Under Attack

In addition to its four 1,000mm main guns with a total of twenty barrels, the White Eagle-class was also equipped with twelve triple-mounted 500mm secondary guns.

These secondary guns were installed within the ship's flanks. In battle, their turrets extended from the upper and lower sides of the warship. Unlike the main guns, the secondary guns could only maintain one hundred percent firepower when firing forward. When attacking the flanks, angle limitations reduced their maximum firepower to eighty percent.

Besides these large-caliber main and secondary guns, Tang Shizhe had also added a full seventy-two close-in defense cannons to the White Eagle-class at the Federation's request!

The primary targets of these close-in defense cannons were the enemy's incoming biological fighters—the special biological spacecraft Tang Shizhe called Wasps.

These biological spacecraft were not particularly large, about the same size as human fighters, measuring several meters long with wingspans of more than ten meters.

However, these creatures were far more agile than fighters. In a dogfight, human fighters would be no match for these Wasps.

Especially since during dogfights, the Wasps liked to land atop their target fighters and directly destroy their cockpits.

Tang Shizhe jokingly referred to this attack method as "Wasp face-riding."

Because of this, the Federation had nearly abandoned all fighter development programs and moved all its weapons onto warships, relying on their thick armor to defend against Wasp attacks!

The facts proved this strategy highly effective. Lacking weapons of mass destruction, the Zerg Wasps simply could not penetrate warship armor and could only destroy the ships' turrets in battle.

In addition to these turrets, the White Eagle-class was also equipped with Honeycomb Rockets.

Some might ask: what era was this? Why equip warships with rockets instead of more accurate missiles?!

Unfortunately, the Wasps accompanying Zerg fleets gave missiles no
