In addition, some very powerful combat units also appeared. At the second-level base, only the Soviet Army's top unit, the Apocalypse Tank, can be built. By the time the third-level base is completed, two equally powerful combat weapons, the Future Tank VX-1 and the Ghost King Mecha, have also appeared.
The super artificial intelligence future tank vx-1 carries laser weapons and neutron spread weapons. Its lethality is extremely amazing, but the cost is also amazing. As an army equipment, the cost of a future tank is more than that of a Black Hawk. Fighter, this rhythm still makes Qi Yiming very uncomfortable.
Generally speaking, the Ghost King mecha is more powerful than any other mecha model in Pla at this stage. It has a larger body shape and defense power, as well as the weird double-eyed death ray cannon, and it is relatively flexible among army units. The agility and mobility allow it to be deployed in large numbers like Apocalypse, but it can still find occasions where it can fight.
And some other weapons and equipment also came from Red Alert 3, which made Qi Yiming spontaneously feel an overwhelming feeling of seeing all the small things in the mountains. Among the weapons unlocked in the third-level base, naval weapons have been improved with the times. The Allies' assault destroyers and drone aircraft carriers, the Empire of the Rising Sun's Sea Wings, Naginata cruisers, and Shogun battleships all received construction approval.
For example, the Allied assault destroyer has a smaller tonnage than the 052d destroyer, with a full load displacement of only 5,800 tons. Although it is also equipped with the Aegis system, it only has 40 universal vertical launch units, and its firepower is not even as good as 054b frigate. Moreover, at least eight of these forty vertical launchers are used to launch anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles, and even fewer are actually used for air defense and anti-submarine warfare. But even so, the Aegis system of the raid destroyer has stronger response speed and accuracy, and stronger anti-interference ability. At the same time, this system is also capable of guiding anti-submarine missiles to directly attack underwater targets.
Of course, the most abnormal role of the assault destroyer is as a large platform for coastal artillery support or even amphibious artillery support. Qi Yiming didn't understand the idea behind the creation of such a thing as the assault destroyer. The DDG-1000 Zumwalt class destroyer, which has not yet appeared in the US military, can be regarded as a counter-era high-tech product produced by Americans in memory of giant ships and cannons. The purpose is for the Navy to build such a warship in order to provide itself with cheap near-shore fire support for ground forces.
But in fact, at that time, the powerful integrated sea and air combat capabilities, especially the use of joint guidance weapons of fighter aircraft, were not much more expensive than those artillery shells, and the strike effect was also better. In addition, in another dimension, the United States faces the challenge of China's ocean fleet, and the role of a DDG-1000 in the aircraft carrier fleet is far less than that of the previous Alexander Burke-class destroyer. Therefore, the Zumwalt class is only budgeted for three ships, and is actually considered an abandoned ship type.
Actually speaking, the positioning of the assault destroyer is similar to that of the Zumwalt class. They all adopt a very complete stealth design and appear no larger than a fishing boat on radar. It is also equipped with artillery mainly used for land attack. However, the artillery used by the assault destroyer is more powerful than the US military's AGS advanced artillery. The assault destroyer has only one main gun, but this main gun is a rather strange Gatling-type rotating medium-caliber gun. Originally it was a 120mm gun in the game, but in order to adapt to reality, the gun has been changed to a 100mm six-barreled Gatling gun, which can be said to be the largest Gatling gun in the world.
This artillery naturally cannot reach the rate of fire of Gatling weapons below 30mm, but with its large caliber and accurate ballistic trajectory, it is still a quite terrifying weapon. Moreover, the assault destroyer also has the incredible amphibious landing capability, and can transform from a ship into a huge vehicle. Coupled with its thick armor, it can attract enemy firepower for landing troops, and its powerful artillery can also deliver a baptism of terror to the enemy.
Qi Yiming still cannot predict how such a weird weapon will perform in actual combat, but he plans to build a few ships first to explore the tactics.
The Naginata cruiser from the Empire of the Rising Sun is slightly smaller than the Dreadnought battleship, with a full load displacement of 14,100 tons, slightly larger than the Type 055 Aegis cruiser of the Pla Navy. Its appearance looks more sci-fi, but it looks a bit like an enlarged version of the independent class in LCS, which is a three-body battleship. It has very amazing information. In addition, it is equipped with its most powerful weapon on both sides of the central hull - ultra-long-range supercavitation torpedoes. What is more confusing is that the Naginata cruiser is positioned as a large surface ship that mainly uses fish to attack. It also has relatively strong anti-submarine capabilities, but its air defense capabilities are relatively limited. The ship has a total of 90 vertical launch systems, between 052d and 055. However, the ship does not design four large plate array antennas. Instead, it uses a rotating phased array radar similar to the 054b. The overall air defense capability is much weaker than that of the Type 055 cruiser.
