Chapter 1026 Want to learn? I'll teach you
Because it was a sudden attack, and this was a neutral star field, there was no regular army guarding it. At most, it was a planetary defense force like the Alan Star Chain.
Their mobilization speed and equipment quality were far from being comparable to the army. The attack was so sudden that not many ships could arrive immediately.
As a result, the Swan was captured, and was fired at the cannons of the pirate fleet in the distance in a position that was not suitable for a light cruiser.
Fleet battles are still the same as naval battles, with formations to concentrate firepower. At most, the battle lines of naval battles have been changed into more complex wheel formations, a method of maximizing the power of naval guns.
It's the right thing to do, but it doesn't make sense.
"Have you put on your heavy-duty anti-pressure suit."
"Fang Lanyin helped me find the one with the best anti-stress effect."
"Okay, then let's go."
Hall quickly fastened his seat belt and grasped the driver's seat armrest with both hands.
Fang Lanyin exited the heat insulation gate of the hangar, and the modified Manta escaped from the airlock driven by the engine and flew away from under the wings of the Swan.
"I'm going to play for a while, Hall is with me, don't worry."
This was not said to Hall, but to Alyssa on the channel.
Alyssa just remained silent for a moment, and then the communication was cut off.
Hall heard 'f*ck' from Alyssa's silence...
Leaving the Swan, the first thing you saw was a large number of shuttles and space fighters emerging from the small airlock of the space station behind you. They were also preparing to deal with the pirates, but they still needed time to form.
The cockpit also immediately beeped, indicating that there was communication coming in.
"Tell them I don't need formation."
Hall opened his mask and operated on the keyboard. While notifying him, he also sent an identification friend or foe signal.
Just as he was about to close the mask, Li Chengqi said again:
"Although you are a pilot and it shouldn't be a problem, I suggest you don't fasten the mask."
Why?
Just when Hall was about to say this, a strong push pushed her down on her seat. The engine power of the Manta was turned to the maximum, and the number on the speedometer was increasing rapidly.
The roar of the engine made the body tremble slightly, giving people a feeling that it might fall apart at any time. The Manta deliberately avoided the area of the fleet artillery battle, and beams of main gun beams flew over the Manta. .
Hall held on to the armrest tightly. The sudden acceleration would definitely make people uncomfortable, but as long as the acceleration was steady, this feeling would disappear immediately.
It's like sitting on a high-speed train, you won't even feel the shaking or acceleration.
Now flying in a stable, high-speed straight line, Hall could see through the cockpit glass that large swaths of engine light appeared in his field of vision, and there were dozens of them according to visual inspection.
"They are all shuttles, and the space fighter planes are also very old models. There is no big problem."
When Hall saw the other party, of course the other party also saw the Manta. Far away, there was a row of ion beams mixed with tracer bullets coming toward him.
Hall reflexively wanted to grab the joystick, but the joystick rotated and pressed down first.
The Manta Ray also followed Li Chengqi's operation, rolled half a circle and dived fiercely.
The distance was already so far that only the light of the engine could be seen, and the Manta was still maneuvering at high speed. It would be a disaster if it could hit it.
The opponent's barrage shooting probably means that if you don't hit, you won't lose, but if you hit, you will gain blood.
The Manta Ray, which avoided the barrage, drew a 'J'-shaped trajectory and made an attitude as if it wanted to shoot at a steep angle from below.
The pirates also noticed it, and the fleet immediately dispersed, outflanking it from the left and right. This is actually very troublesome. The pirates are on top. If they flank them from left to right, they can swoop down and shoot from above. The performance of the Manta Ray will not crush the pirates.
The advantage of dive shooting is that when two high-speed aircraft are in the same direction, the relative speed will approach 0, making it very easy to aim, and it is difficult for the person being targeted to even see the situation above.
If it were another pilot, Hall would definitely think that he made a mistake and gave up an excellent attack position to the enemy. But the man who piloted the Manta was Li Chengqi, who could challenge the ship alone. Hall felt that he must have something. Intend.
Sure enough, when the pirate entered the best attack position and began to dive towards the Manta, it immediately rolled half a circle with its butt upwards, as if it had eyes on its back, and pulled up the joystick hard.
Cannonballs and ion beams flew past the edge of the Manta's belly. Hall felt that all the blood in his body was gathering towards his head. Then he saw that the Manta actually circled around the Corsair that had just wanted to dive and attack it. The space fighter is behind.
The machine body shook slightly, and the two pirate shuttles exploded with precise short shots.
"What did you just do?"
Hall was shocked.
"It's nothing, just a typical anti-BZ strategy."
Dive attack, commonly known as BZ, the attacker flies at an oblique angle from top to bottom. It is easy to aim, has a high hit rate, and is safe and effective. During World War II, the German BF109 fighter jet was a master at this trick.
This tactic evolved from the strategy of hawks preying on pigeons. In the early days of the war, they repeatedly performed extraordinary feats against the Soviet Union's low-speed pesticide machines, which can be called target practice.
But a tactic cannot always be effective. The more you are beaten, the more natural countermeasures you will find.
When the attacked machine flips over and pulls up, it will draw a spin in the air.
The advantage of this is that the attacker will disappear from the attacker's sight at the moment of maneuver, completely out of sight, and naturally unable to aim.
Of course, this is just a way to break the BZ. Li Chengqi used it because this move can maximize the performance of the Manta.
The Manta's engines are mounted on the wings, and the wings are variable wings, giving the Manta's ordinary engines a certain vector propulsion capability.
Although it is only a two-dimensional vector at most, that is, up and down, this advantage means that the dive and climb performance of the Manta Ray are much better than that of ordinary shuttles.
The result was that the pirate swooped down to attack Li Chengqi, but he was moved behind him and lit up with an orange flash.
That's right, Li Chengqi was fishing for law enforcement just now, to see if the reckless man who reads "idiot" and writes "cute" will follow him. This trick has been tried and tested when playing games. It is a typical tactic to bully newcomers.
Then the joystick was released, and the Manta Ray entered a rolling flight state, which made Hall's eyes almost blurry.
She saw the ion beams and shells fired from behind flying past the side of the Manta, flying in front of the glass of the cockpit, and finally disappearing into the void.
"This is a defensive roller, a tactic used to interfere with the aiming of enemy aircraft behind them. However, the pilot needs to carefully observe the rear, otherwise he will not know whether the enemy is in chaos or he might be knocked unconscious first."
As if teaching Hall, Li Chengqi broke out of the rolling flight state and immediately climbed up.
Hall also wondered whether Li Chengqi was showing off some new tactics. Then he saw a beige beam of light coming from the direction of the pirates, and the Manta Ray was able to avoid it.
The fleet was just above. When it was rolling and flying just now, it unknowingly ran into the area where the naval guns were exchanging fire.
But the pirate shuttle that was chasing the Manta was not so lucky. It was hit by its own naval gun and was cremated on the spot.
"Luck? This is not luck."
The Manta dived again, facing the pursuing pirate fleet head-on without fear.
"You have to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions when driving, let alone flying a shuttle."
Only then did Hall realize that Li Chengqi had deliberately led the pirate shuttle into his own firing line.
