() Seeing Pokryshkin's beautiful take-off action, Ron had to praise: "It's really Pokryshkin." Then he quickly released the brakes and started to take off.

After successfully taking off, Ron contacted Pokryshkin via radio, "Lieutenant Colonel Pokryshkin, are you okay?"

"Yes, such a big thing is much more flexible than expected." Pokryshkin made another roll to the left and right. "The roll is also very fast, not at all better than those single-shot ones."

The plane is bad, not even worse than the la-5fn."

"But if you try his hovering, you might be disappointed," Ron said.

"Let me try!" Pokryshkin rolled 90 degrees, and then started to pull the lever and hover.

"This guy's instantaneous hovering is pretty good... Well, the low-speed and stable hovering is really not that good. At most, it's about the same as the German FW-190. It loses speed too fast when circling violently."

Leshkin exited the circle and began to recover energy at an accelerated pace.

"Well, the acceleration performance is really good! It's much better than la-5fn." Pokryshkin praised.

"Actually, the most outstanding thing about it is its speed," Ron said, "Follow me, let's experience the extreme speed." Then Ron drove the P-81 and began to climb rapidly. We usually climb some

The maximum speed of the aircraft seen in the xing introduction actually has a limiting factor, and that is altitude. The higher the flying altitude, the thinner the air and the smaller the resistance, the faster it can fly in theory. But

On the other hand, the performance of the engine will continue to decrease as the altitude increases. Therefore, the higher the aircraft flies, the less power the engine can provide, and the slower the aircraft will be. In these two contradictory situations

Under the influence of various factors, the nominal maximum speed of any aircraft is the speed at a certain altitude section that is most suitable for its performance. So never see that the top speed of a certain aircraft is higher than that of another aircraft, just

I think it can fly faster than the latter at any altitude.

For example, the p-51d and Maozi's la-7, looking at the top speed alone, the p-51d has a top speed of 705 kilometers per hour, which is higher than the la-7's top speed of 680 kilometers per hour. But at low altitude, you will

It was found that the la-7 is much faster than the p-51d. At sea level, the la-7 can easily fly at a speed of more than 600. However, at this altitude, the p-51d only has a speed of about 580.

The plane quickly climbed to an altitude of 7,500 meters. It took less than 7 minutes. Such a climbing performance made Pokryshkin click his tongue.

"This aircraft is a climbing monster! Its dive must be great too? Well, none of your American products are bad at diving. With such climb and dive, no matter how bad it is in circling, it is still a top-notch aircraft!"

"Okay, let's look at the top speed again," Ron said.

"Okay!" Pokryshkin pushed the throttle valve to the maximum. Amidst the roar of the two Twin Wasp engines, the P-81 flew faster and faster.

"680,700,720,730...750, that's so fast!" Pokryshkin was excited as he watched the numbers on the speedometer keep rising.

At this moment, Ron's P-81 whizzed past him at a significantly higher speed.

"How do you fly so fast?"

"Because you didn't turn on the water assist."

In the end, both planes flew at a speed of 760 kilometers in level flight.

"What a great airplane! I like it more and more."

"01,02, you have flown too far, return immediately!" the tower's instructions came from the earphones.

Pokryshkin looked down: "We really flew too far. We are already close to the front line."

"Return." Ron said, "Let's dive down. First let you experience the feeling of diving to 900, and then we will try how fast it can fly at low altitude."

"Okay!" Pokryshkin took the lead and dived down.

At an altitude of 3,000 meters, they leveled the plane and began to return. At this time, an airport appeared at their 4 o'clock direction.

"You see, that's our frontline airfield, we have a squadron of IL-2s and some Yak-9s deployed there."

"I've heard about your IL-2. It's said to be a flying tank. Unfortunately, I've never seen it. When will you get one for me to fly?"

"That's no problem, I'll take care of it. Look, there are several IL-2s over there ready to land."

Ron looked over and saw that there were indeed several IL-2s circling, preparing to land.

"Wait, what is that!" Ron discovered that there were several planes not far from those IL-2s.

"Damn it, it's a German FW-190!" Pokryshkin immediately turned around and dived towards the enemy plane. Ron followed closely behind him.

Luther is an FW-190 ace with 25 kill records. Now he is leading a 4-machine formation on a safari mission. In fact, safari was first developed by the Germans on the Eastern Front.

