The torpedo is dropped from the carrier and falls freely. The speed into the water is the speed into the water. The entry angle refers to the included angle between the torpedo body and the water surface when the torpedo head enters the water. These two factors directly determine whether the torpedo can work normally after entering the water.

After all, the structural strength of the torpedo is limited. If the water entry speed and angle are too large, the torpedo will directly insert into the water, which may damage the internal structure or damage the shell, and the shallow water area may touch the seabed.

Too small entry angle and too high speed will make the torpedo "drift" on the water surface, which will damage the torpedo.

Now, the most common MK. II torpedo in Britain is best launched at a height of 40 meters and a speed of 260 km / h, which is just matched with swordfish.

Therefore, Bruce does not need to aim directly at the other party, but to aim at the other party's throwing route and fire!

Bruce did all this skillfully.

In the distance, the torpedo plane is also making final preparations before launching.

Ted's attack angle is just right. When the flare lights up, he sees the target in the goggles. Then, he slowly pushes away the goggles, his eyes adapt to the strong light, and he has entered the final attack route!

Continue flying forward, lower the altitude, push the nose and let the torpedo enter the water at an appropriate angle!

It was a perfect attack!

Let the torpedo launch normally at an angle of 14 degrees!

Ted counted silently in his heart. In five seconds, he could leave.

At this time, a fierce fire came out from the warship opposite. It was the anti-aircraft gun firing!

FireStarter!

Bruce stepped on the launcher. In the sound of the bang, the 40mm boforth antiaircraft gun burst into flames at the muzzle.

Among the three grenades, there is a tracer armor piercing bullet. Therefore, now you can clearly see the trajectory. Bruce knows that he can hit it!

"Boom!" A 40mm grenade accurately hit the nose of the swordfish, broke the propeller and drilled into the rear engine.

Ted couldn't believe it at this time. The other party opened fire blindly and hit himself like this? How is this possible?

The front engine emitted black smoke. He never had a chance to throw a torpedo again. Before the plane was about to fall, he quickly jumped out of his cockpit.

The open cockpit is the easiest to jump!

In fact, in this dark night, jumping into the sea has little chance of survival, but it is better than falling directly with the plane.

Crisp, one shot, 12 shells, killed a British torpedo!

Without the slightest hesitation, Bruce shook the direction machine. Soon, he aimed at another torpedo and fired again!

Dense shells flew towards the torpedo plane. When it was found that this side opened fire, the swordfish torpedo plane threw away the torpedo directly, then lowered the operating lever, flew a few meters above the sea, and staggered away from Bruce's attack.

"Good job!" Next to Bruce, the commander of the gun position said that at this time, his eyes had adapted to the light of the flare and the burning fireball on the sea, which showed that Bruce had just killed the torpedo flying opposite at a critical juncture!

Without Bruce, the consequences would be unimaginable!

At this time, other anti-aircraft artillery positions finally began to fire!

"Bang, bang, bang." The 40mm anti-aircraft artillery shells are flying in the sky, and the flames fly out one by one. In the air, they draw beautiful tracks one by one. If you look from the outside, you can find that the German at this time has become a hedgehog!

Sixteen bofoss 40mm antiaircraft guns are quite powerful. Now the fire is fully open. It is very difficult for any aircraft to break through its fire network!

Although the torpedo plane does not need to be close, it is still within the control range of bofoss antiaircraft gun! Moreover, it also has 105 mm anti-aircraft guns!

The sky gradually darkened, and the time for the flare to burn was limited. Just when it was about to be dark around, Bruce shook his head: "the danger is not over yet. Now, our speed is slow, and the other party may catch up with the shelling."

At this time, on the bridge, Colonel stanger was holding the same vigilance: "pay attention to the whole ship, be ready for the battle at any time, all 283mm naval guns, load armor piercing bullets!"
