Germany has begun to develop high-precision radio altimeters and even radio velocimetry devices, but they are not installed on planes that need dive bombing, such as Stuka. Those high-altitude bombers are most needed.
Just now, he mainly searched the airspace in front and above, and forgot to search the airspace below. Fortunately, he had an organic gunman to help him find it. Since he found it, he began to attack.
"Attention, prepare to throw the flare. After the flare falls for two seconds, we will attack." Franz shouted to his machine gunner.
If several planes come up together, they can fight together. One throws flares at high altitude, and the rest catch up to attack. But now, Franz is the only one, and he can only rely on himself.
First throw a flare to see how many people come and the specific direction, and then catch up with the attack.
Just as he was about to show off, he heard a voice from the bridge in his headphones: "there is another group of aircraft behind. The Soviets are crazy!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
