Ship transformation, the admiral goes to the military police to repent

"No problem, just leave it to me."

At a distance of 6 nautical miles, the snow wind cannot hit directly.

The muzzles of the nine main guns aimed at the target ship were slightly raised, and even the six secondary guns were aimed at the target.

"volley!"

More than a dozen shells drew a beautiful parabola and fell straight towards the target.

But even if it is 6 nautical miles, it is still a long-distance shooting of more than 10 kilometers.

After 12 seconds, the shell landed perfectly around the target ship but did not hit the target.

This made Wei An frown. It was okay to shoot at fixed targets.

As soon as the moving target appeared, the disadvantage of hit rate became apparent.

There is no fire control system, and the ship girl has to rely on her own aiming, which causes too many uncertainties.

But Xuefeng was not discouraged.

The shell had just hit the water, and she had already corrected her aiming position in time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Another round of salvos, this time the effect was obviously much better, with two hits.

This is also the difference between a KanColle and an ordinary battleship. A battleship is the result of hundreds or thousands of brains thinking, while a KanColle controls the entire battleship with just one thought.

The release of battleship capabilities is also greatly exceeded, and there is also adjustment capability.

Xuefeng's bombardment made Elizabeth nod.

"Let's start the next step, mobile shooting."

The battleship's speed, which had been slowing down, began to speed up again under Wei'an's command.

At the same time, Vian gestured to the Hornet carrier-based aircraft that had been hovering around him.

At the same time, he and Elizabeth returned to the command room and no longer stayed on the deck.

The accelerating bow of the Yukikaze cut through the water, while the main guns on the deck did not stop their firing.

He continued firing volleys, and thanks to the previous calibration, Xuefeng could barely maintain a hit rate of two shots at a time.

But this is also based on the assumption that the target ship's speed is only about 10 knots, and the enemy will not be stupid enough to wait for your bombardment on the sea.

When Xuefeng's speed just reached 25 knots, the sound of propellers was heard in the sky.

"Prepare for evasion, secondary guns fire."

Because Xuefeng did not have an anti-aircraft machine gun installed, he could only rely on his secondary guns to try to shoot down planes.

Fortunately, in Wei'an's opinion, 99% of the aircraft on aircraft carriers are propeller planes.

The problem is that the flying speed is not very fast, which makes it possible to shoot down the plane.

And it is a battleship controlled by a ship girl.

But through this simple exercise, I clearly understood what the current Yukikaze and future ship girls lack: fire control.

To a certain extent, it can improve the artillery hit rate of low-level ship girls.

There were targets in the distance that needed to be shot at, and there were interferences from aircraft in the sky. It was an exercise that should have been conducted in steps, but Wei'an just let them do it all at once.

Xuefeng was in great pain now.

This batch of Hornets launched 10 carrier-based aircraft, with the aircraft flying at a relatively slow speed and the Hornet's superb control.

This time, Yukikaze's 12 secondary guns fired rapidly. Compared to the main guns which took 20 seconds to reload, the secondary guns were obviously much faster, taking only 3 seconds to fire a round.

When 10 planes arrived over the Yukikaze, there were still 7 of them, and then they dropped "bombs" one by one onto the Yukikaze deck and superstructure.

With the interference from above and the need to maintain power while taking evasive action against the aircraft, Yukikaze's shells at the target ship were all empty.

Wei An, who was standing next to Xuefeng, could see that Xuefeng's little face was a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

“It has greatly exceeded my expectations.”

Compared to the anxiety on Xuefeng's face, Elizabeth and Bumblebee were very surprised.

"I didn't expect that Xuefeng's secondary guns could shoot down planes. They're quite powerful."

Because others don’t know, don’t they know?

Bumblebee is a veteran who has fought on the front lines for a long time. The evasion of her aircraft has surpassed that of most aircraft carrier girls.

Because she has a b25 and needs to carry out bombing missions, she is more proficient in aircraft combat than other aircraft carrier girls, and she is better at evading the battleship's air defense.

Even in this situation, Xuefeng, who was not very skilled yet, bombarded three of her planes.

How to not surprise them.

But at this time, another burst of artillery roar was heard.

"avoid!"

Wei An, who felt that Xuefeng's CPU was already overheating, continued to give orders.

The reputation that had reached the designated target area in the distance began to bombard Xuefeng.

This time, what we need to look at is Xuefeng's evasive ability.

But reputation still underestimated Xuefeng's speed.

The moment the order was given, the snow wind had accelerated to 35 knots and the battleship began a large-angle evasive maneuver.

When Wei'an was first building the hull for Xuefeng, he was worried that Xuefeng's operability would be reduced due to the large length-to-width ratio of the warship.

Now he felt that he was overthinking.

It's really unreasonable for the ship girl to make such a perfect avoidance at a speed of 35 knots.

By the time the shells arrived, they were all in the water.

It was Elizabeth and the others who completely knelt down to Xuefeng's motivation.

A large battleship that is more agile than today's destroyers. Other battleships of the same size are like a joke.

Moreover, Yukikaze's air defense capabilities were beyond the understanding of several ship girls. She was able to shoot down 3 planes before she had even mastered the use of secondary guns.

Once you become proficient at it, encountering an ordinary deep-sea aircraft carrier suicide attack won't be a big problem.

Chapter 61: You, the destroyer, know a lot!

The main guns are among the most powerful among heavy cruisers, and their speed and maneuverability exceed those of destroyers.