However, the Naginata cruiser also has its own very powerful features, which is its amazing anti-ship and anti-submarine capabilities. Pheasant cruiser outfitIt has an ultra-long-range supercavitating heavy-duty torpedo with a range of more than 160 kilometers. This torpedo uses many cutting-edge technologies and is far superior to its peers in terms of power, anti-interference, and intelligence.
In addition, the fan attack torpedo array equipped by the Naginata cruiser is also quite powerful in close-range ship melees. However, Qi Yiming feels that it is increasingly uncommon for naval ships to engage in close-range battles. Even the Naginata cruiser has This ability may not be useful.
And the Shogun battleship, the ultimate unit of the Sun Empire Navy, seems even more confusing. The full load displacement of this thing is close to the Yamato-class battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II, reaching 70,000 tons, and it is as big as two Type 011 arsenal ships. To pull her, a very advanced nuclear reactor would have to be used. But like the assault destroyer and the naginata cruiser, her positioning is quite vague and quite anti-era.
Two triple-mounted 400mm main gun turrets constitute the main combat power of this type of battleship. Of course, she also has some characteristics of a modern warship, such as a certain stealth design, a complete shipboard avionics system, and a 200-unit edge-type universal vertical launch unit, similar to the Zumwalt-class destroyer. This battleship is also a super-fast battleship. Because of its twin-hulled wave-piercing hull design, its top speed is close to 40 knots. For a big ship with a displacement of 70,000 tons, it is unimaginable and jaw-dropping.
Like all other medium and large ships produced by Red Alert, the 70,000-ton General battleship also has an Aegis defense system and is equipped with a powerful phased array radar. Although its number of vertical beams is not as high as that of the Dreadnought battleship, considering that this ship The true power of the ship is reflected in the six 400mm main guns, and its combat power is still slightly better than that of the dreadnought battleship.
These six super-heavy guns can not only fire ordinary high-explosive bombs, armor-piercing bombs, etc., but also integrate a variety of modern weapons, including tactical nuclear weapons. The gun can launch tailored tactical nuclear weapons such as neutron bombs and electronic pulse bombs, and can launch artillery-launched missiles similar to cruise missiles. It is very powerful, especially when used in land attack operations. It is conservatively estimated that three Shogun-class battleships can be worth the weight of two The strike capability of a 100,000-ton super aircraft carrier. What's more, the defensive capabilities of the Shogun-class battleships are much stronger than the aircraft carrier itself.
By the lv3 Red Alert Base, the previous base¡¯s quantitative restrictions on some important weapons and equipment have finally been lifted. As for the Navy, the Dreadnought Warships, which were originally only able to build four, were granted unlimited construction rights. And with the upgrade, the level of the dreadnought battleship has also been improved. The full-load displacement of the newly improved dreadnought battleship has increased to 50,000 tons, and the number of its vertical missiles has also increased to 768. The limitation of this kind of ship is no longer its huge hull and complex manufacturing technology, but the need to equip it with thousands of missiles. Missiles are quite a headache.
It can be said that the original 512 Dreadnought Battle Patrols with hanging hair already exceeded the standard of firepower in this era, but the 768 second-generation Dreadnought Battle Patrols with hanging hair have begun to make people confused. Qi Yiming felt that protecting such a large ship and sailing safely on the sea with thousands of missiles might be more dangerous than being attacked by the enemy.
By now Qi Yiming can also see that the arsenal ship route is probably unlikely to be feasible in any plane without a base. Even if the super multi-target tracking and control ability can be mastered, it has extremely strong With the automation, you will find that such a ship is like a solitary ship seeking defeat, and it is difficult to find an opponent on the battlefield. Frankly speaking, the Chinese Navy has not exposed its arsenal ships so far, and the ones rushing in the frontline waters are naval ships such as 052d and 055. The navy is quite satisfied with these two types of ships, and even based on actual combat conditions, 64 When the two types of ships, the Vertical Hair and the 128 Vertical Hair, are used together, there is no shortage of firepower at all. Of course, this may also be the reason why China's main opponents are not particularly strong. If there is a conflict between China and the United States, although this kind of firepower will not be stretched thin, it will not appear to be so abundant.