In fact, a large part of the achievements of many super aces are sneak attacks during safari.

Now, Luther has his eyes on an IL-2 attack plane, and he plans to launch an attack when the opponent starts to align with the runway. Because, at that time, the pilot's full attention is focused on how to land safely. And

At that time, the altitude of the aircraft was low and the speed was slow, and it was impossible to make any evasive actions. In this case, Luther was very confident that he could accurately hit the IL-2 with the mk-108 during the attack.

However, just when the IL-2 was aligned with the runway, lowered its flaps and landing gear, and prepared to land, Luther also pounced on it with the FW-190. His wingman suddenly shouted: "Attention!

Enemy plane at 6 o’clock!”

Luther had no idea of ​​the specific position of the enemy plane relative to him. The tragic cockpit view of the fw-190 made it difficult for him to see the enemy plane at six o'clock, and his current altitude was also very unfavorable for making movements. Even,

In order to be able to launch precise attacks on IL-2, his speed is not very high either.

Luther knew he had no time to think, so he immediately made a defensive barrel roll.

In World War II, no aircraft could roll better than the FW-190A series. Therefore, through defensive barrel roll, the FW-190 could escape from being attacked at six o'clock and even have a chance.

Let others rush to the front and become your target. However, the timing of doing this action is very important. If you do it too late, all the shells will hit you; if you do it too early, they will pull up the plane and watch you below.

You're wasting your own energy (any tactical action will result in energy loss), and when you've wasted it all, you can do whatever you want to deal with you!

Of course Luther knew that his action might be a little too early, but this was a safer approach. As for the subsequent problems, he could still pin his hopes on other friendly aircraft.

This action indeed allowed him to escape from the muzzle. During the barrel roll, Luther also saw the two fighter jets trying to attack him, as well as the clear blue and white five-star logos on the two planes.

"Isn't this an American plane? How did it come to the Eastern Front?" Luther's heart was full of doubts.

But now is not the time for doubts. The two strange aircraft quickly completed a small-radius somersault and dived towards the other FW-190.

"Carter, get out of the way!" Luther shouted.

The fw-190 made a sharp turn and escaped from Pokryshkin's gun, but bumped into Ron's gun. Of course, Ron had no reason to let go of such an opportunity. All in one

She, that fw-190 started to smoke.

Ron and Pokryshkin ignored the FW-190 that was already on fire. Instead, they pulled up the plane again and dived towards the other two FW-190s that were trying to climb.

At this time, those IL-2s also stopped landing and began to form a formation. At the same time, at the airport, several Yak-9s were taxiing on the runway at high speed. As long as Ron and Pokryshkin could temporarily suppress these four FWs

-190, these Yak-9s can take off smoothly and join the battle. So at this time, Ron and Pokryshkin's strategy is to give priority to attacking those German fighter jets that are trying to approach the airport and are preparing to take off, so that they can

Unable to threaten the Yak-9 taking off.

This was not difficult for Ron and Pokryshkin. In fact, just after Ron hit one of the FW-190s and set it on fire, the remaining three FW-190s were already very nervous.

.Now the Germans are no longer thinking about how to achieve victory. They are now thinking about how to escape safely.

However, it is not necessarily easy to escape in front of the P-81 with energy advantage. The pilot on the FW-190 that just caught fire has already parachuted. Ron saw that there were already motorcycles and jeeps from the ground forces (aided by the United States)

Heading over there, if that guy wasn't so lucky, he probably would have had to go to Siberia to cut wood.

Now, the two FW-190s that were targets of Ron and Pokryshkin lowered their altitude to about 10 meters in order to save their lives. In this way, Ron and Pokryshkin wanted to swoop down on them.

It wasn't easy. But Ron didn't care. He and Pokryshkin kept their height steadily, waiting for the opportunity.

At a height of 10 meters, it cannot fly fast anyway (if it goes fast, it will hit a mountain or a big tree). So both Ron and Pokryshkin felt that Pokryshkin’s impact on the P-81

When the performance has not been fully mastered, it is a safer choice to wait and let the Yak-9s that are taking off catch up and attack them.

At this time, four Yak-9s had already flown over. Through the radio, Pokryshkin explained the mission to them. He and Ron turned around to look for Luther's plane that had just escaped in another direction.
