Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

Although there was some headache, Ye Bai was still not stingy, spending funds to directly recruit 500 marines, and equipped with corresponding weapons and ammunition, with some officers to form a garrison battalion, specifically responsible for protecting the safety of farmers and workers in the small space.

After all, the world of navigation is a world of naval battles, these land combat weapons are quite cheap, and in a small space, there are no other enemies invading, just need to be careful of wild beasts hurting people, a battalion of troops is completely enough.

After doing this, Ye Bai left a little embarrassed, and came back to the hangar, originally the money in his hand was prepared to be used to replenish carrier-based aircraft and pilots, but now it is good, a trip to the logistics cabin small space, it actually cost almost 3 million, and the funds that can be used on carrier-based aircraft are not much.

“Ramsay, have you done your formation, we need to prepare enough carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible, it is very dangerous here, war may break out at any time, and there is no time to waste.”

As soon as he entered the hangar, Ye Bai called Ramsey, who was busy, over, ready to complete the configuration of carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible, after all, the Yanhuang has been upgraded to an aircraft carrier, and there is almost no combat effectiveness without carrier-based aircraft.

Ramsey rolled his eyes helplessly, and said a little angrily: “Commander, carrier-based aircraft can temporarily park part of it on the flight deck, and before the hangar transformation is completed, it can also be tied to a part at will, which is relatively simple.” ”

“As for the establishment of carrier-based aircraft, my commander, I don’t even know what carrier-based aircraft you have, and there is no way to set this formation.”

Ye Bai slapped his head sharply, he really made a mistake in his busyness, he actually made such a low-level 28 mistake, and quickly said: “You wait a minute.” ”

After speaking, Ye Bai opened the system mall, checked the carrier-based aircraft sold inside, and took a pen and paper and wrote some data on the paper.

[Tubular swallow carrier-based fighter: wingspan 14.14 meters, length 12.24 meters, maximum level flight speed 398 km / h, ceiling 6500 m, range 1255 km, equipped with eight 7.7mm machine guns]

[Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber: wingspan 14.1 meters, length 10.8 meters, maximum level flight speed 360 km / h, ceiling 6150 meters, range 1300 km, equipped with four 7.7mm machine guns, 1 227KG bomb]

[Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft: wingspan 13.87 meters, length 10.87 meters, maximum level flight speed 222 km / h, ceiling 3260 meters, range 1658 km, equipped with 1 x 7.7mm machine gun, 1 x 730KG torpedo or up to 680KG depth charge, mine, bomb]

Ye Bai shook his head while writing the paper, it really deserves to be the basic version, the performance of these carrier-based aircraft is actually not great, but it is very threatening for player warships that have almost no air defense weapons today, and it is not necessarily for those pirate fleets and aboriginal fleets.

Ye Bai only wrote down these 3 carrier-based aircraft on paper, as for the reconnaissance aircraft, he did not write it, and he did not plan to equip it, anyway, it was all rubbish, just let the carrier-based fighters make a cameo.

Taking the paper from Ye Bai’s hand, Ramsey just glanced at it, and said with some disdain: “Commander, the performance of these carrier-based aircraft is already a little backward, if you can, it is better to replace them with more advanced fighters.” ”

Ye Bai pouted, and said a little helplessly: “Colonel Ramsey, I also know this situation, but we can only buy such goods at present, and there is no other choice.” ”

Ramsey shrugged his shoulders and said: “Okay, commander, then I suggest that all carrier-based aircraft be uniformly organized, 2 a group, 4 for a squad, 16 a squadron, the specific number of carrier-based aircraft depends on the commander’s capabilities.” ”

“But I remind the commander that it is better to reduce the number of torpedo attack aircraft and increase the number of carrier-based bombers.”

“Why?”

Ye Bai was stunned when he heard this, usually the torpedo planes on the aircraft carrier are not all equal to the bombers, the fighters are responsible for handling the anti-aircraft fire on the battleship, opening up the bombing route for the bombers, and the bombers follow up the bombing and destroy the superstructure of the battleship.

Finally, the slowest torpedo machine entered, using the powerful attack power of the torpedo to finish, completely damaging and even sinking the opponent’s warship, how can it not seem to be the case to listen to Ramsey now.

Ramsey’s face was stunned, and he explained: “Commander, just now the captain General Lütyans came, and I communicated with the general, according to the rules of this world, the lethality of torpedoes has been greatly weakened, and the price is expensive, in terms of cost, aerial bombs are more cost-effective than torpedoes.” ”

Speaking of this, Ramsay showed a weird smile on his face and continued: “Of course, if the commander has a rich family and deep pockets, then when I didn’t say, I heard that General Lütyans liked to use torpedoes to attack in naval battles. ”

Ye Bai glanced at Ramsay a little speechlessly, this is the black humor of Westerners, at this time there is still a mind to joke, but he also admitted that this guy is right, unless he can have the ability to produce torpedoes by himself and compress production costs, it is better to use torpedoes than to use bombs.