The 12 secondary guns are comparable to the destroyer's main guns and can also shoot down aircraft.

At the same time, Elizabeth's doubts arose again.

"Does Yukikaze still have torpedoes now?"

Because now Elizabeth didn't see Yukikaze's torpedo tubes on the deck.

"Just tell me where to hit the lightning."

While Vian and Elizabeth were communicating, Xuefeng was still operating the machine seriously, having gotten over the initial chaos.

Under the pressure from the other three ship girls, Yukikaze is also growing rapidly, unlike other ship girls who just come during exercises to fire a few shots and then leave.

Wei An wanted to see where Xuefeng's limits were, and at the same time, to better find Xuefeng's flaws himself.

Another round of bombardment came from Reputation. As expected, Xuefeng dodged it easily this time without even a scratch.

She had no way to deal with the Hornet's plane and could only watch the Hornet drop the practice bombs onto her deck.

But even in this panic, Yukikaze was able to shoot down half of the Hornet's planes, which was a huge improvement.

"Then let me see your torpedo strike again. Just fire it directly at the target ship."

"It's none of my business if it sinks?"

Vian asked Elizabeth, still somewhat cautiously.

"The target ship is just some steel resources, it's worthless."

Seeing Elizabeth's nonchalant expression, Vian felt relieved.

"Sister, turn and head towards the target ship."

"Okay, Xiaowei!"

After hearing that they could launch torpedoes, Xuefeng and Wei'an both showed some excitement in their eyes.

After the tests by the three ship girls, everyone was very satisfied with Yukikaze's previous performance. Most of the time, they would not encounter such pressure when facing the deep sea.

At the same time, the female kitchen god on the tugboat also untied the trailer in time to avoid accidental injury.

It was fine if they were just firing practice shells, but now that they were being loaded with real torpedoes, she still needed to be careful.

The target was only 6 nautical miles away, and we were approaching at a speed of 40 knots at Yukikaze.

It takes only 9 minutes to reach the target, you can imagine how fast it is.

Five minutes later, several ship girls saw several small holes on the side of the Yukikaze battleship.

At the same time, the Yukikaze hull made a small turn to aim the torpedoes. A total of six torpedoes were fired one after another, quickly approaching the target ship under the water.

"Six-link!"

However, what surprised the ship girls the most was not the torpedoes of the Yukikaze Rokuren, but the fact that the speed of the torpedoes was not much faster than that of the Yukikaze battleship.

This was also Wei'an's helpless compromise after investigating various ship equipment data.

In this world, the later torpedoes were not found in the torpedo ships. They were all pre-war torpedoes.

When the speed is about 40 knots+ and the target range exceeds 8 nautical miles, the speed of most torpedoes will reach 35 knots.

Even the snow wind can't outrun it.

At the same time, they also realized what it meant that Yukikaze's speed could outrun the torpedoes, and the threat of lightning strikes to Yukikaze was further reduced.

The slower the warship, the more it fears: torpedoes.

If a cannon hits your superstructure you still have a chance of survival, but if a torpedo hits your hull underwater you still have a chance of survival.

Just wait to die.

Then the group of ship girls saw that the torpedo with a speed of 46 knots was being chased by the Yukikaze at a speed of 40 knots, and it had not been left far behind.

After finding the right angle, six more torpedoes were fired from the other side, fearing that the target ship would not sink completely enough.

Elizabeth, who was closer to Vian, had already started pulling at Vian's clothes.

"What on earth did you pack for Xuefeng, kid?"

"12 torpedoes! What are you doing?!"

They had thought that the rest of Yukikaze's armaments would have surprised them enough, but they hadn't expected this.

Wei'an is not a human being. When the 12 torpedoes are hidden inside the hull and not fired, it looks like an ordinary battleship.

However, it is easy to grab the T-shaped cross-head position when the speed is advantageous. Do you think it is just an ordinary bombardment?

In the process of seizing the advantage, Xuefeng can launch a sneak attack with torpedoes, and the most important issue is.

The hulls of KanColle are not like ordinary battleships. Their torpedoes can be generated at sea and can be reloaded.

At most, different torpedoes have different loading speeds, and Yukikaze carries two six-mounted torpedoes, which means she can launch half as many torpedoes at a time compared to the two triple-mounted torpedoes carried by other ship girls.

The ship girl is almost at the battleship level, but she still has to compete for the mission with the destroyer girl.

Elizabeth's words made Vian touch his nose embarrassedly.

"There's also sonar and deep projection. I've already told you that Yukikaze is a destroyer. She'll definitely be able to do anything a destroyer can do."

As for Xuefeng Wei'an, she has always been equipped with weapons according to the standards of a destroyer.

It's just that the tonnage is a little bit bigger, the hull is a little bit bigger, the speed is a little bit faster, and the firepower is a little bit stronger.

She can do what a destroyer can do, and she can also do what a destroyer cannot do. If she is not a destroyer, then what is she?

At the same time, Vian was a little disappointed when he saw the 12 torpedoes fired by Yukikaze. Six torpedoes were fired at two intervals. If it was a warship with a faster speed, it would still be possible to avoid it.

When he was looking for ship equipment, he was actually looking for a torpedo high-tech ship equipment and a torpedo reloading system, which came from the same country as the torpedoes that Xuefeng was currently using.

You can pre-load torpedoes, then quickly reload and fire again after launching a torpedo.
