Stuka bombers cannot carry more than one ton of bombs, while junker-88 bombers can easily carry more than two tons of ammunition. Now, when attacking ships, they carry two pc1000rs

German bombs have many prefixes, such as sb, SC, SD, PC and so on.

Among them, sb is a large charge bomb, the shell wall is thin, and 75% of the interior of the shell is explosive. The instant fuze is used when attacking the ground target, and different time-delay fuzes are used when attacking the water target.

SC belongs to mine bomb and earthquake bomb. The shell wall is thin, and only about 50% of the shell body is explosive. The use of shock waves and vibrations generated by explosive explosions to destroy enemy buildings does not emphasize its fragment killing effect.

SD is a fragment bomb and multi-purpose bomb. The shell wall is thick, and only 30% of the shell body is explosive. Fragments are used to kill enemy effective forces and unarmed targets.

PC is an anti armor projectile, the shell wall is quite thick, the shell material is high-quality steel, and the charge amount is 15 to 20% of the shell weight. Use high-quality steel fragments to destroy enemy targets and permanent fortifications protected by heavy armor such as warships.

As for the rear RS, it means rocket boost. The extended tail is equipped with rocket propulsion device, which is only used in dive bombing.

As for the suffix number, it represents the weight of the bomb. The current bomb, as the name suggests, weighs one ton.

This kind of bomb is specially used to attack thick cement fortifications, or to attack battleships!

The one ton bomb left the cabin and flew with a roar to the hood.

The quadruple machine gun is firing wildly, first at the enemy plane, and then at the flying bomb. Unfortunately, it's useless.

The bomb fell almost straight and aimed at the strongest turret!

The armor protection of battleships is very thick. Take the hood for example. The armor on the side must withstand the bombardment of the other party's shells. For example, the main armor belt on the waterline in the middle of the ship is 305 mm, the upper main armor belt is 127 mm, the lower main armor belt is 228 mm, and other places are about 102 to 152 mm.

It can be seen that the most important sideboard and armor protection are light and heavy. After all, it can't be so thick, otherwise the tonnage of battleships will go up.

Compared with the side, the turret is definitely thicker.

The hood has four double mounted main turrets and 381mm naval guns, and the turret is the thickest place on the whole warship.

For example, the front of the turret is 381 mm, the side is 280 to 305 mm, and the rear is 280 mm.

This thickness is quite strong. It can be said that even a large iron block weighing one ton can carry it from the sky.

But now, the pc1000 bomb is not a ton of ordinary iron!

Just about 100 meters from the turret, the bomb suddenly burst out a hot flame at the tail. The rocket booster began to work!

The rocket is burning, pushing the bomb, accelerating, accelerating!

Originally, the dive bomb had a high speed, but now, with the booster at the tail, the speed is faster!

When he saw that the tail of the bomb was on fire, Jack was delighted. It was great. Did he hit it himself?

Just like just now, his shooting made the first bomb deviate from the target. Now, the second bomb will certainly deviate from the target. Maybe he will be blown up by himself!

It's better to explode in the air than on a warship.

But later, Jack found that the situation was bad. The flame only came out from the tail, and the bomb began to accelerate!

No, this flame is what people already have. It's a rocket booster!

Thinking of this, Jack has cold hands and feet. He watched the huge bomb, driven by the rocket, have a close contact with the top of the second double turret in front of the bridge.

At this time, the speed is more than 280 meters per second!

Speed, of course, brings energy!

The violent pc-1000rs violently collided with the top of the turret. The hard shell of the bomb was competing with the turret.

As a result, of course, the bomb won!

When the impact came up, the top of the turret was forcibly deflated, and the whole turret made a clear and terrible impact.

Then, the bomb continued to drill forward and successfully tore off the armor at the top of the turret!

In the design of any battleship, the turret is the thickest, but that is the side, and the top of the turret is relatively thin. For example, the top of the current hood is not 100 mm thick.

(I also found another saying that the side is as thick as the top. Who has the most reliable information? However, even if it is 300 mm thick, this one ton special rocket propelled bomb can be torn apart.)

The armor on the hood's deck is even 38 mm.

It can be said that attacking the top is definitely a good plan!

After all, the time when battleships appeared was mainly to prevent the bombardment of each other's shells, not bombs falling from the sky.

In fact, if statistical analysis, the turret is not the easiest place to be shot, but the armor protection of the turret is always the thickest. Why?

Of course, it is safe. After all, once the turret is hit, it is necessary to set off fireworks. Inside the turret, a large number of shells are stored. These shells can hit the enemy or become their own terrible nightmare.

Like now!

The hood is not ready for war. Like other warships, many artillery positions are not allocated with shells, so that they can't respond quickly when they are suddenly attacked.

However, the main guns of any battleship will never be short of ammunition.

The 381 mm armor piercing projectile weighs 800 kg. It is quite troublesome to carry such a heavy projectile. Therefore, under the turret, there is a complex automatic loading mechanism. At the same time, once the projectile is loaded on the warship, unless the warship is retired, the main artillery projectile can not be moved back.

Under the turret of the hood is the ammunition of the main gun, in which the firing charge is on top and the fired projectile is below.

When the top of the turret was drilled, the armor piercing bullet seemed to have exhausted its last strength, and then the time-delay fuse exploded.

"Boom!" Hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded violently.

In fact, when Bessel was diving, he aimed at the middle bridge of the warship, but when he left, the route deviated a little. Of course, he knew that the other party's turret was the thickest. If he could bomb, it was better to bomb the weak bridge.

But now, the bomb, living up to expectations, tore open the main gun turret of the hood, drilled into it and exploded!