Even if Qi Yiming has the super production capacity of the base, he may not be able to produce large-scale arsenal ships or even shogun battleships. Qi Yiming feels that showing off will be more useful than actual combat. If the situation of the new battleships is sent to the Navy Headquarters, the Navy Headquarters will probably be interested in naginata, assault destroyers, etc., but it will only be limited to Qi Yiming supplying some for them to play with, such as Shogun battleships and second-generation dreadnought battleships. Probably they will be interested in visiting. But when it comes to major orders and equipment changes, I am afraid that even if the navy's internal thinking is very avant-garde, it will not be willing to give up the practical and efficient existing ship configurations and pursue this new thing.
Moreover, the Navy is now able to produce its own Type 052d and Type 055 warships, and continues to place orders for additional installations. The top brass of the Navy are now more inclined to put forward parameters and requirements themselves, and then let shipyards and research institutions cooperate to develop ship models, instead of being like those who lacked financial resources back then. At that time, Qi Yiming took everything as if it were a treasure.
Considering this, Qi Yiming felt that his Red Alert Fleet might be better than??Equip some of this stuff on a large scale. By then, I am afraid that the Pla Navy and Qi Yiming's Red Alert Fleet will have completely different combat modes.
In addition to these, there are also several pieces of naval equipment. Qi Yiming feels that the navy's interest will be very great. The first is the Sea Wing of the Rising Sun Empire Navy. This kind of equipment breaks through the definition of naval ships and sea aviation aircraft. It can not only swim underwater at high speed like a submarine, but also jump out of the water to conduct flight operations like an ordinary aircraft when necessary.
It is shaped like a stingray that is slightly larger than a heavy-duty fighter jet. After it rises to the sea surface, it uses the principle of a ground-effect aircraft to escape from the sea surface, and then uses a powerful jet engine to fly autonomously. The flight speed is not particularly fast, but It also has a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to an attack aircraft. The aircraft can carry about 6 tons of ammunition, including medium torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, and even air-to-air missiles, all carried in built-in magazines.
Qi Yiming believes that the existence of Haiyi is the most valuable one among the three-level base navy unlocks. In particular, the Sea Wing, as an air-sea amphibious vehicle, is also organically integrated with the Allied UAV aircraft carrier. This turns the drone aircraft carrier into a more terrifying ship.
The UAV aircraft carrier has broken away from the large direct-to-deck design of traditional aircraft carriers. Its carrier-based aircraft "Knight UAV" is ejected from the hangar and automatically recovered through a preset program. Therefore, the runway of the UAV aircraft carrier is disconnected and angled. In the middle of the ship is a huge island, which serves as the command and control center. The bow and stern are cannon shells, as well as the armored doors of the hangar.
The Knight UAV is a fifth-generation intelligent unmanned combat aircraft. In terms of real combat power, it is definitely not as good as ordinary manned carrier-based aircraft. However, it has a large range and bomb load that manned aircraft cannot have, and it is also capable of more extreme operations. maneuvers, ignoring the overload limit of the human body.
The UAV aircraft carrier not only has a super carrier-based aircraft such as the Knight UAV, but also has an underwater retractable cabin for retracting and retracting the sea-wing carrier-based aircraft. The sea wing can be released directly from the underwater by the drone aircraft carrier, and then wait for opportunities under the water like a submarine. It can easily attack enemy warships in places where they least expect it. It can even jump out of the water and carry out aerial strikes against enemy fleets.
Because it has to operate two carrier-based aircraft, the Sea Wing and the Knight, the displacement of the UAV aircraft carrier is quite huge, reaching 156,000 tons, which is much larger than the Type 003 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier designed by the Navy. Even an extra nuclear reactor was added to make it smooth and reach a speed of more than 35 knots.
The Navy is very interested in this kind of super ship and believes that it may be an important weapon that will change the form of naval warfare in the future. Together with other new ships unlocked at level three, they have all received their official design. The assault destroyer is designated as the Type 057 destroyer, the Naginata cruiser is designated as the Type 055b cruiser, the second-generation dreadnought arsenal ship is designated as the Type 011b arsenal ship, the Shogun battleship is designated as the Type 012 battleship, and the drone aircraft carrier is designated as the Type 004 nuclear Powered aircraft carrier.
