An even larger flight formation descended over Saffi Port like vultures spotting carrion.
They circled briefly, seemingly confirming their targets, then split into eight groups and began diving.
Thus, the attacking aircraft, whether Breakers or Raiders, had all undergone corresponding modifications to meet the demands of carrier-based attacks and carry immensely powerful air-launched torpedoes.
First, the airframes had to be lightened. The only way was to reduce their armor, transforming them from flying tanks into flying motorcycles.
Second, to fly low over the sea, the fighters' wings were adjusted accordingly. Their wing-mounted cannons were removed, and concealed fuel tanks were added inside the wings to improve endurance.
The most crucial element, naturally, was the bomb bay.
Ork air-launched torpedoes were terrifying weapons weighing a full ton. Their design combined features of torpedoes and rockets, with small stabilizing fins on both sides that allowed them to quickly correct their attitude after entering the water.
To achieve maximum destructive power, every air-launched torpedo was packed with high explosives, and the Snotling guidance function was therefore removed.
This also meant that these air-launched torpedoes could only attack targets in a straight line.
Therefore, the pilots' launch angles were extremely important.
But they had not had much time to train. They could only rely on their own abilities.
One squadron was the first to reach attack altitude. Painted on the lead aircraft's fuselage was a blurry image of a Squig Shark tearing into a human—this was the Big Red Shark Squadron.
The lead aircraft descended to just over two hundred meters above the sea. By then, the anti-aircraft fire from the human warships had come alive one after another, with large and small anti-aircraft cannons and machine guns making the sky ring like metal.
But without question, due to their sight settings, they could