Nodding, Ye Bai continued to ask, “Then how many carrier-based aircraft do you think we should be equipped with now?” ”

“Commander, it depends on your financial situation, but I still recommend not equipping too many carrier-based aircraft in the early stage, after all, there are only 2 elevators on the Yanhuang, and the attendance rate of carrier-based aircraft is not high.”

At this time, Ye Bai completely understood, and quickly pulled Ramsey to discuss together, although the carrier-based aircraft sold in the system mall lagged behind, but there was also an advantage, that is, the price was cheap, and a bare machine was only about 100,000.

After upgrading the small space, Ye Bai still has more than 8 million left in his hands, and can buy more than 80 carrier-based aircraft in one go, of course, it is certainly impossible to spend all the money on the purchase of carrier-based aircraft, after all, it is also necessary to recruit pilots and buy fuel, ammunition, etc., and if necessary, even need to purchase a batch of fighter spare parts.

Because of Ramsey’s special status, he also knows some system rules that Lüttyans does not know, and in the world of exploration, fighters are like warships, and they will not be directly shot down by a shell.

It’s just that after the damage there will be damage to the fighter, and after returning home, without repairs and replacement of damaged spare parts, it will not be possible to take off again to fight.

With Ramsey, a professional as a staff officer, and according to the current funding situation in Ye Bai’s hands, he quickly worked out the current establishment of the Yanhuang’s carrier-based aircraft.

In view of the fact that there is no current air threat, the number of carrier-based fighters does not need to be too large, and only 2 squads are equipped with a total of 8 tube-nosed swallow carrier-based fighters, which can be used as reconnaissance aircraft for the time being.

As the main force of the Yanhuang’s long-range strike, the number of Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers can be more, fully equipped with a large group, a total of 48 aircraft, and with a squadron of 16 Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft, the Yanhuang is currently equipped with a total of 72 carrier-based aircraft.

The number of carrier-based aircraft has far exceeded the carrier-based aircraft accommodation standards of escort aircraft carriers, and even reached the level of Royal Ark-class light aircraft carriers, that is, there is a fleet of aircraft modified with space spars, otherwise, this cannot be done at all.

72 carrier-based aircraft, plus a larger number of pilots, corresponding fuel, aerial bombs, torpedoes, ammunition and other things, exhausted the funds in Ye Bai’s hands, leaving only 500,000 funds as the last reserve.

Just this, there is still no reserve of spare parts for carrier-based aircraft, otherwise even these 500,000 will not be saved, and fortunately those power equipment obtained before have not been sold, and now it can come in handy directly.

Otherwise, the small space of the upgraded logistics cabin and the energy demand of the transformed hangar have greatly increased, and if additional power equipment 167 is not added, the power system of the Yanhuang itself cannot be carried at all, and even the speed of 18 knots cannot be maintained.

A total of 72 carrier-based aircraft naturally will not all be placed in the hangar, according to Ramsey’s suggestion, Ye Bai put 4 of them tube-nosed swallow carrier-based fighters and 16 Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers on the flight deck, once something happens, they can take off as soon as possible, so as not to urgently need to transfer carrier-based aircraft from the hangar.

After doing these things, Ye Bai finally had time to go to the restaurant for a meal, returned to the bridge with ease, and explained to Lü Teyan, asking him to recycle all the battleships sent out.

The sky has gradually darkened, and the preparations on the Yanhuang are almost the same, and they have initially possessed combat effectiveness, so they don’t need to worry too much, and they can finally rest with peace of mind.

This quiet night, Ye Bai, who achieved the biggest goal this time, was naturally able to sleep peacefully, but those other players were different.

Tomorrow is the last day of this resource point battle, and both players who have lost before and players who have been watching the tiger fight from the beginning have begun to move.

Players communicate with each other through chat boards, forming loose player alliance organizations, and many player organizations are also taking the opportunity to recruit players, forming larger fleets and speeding towards the resource points in the event space.

Under the dark lights, night battles broke out in many places, although this night battle did not last long and was quite chaotic, but it fully demonstrated the urgency in the hearts of players.

You can imagine how fierce this battle for resource points will be after dawn, but these don’t care about Ye Bai’s affairs, with long-range air strike power, he no longer has to risk approaching the resource point battlefield, no matter how large the player fleet is, it is difficult for him, and safety is greatly guaranteed.
