Xili has been a host for a day and has already mastered a little bit of the trick.

The most basic operation of the host maintaining the atmosphere and state is to help the audience and the team members ask questions, and ask whether they understand or not.

In addition, I really don’t understand and I’m curious, so I asked directly without any concealment:

"Chongqing Jiang, why did your fleet specifically use the main gun with a lower caliber than the standard of the ship type?

"The light patrol was originally a six-inch gun. Yours used the standard main gun of the five-inch destroyer, and your destroyer had a lower four-inch gun..."

Facing the inquiring eyes of his partners, Xiao Chongqing smiled mysteriously and said:

"Of course it makes sense to choose this. You can see why when you watch the game..."

Xili immediately felt a little dissatisfied and wanted to ask, but the central gun guest Haiyangshan next to him said frankly:

"Because we don't specialize in developing artillery about 150 mm..."

Of course, this answer cannot satisfy the host, guests and the audience, so the Shimafeng next to him immediately asked:

"There are so many ship girls in the Central Islands, but there are not many main guns at the six-inch level, right? Your Chongqing seniors and Yixian seniors should have 152 guns!"

Ocean Mountain has no choice but to add:

"The actual combat effectiveness of those old-fashioned traditional light patrols is far less than that of the most recently equipped with the improved version of AK130."

Xili and Shimafeng were a little confused:

"Is a six-inch combat worse than a five-inch gun?"

Ocean Hill continues to add:

"It is a traditional six-inch cannon, not as good as this new 130mm cannon. Its rate of fire is 40 rounds per minute and a range of 30 kilometers. What is the comparison of a traditional six-inch cannon?"

Xili, Shimafeng, and Xianghe screamed at the same time:

"The total rate of fire in the double-unit is 40 rounds per minute? That is to say, the rate of fire in a single tube exceeds 20 rounds? Is this the rate of fire in the extreme state?"

"The five-inch-level artillery actually has an ultimate range of nearly thirty kilometers? How much is the effective range? Can it reach 20 kilometers?"

"I remember that the 76mm naval guns of those boats before had an effective range of 15 kilometers..."

Ocean Hill continues to add:

"It's not that the double-tube 40 rounds, but the single-tube fire rate is 40 rounds, and this is the continuous rate of fire. The single-tube limit rate is more than 50 rounds, and the total rate of fire rate is more than 100 rounds.

"As for range, 30 kilometers is the effective range, and it is almost the ultimate range..."

As representatives, almost all the audience widened their eyes and fell into incomprehensible astonishment.

Because the ship girl will not lie, now that she has made these parameters clear, it means that these parameters are all correct.

A few seconds later, Xili spoke again:

"Then... since there is such an excellent five-inch gun, why not use it for destroyers?"

Haiyangshan shook his head helplessly and said:

"Because it's too big and too heavy, his single turret has a complete installation weight of 90 tons.

"It has such high performance, but is not created out of thin air, but is achieved through modular automatic magazine loading, complete electrical and mechanical drive deconstruction, through special liquid cooling systems, and through special visual sighting and radar fire control systems.

"These modules are too heavy to be installed in a traditional destroyer's cabin of 2,000 tons. It takes at least 6,000 tons of hull to be installed.

"And at most, if you use a dual-unit device, if you change it to a triple device, the complexity and weight of the deconstruction will soar sharply again, so the highest-level 10,000-ton hull can only be used in dual-unit devices.

"If you have to equip the destroyer, you can only deconstruct and reduce it, but after the reduction, there will be no such high performance...

"If we want to develop a larger-caliber artillery of the same size, the tonnage of the turret will soar again, and the highest level should not be able to accommodate the same-class main gun of eight inches."

After Haiyangshan explained this, everyone understood. To put it bluntly, this is a destroyer gun with the scale of cruiser guns, or even heavy cruiser guns.

Traditional naval guns sacrifice speed to change caliber, but the people in the Central Archipelago here sacrifice caliber to change caliber.

Is this kind of trade-off worth it?

This answer came soon because the exercise field competition was ready to officially begin.

The "Super Yangyan" combination of both sides began to accelerate its sailing. While sailing to the opposite shore of the exercise field at a cruise speed, it used various means including seaplanes to carefully detect and observe the sea area around it.

According to the detailed rules of the game, you have to discover the target you want to hit. If you discover the target in advance, you can seize a reasonable position and start attacking. If you wait for the target to discover yourself, you have to be hit first.

The exercise field control core quickly set up the exercise target. In the area equivalent to 30 kilometers behind the fleets of both sides, there are also four light cruisers and four destroyers. However, the target fleet is faster, and the overall speed is maintained at a speed of 30 knots and sailing forward in a straight line.

The distance of 30 kilometers is not far, and the optical sighting ability of the heavy patrol level is enough to be discovered directly.

So the fleets of both sides discovered the target almost at the same time, and then the Longbow Fleet immediately began to adjust its navigation, obviously preparing to let the fleet get directly closer to the enemy and face the enemy horizontally as a whole.

Since the ship girl is a man-made war and is very convenient to adjust the direction, the difference between single vertical and single horizontal formations is already very small.

However, the best position of T still needs to be grabbed, that is, to make the fleet the horizontal line with the letter T as much as possible, and to make the enemy the vertical line.

In this way, your fleet is in front of the opponent's fleet, and all warships in the entire fleet are convenient for ranging and shooting. The key is that you can attack targets at the same time and can gather a single target in the entire fleet.

Even when the viewing and shelling parameters are set incorrectly, or when the shells are too large, there is a chance of hitting the enemy in front or behind the target.

At the same time, the enemies in the vertical fleet and most members of the fleet will be affected by their own fleet members. If they cannot easily attack horizontal opponents, it will become very difficult to concentrate fire, and most members will fall into a state of being beaten and beaten.

Therefore, if you want to compete for T-excellence and try to avoid T-excellence, both sides will compete for it. The final result is often a battle of the same air force or a battle against the air force...

While the Longbow Fleet was preparing to seize the favorable position, the Central Island Fleet had already opened fire.

The distance is 30 kilometers, and it is already at the effective range of the improved AK130 version. Under the guidance of radar fire control, the sighting and shooting are completed in an instant. When they come up, they fire with all their might. In a blink of an eye, they directly killed the front-row target ship.

The audience looked at the scenes of the two teams on the big screen and felt that the game had ended just now.
