"Imperial Air Force The two aviation clusters deployed in South Seas and Australia must also be prepared for combat. Although Island Nation's aviation power is not weak, the representative one is only Zero Carrier Fighter. Our BF-109 fighter jets and the carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets are no better than the Zero Carrier-based aircraft is inferior, let alone the more powerful FW-190 fighter. Moreover, our engineers have found a way to deal with Zero Carrier Fighter. I believe that our pilots can deal with this fighter with super low-altitude dogfighting performance. This will give us a great advantage when dealing with Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft troops!" Oscar said.
Island Nation The most famous fighter among World War II is undoubtedly Zero Carrier Fighter. Although this kind of fighter is not very fast, it has excellent low-altitude dogfighting performance and has a very long range. This made them almost beat Americans's F4F fighter plane into dogs in the early stages of Pacific War in World War II in another time and space. So much so that many United States Naval Aviation pilots no longer dare to take to the air to fight. This situation was not changed until F4U fighter plane entered service and Americans also found a way to deal with Zero Carrier Fighter.
The advantages of Zero fighter are mainly in low-altitude dogfighting. As long as you don't get into a dog fight with them, it's easy to get rid of them. For example, the most classic tactic against Zero fighters is undoubtedly to take advantage of speed and climb to conduct dive attacks from high altitudes. After completing an attack, use the advantages of speed and climbing to get rid of Zero fighter's pursuit. After reaching high altitude, continue the dive attack. If Zero fighter keeps pursuing them, their body structure is not strong enough and it will fall apart. After all, in order to achieve ultra-long range, Zero fighter has been made as lightweight as possible in terms of materials, so that its strength is not strong. This makes it very likely that Zero fighter will disintegrate in the air if it dives too fast. And, once hit, it is likely to be destroyed. Unlike the German military fighter, a certain amount of armor is installed on key parts to withstand low-intensity attacks. Of course, these defects of the Zero fighter are largely due to the insufficient engine performance of the Island Nation. Otherwise, these deficiencies can be addressed.
For example, the engine used by Zero fighter is only 950 horsepower, while the engine of the FW-190 fighter jet is as high as 1,550 horsepower, and the engine of the BF-109 fighter jet is also as high as 1,100 horsepower. Carrier-based fighter jets need more powerful engines to further improve the structural strength of the aircraft body, so that the fighter jets can achieve greater speeds.
United States's fighters are almost all equipped with powerful engines. They even believe that as long as the power is strong, even a brick can fly into the sky. This can be seen from the appearance of US military fighter planes. They have taken this point of view to the extreme.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Imperial Air Force 5th Air Group and 6th Air Group are ready for battle! Once the Island Nation people really dare to attack us, we will make them pay an unbearable price!" Albert Field Marshal Kesselring said.
Oscar nodded. After he became German Emperor, or before he became Germany crown prince, he paid special attention to the development of the air force. This enables German Air Force to now be equipped with so many advanced fighters, and it is completely at the leading level in the world.
"By the way, Field Marshal Kesselring, how are you preparing for the strategic bombing of Buru?" Oscar asked.
To defeat Russia, we must not only eliminate their army on the battlefield, but also attack their industrial production capabilities. Especially military production. If Buru's ability in this area could be destroyed, it would be relatively easy for Germany to defeat Buru. After all, without enough weapons and equipment, should those Russian soldiers be allowed to deal with German military with their bare hands? In that case, I'm afraid the only chance is to be crushed by German military. Therefore, Oscar has always attached great importance to the development of Strategic Air Force.
"Your Majesty, after several months of preparation, we are almost ready to launch strategic bombing of Buru. We have built a large number of airports within Poland, Belarus and Ukraine for strategic Bomber to take off. Now, those airports are ready for use. In terms of long-range fighters, BF-110 fighter jets have also accumulated enough numbers to provide escort for our strategic Bomber." Albert Field Marshal Kesselring said.
Previously, German Air Force's strategy Bomber had insufficient numbers and at the same time not enough long-range fighters. In addition, the airport and other related supporting facilities are not yet ready. This has delayed German Air Force's strategic bombing of Buru.
Oscar nodded. "When can the strategic bombing begin? How large a scale can we launch to bomb Buru?"
"Your Majesty, we will be ready within a week at the latest. This time, we will dispatch one thousand two hundred Long-Range Strategic Bomber to conduct strategic bombing against Buru. Among them, 900 H-11 heavy long-range Bomber and 300 H-21 heavy long-range Bomber." Albert Field Marshal Kesselring said.
"It seems that our quantity of Long-Range Strategic Bomber is still not enough!" Oscar said.
"Your Majesty, currently Strategic Air Force has a total of only one thousand two hundred H-11 heavy long-range Bomber and three hundred H-21 heavy long-range Bomber. The H-11 heavy long-range bomber has been discontinued and is now in production. The production of H-21 long-range Bomber is expected to reach one hundred aircraft per month. In addition, the more advanced H-31 heavy-duty long-range Bomber is also expected to be mass-produced in the next year." Albert Field Marshal Kesselring replied.
Although the cost of the heavy-duty long-range Bomber is very high, this Bomber has a long range and a large bomb load, and is an indispensable main force in strategic bombing. Therefore, Germany is still working hard to create this huge weapon of war.
"The scale of our heavy-duty strategic Bomber must be at least three thousand. In this case, it will be barely enough." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Albert Field Marshal Kesselring nodded.
If you want to reach the numbers required by Oscar, then German Air Force will need to further purchase more heavy-duty long-range Bomber. Based on the current gap, it will take one year and three months to meet it, not counting losses. If the losses in the war are deducted, then Germany needs to produce more heavy-duty long-range Bomber. To solve this problem, Albert Field Marshal Kesselring knew that he must find a way to further increase the production of heavy-duty long-range Bomber.
