Dropping torpedoes and bombs are completely different tactics.

The accuracy of high-altitude bomb dropping was originally the lowest, but when Germany developed the radio guidance method, the accuracy problem of high-altitude bomb dropping was solved.

The advantage of high-altitude bomb dropping is the safety of the carrier. For example, in this era, the ju290 flying 10000 meters in the air is absolutely safe.

In addition to high-altitude bombing, only dive bombing can pose a threat to warships. The advantage of dive bombing is, of course, high precision. German pilots are best at dive bombing, but this kind of dive bombing is also very threatening.

Yes, to dive and drop bombs, we need to risk the threat of the other party's air defense fire and increase the risk of the carrier itself.

And throwing torpedoes, you don't have to risk this risk. Torpedoes can navigate in the water, so as long as you set all kinds of data and throw them into the water.

The torpedo will sail automatically.

Now, in order to throw torpedoes, the carrier needs to fly at an ultra-low altitude on the sea.

The performance of torpedoes in this era is still very unstable, especially the electronic processing system on torpedoes. If the throwing height is too high, the torpedo may collide with the water surface when entering the water, and this impact force will damage the internal equipment.

From this point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong with the British throwing torpedoes with swordfish attack aircraft. To say low speed, it is definitely the advantage of biplane.

Now, fw190, flying low on the sea, Lieutenant Colonel prira aimed at the huge warship in front, and then pressed the throw button.

At this time, he was only three meters away from the water surface, and the waves shook almost under his wings. As naval airmen, their skills were quite exquisite!

Under the belly of the machine, the seven meter long torpedo slipped and splashed when it entered the water.

Then, the T-3 torpedo starts.

In the huge body of a torpedo, most of the space is stored with lead-acid batteries, which is similar to the batteries of electric vehicles. The number determines the range of a torpedo.

The torpedo has two battery packs, each with 26 93 ampere hour batteries.

(you can compare the electric vehicle batteries. The general electric vehicle batteries are larger, that is, the capacity of 20 ampere hours. Now, each battery here is far more than four times that of electric vehicle batteries, and there are a lot of batteries.)

Now, the power inside the battery is continuously supplied to the rear motor, driving the propeller and stirring the spray. Soon, it will sprint to a high speed of 30 knots!

At this speed, it can sail 5000 meters. At this time, when throwing, Lieutenant Colonel Prilla's plane is about 3000 meters away from the other party.

At this distance, the bang bang gun can't hit at all! This is the limitation of oblique range in combat. It is not enough to have a range. It depends on whether the angle is appropriate or not!

So the Gunners looked at the attack plane in surprise. A big guy was thrown down a few kilometers away from their side. After entering the water, the plane pulled up and climbed up.

"No, it's a torpedo. Come on, the left rudder is full!" The Gunners shouted.

The other side is coming towards its own side. At this time, as long as you make a turn, you can point the place with the smallest projection area at the other side, and you are likely to pass the torpedo.

But now, do they have this chance?

No,

The bridge has been blown up. In addition to the casualties on the bridge, the steering wheel has also been blown up. Now, the war weary, almost the same as in World War I, can only sail along a straight line.

It can't make any steering, and its speed is now reduced to almost standstill.

The torpedo was sailing underwater, and the propeller at the tail stirred the sea water, forming a ripple on the water surface, which can even be seen by the naked eye.

So, under everyone's attention, the torpedo, the end of the voyage, is the middle of the war weary!

This torpedo was finalized in 35 years. It has been a skilled model in 39 years, and a new model of torpedo is still under development.

This torpedo uses an electromagnetic induction fuse.

In the past, the impact fuse could explode only after it collided with the other party's warship. If it didn't collide, it would fail.

The electromagnetic induction fuze belongs to the proximity fuze. It can explode before it is contacted!

Warships are made of iron, so there will be electromagnetic induction, and the current fuse determines the target by sensing this magnetic field.

As it got closer, the fuze had felt the increasingly strong electromagnetic field. When it reached a limit, the fuze was triggered.

"Boom!" 200 kg of nitric acid compound explosive, at this moment, there was a violent explosion.

At this point, the torpedo is still half a meter away from the target.

The violent explosion took place underwater, and the surrounding sea water was stirred in an instant. This sea water formed a greater force and hit the ship's side.

Compared with direct impact and magnetic detonation, magnetic detonation poses a greater threat, because its explosion will push the sea water to form a greater impact effect.

"Creak," the keel inside the ship's side made a terrible cry under the beating of the sea. Almost half a second later, only a bang was heard.

Keel, broken.

There is a big hole in the bottom steel plate next to the keel.

Weariness was an old ship during World War I. during World War I, the performance of torpedoes was very backward. The main threat was the opponent's artillery. Therefore, the battleships during World War I had thick armor on the water, but they didn't pay so much attention to the underwater part.

Needless to say, even today's old ships during World War I, such as Bismarck, were wounded by torpedoes dropped by British shipborne aircraft and then beaten to death.

Now, the torpedo thrown by the fw190 carrier aircraft has successfully torn a big hole in the bottom of the weariness, and the sea water is gurgling in.

"Come on, close the watertight door." Underwater, the sailors shouted that as a battleship, it has strong anti Strike ability. It has multiple watertight doors. Once the cabin here leaks, just turn it off.

The sailors were closing fast, hoping to save their warship.

"You left something for me!" Underwater, a dissatisfied voice came out: "aircraft carrier, battleship, leave me a big guy!"

Captain prien was depressed.
