"General, can our F4U fighter plane be able to deal with Germany's fighter jets?" Rear Admiral Corville asked.
Although Rear Admiral Corville can be regarded as a senior official of American Navy, as the chief of staff of the Capital Ships formation, he does not have much contact with Carrier-based aircraft. Although he knew that F4U fighter plane was American Navy's most advanced fighter jet. However, he was not sure whether this kind of fighter could compete with German Navy's advanced fighter. After all, Germany people are far ahead in terms of aircraft. Since the beginning of this World War, German Navy has been beating the planes of other countries around the world.
"I don't know either! I have to admit that the paper data of F4U fighter plane is still very good. However, whether it can fight against German aircraft still needs to be tested in combat." Admiral Haspen Kimmel said.
"May God protect us!" Rear Admiral Corville said.
Although the shore-based aircraft of German Navy are closer to the United States Capital Ships formation. However, the speed of American Navy and Carrier-based aircraft is as high as 600 kilometers. German aircraft group has to take care of Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber, and its maximum speed is less than 400 kilometers. Therefore, Carrier-based aircraft of American Navy finally intercepted German aircraft group before they arrived.
The escort formation method used by German Navy fighter planes is that fighter jets are at high altitude, while Bomber and Torpedo bomber are below. In this case, once an enemy is discovered, the fighter jet can immediately dive to attack. However, American Navy and F4U fighter plane are also at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. So much so that the fighters from both sides discovered each other almost at the same time.
"Discover Americans's aircraft, fighter jets attack, cover Bomber and Torpedo!" Commander of German military immediately issued the order.
"Attack, give priority to killing those Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of the Germany people!" American Navy's Carrier-based aircraft's Commander also gave the order. When intercepting enemy aircraft groups, Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber, which pose a fatal threat to warships, often become the primary attack targets. After all, the heavy-duty Aerial Bomb carried by these Bomber and the heavy-duty aviation Torpedo carried by Torpedo bomber can pose a fatal threat to one's own warships. Only by shooting them down can the safety of our own fleet be ensured.
A fierce air battle began immediately. Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of German Navy spread out to avoid the attack of F4U fighter plane of American Navy. German Navy's FW-190 fighter jet bravely rushed towards the US military fleet.
Although, in terms of quantity, the escort fleet of German Navy is slightly smaller. However, they were not afraid.
"Da da da!"
"Dong dong dong!"
A fierce air battle broke out immediately. Fighters from both sides used aviation machine guns and cannons to attack the opposing fighters.
Fighters one after another chased, rolled, climbed or dived in the sky, trying their best to shoot down the enemy's aircraft or get rid of the enemy's lock.
I have to admit that both F4U fighter plane and FW-190 fighter jets are very advanced fighter jets. Especially the FW-190 fighter. Except for the TA-152 fighter, the pinnacle of propeller fighters, it is estimated that no fighter can truly surpass this fighter. Even if it is F4U fighter plane of American Navy, it will not work either.
Coupled with these F4U fighter plane of American Navy, the target of attack is placed on those Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber, which gives the FW-190 fighter of German Navy more opportunities.
"Go to hell, Germany people!"
A US military F4U fighter plane seized an opportunity and locked German military and a Dive Bomber.
The Dive Bomber also discovered the danger and swayed left and right, trying to get away from the US military fighter plane. However, the Dive Bomber, which carries two heavy-duty aviation Armor-piercing Shells weighing 500 kilograms, is inherently clumsy, and it is almost impossible to get rid of the flexible fighter.
"Da da da!"
After placing the target in the sight, the US military pilot pressed the fire button.
"Da da da!"
Six 12.7mm aviation machine guns began to fire, and tracer bullets drew white lines in the air. The dense bullets left bullet holes one after another on the body of the Dive Bomber.
A series of bullets hit the wing of Dive Bomber. The wing was directly broken by the bullet, which caused Dive Bomber to lose its balance and fall toward the sea.
"Haha, the first victory!" United States pilot cheered.
But before he could stop laughing, his plane was attacked. A FW-190 fighter jet from German military dived down from above and launched an attack.
"Da da da!"
The bullet from the aviation machine gun penetrated the cockpit glass of the aircraft and hit the pilot. Blood spurted out from the pilot's body, staining the entire cockpit red. After losing control, the plane fell toward the sea at high speed, hitting the sea and splashing high water columns.
"Dong dong dong!"
A F4U fighter plane was hit by a cannon shell from an FW-190 fighter jet. Even though the FW-190 fighter's body structure is very strong, it cannot withstand cannon shells.
During the explosion, the F4U fighter plane was almost torn into pieces. The pilot was killed on the spot, not to mention escaping by parachuting.
The air battle was very fierce. Those F4U fighter planes of American Navy were almost chasing Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber of German Navy. Bomber and Torpedo bomber were shot down one after another. Bomber and Torpedo bomber, which carried bombs and Torpedo, were even more clumsy and could not resist Americans's F4U fighter plane. But at the same time, these F4U fighter plane were chased by the FW-190 fighter jets of German Navy. Under the attack of the FW-190 fighter jets, they were shot down one after another.
Although American Navy and F4U fighter plane tried their best, they still could not escape the pursuit of those FW-190 fighter jets. On the one hand, there is still a certain gap between the fighters of both sides. Although this gap is not large, it puts F4U fighter plane of American Navy at a disadvantage in the battle. In many cases, it is unable to escape the pursuit of German military's FW-190 fighter and is shot down. On the other hand, there is a gap in the quality of the pilots on both sides. The quality of the pilots of German Navy is obviously higher than that of the pilots of American Navy. The combination of these two factors makes F4U fighter plane of American Navy gradually fall into a disadvantage even though it is numerically superior.
As more and more F4U fighter planes were shot down, American Navy's disadvantage in air combat became more and more obvious.
"Damn, I'm bitten, I can't get rid of it!" a US military pilot exclaimed.
"Roll, roll now!"
The pilot complied, but German military's FW-190 fighter followed closely and began to roll, still holding on. Until the last shot is fired and the F4U fighter plane is sunk.
