Chapter 315 Problems with Heavy Cruisers
It is because the four historical warships have no obvious weakness in joint combat, and they do not need other warships to assist in combat. So if you want to do a mission with these four historical warships, there is only one requirement, that is, combat effectiveness must keep up with the four historical warships. This is the premise. There cannot be obvious shortcomings after combat effectiveness can keep up.
The combat effectiveness of warships that are specifically mainly transformed in one direction has obvious shortcomings. These warships must form a formation when fighting. Royal Oak said that the four historic warships will never fight side by side with such warships. The four of them can allow warships to be weaker but will never allow warships to have obvious shortcomings. In the case of few warships, warships with obvious shortcomings are embarrassing. The four historical warships are not the nanny of all warships. Except for the little Kotlin Loli and the brave little loli, other warships will not be protected by all-round nanny-style protection of the four historical warships.
After listening to the opinions of Royal Oak, Fatty Gao was silent for a long time before telling Gui Feifei about Royal Oak. Gui Feifei also knew which direction he should choose. However, although Royal Oak said one, Royal Oak did not express the direction of Gui Feifei's warship transformation. Although he chose the comprehensive development of the warship, even for comprehensive development, one aspect must be highlighted, just like the little Loli of Cotlin highlights anti-submarine and the brave Loli of prepared to highlight air defense.
What Gao Fatty didn't expect was that this time Royal Oak answered without thinking that such a thing needs Gui Feifei to think about. She and Miss Divine are just the girls of Fatty Gao's historical warships. They are just very familiar with Fatty Gao's situation and are unfamiliar with Gui Feifei's specific situation and cannot make accurate judgments. It is better for Gui Feifei to make a decision on this kind of thing. Royal Oak told Fatty Gao that she was afraid of making complaints in the future, so she and Miss Divine would not express their opinions on this kind of thing.
Fatty Gao did not tell Gui Feifei the opinions of Royal Oaks truthfully, but just deceived Gui Feifei that Royal Oaks were studying how to exercise with the two sisters of United Forces. Although Fatty Gao did not tell the truth to Gui Feifei, Gui Feifei knew in his heart what the Royal Oaks mean. Royal Oaks and Miss Dignity are thinking about how to quickly improve their level. Other things are secondary. So in the face of Gui Feifei's problem, Royal Oaks cannot waste that time to give Gui Feifei one. After all, if you want to give an accurate plan, you must understand Gui Feifei's specific situation in detail. Royal Oaks will definitely not do this at this stage.
Gui Feifei, who knew all this, sighed in her heart. Although she knew that Royal Oak might have made such a statement before, she still hoped that Royal Oak could give some advice. After all, Royal Oak has a special relationship with the Queen, so it is very good to have this relationship. Although Gao Fatty is the commander of Royal Oak, Gao Fatty cannot make decisions in most matters. It is reliable to directly establish a relationship with Royal Oak. Through Gao Fatty, it is not so reliable.
Although Royal Oak rejected Gui Feifei's request, Gui Feifei still asked Fatty Gao about his opinion on this matter. Gui Feifei could see that Fatty Gao was very concerned about this matter. In the face of Fatty Gao's concern, Gui Feifei was still very happy. Through this in-depth exchange, Gui Feifei found that Fatty Gao was probably the same as her and had little difference. Although after in-depth communication, he felt that Fatty Gao was not the first thing she expected was the real fair commander, but although she was not the real fair commander, she was not far from the real fair commander. Overall, she was still a person worth entrusting her for life.
After Gui Feifei asked, Fatty Gao carefully took the self-study exam and told Gui Feifei about his advice. In Fatty Gao's opinion, the status of the heavy cruiser in history is actually very embarrassing. It is a ship type introduced by the Washington Navy Treaty, and it is a ship type with extremely low cost performance.
Generally speaking, the name of a warship is often basically representative of its purpose. The battleship is named after the battleship. As the name suggests, the aircraft carrier is the mothership of an aircraft. The initial mission of the destroyer is to destroy enemy torpedo boats and protect the safety of its own fleet. As the name suggests, the frigate has a relatively heavy defense nature, and is a small and medium-sized ship that guards, patrol and protects its own merchant ships. It is precisely because of the nature of the frigate that a certain island country later called a helicopter carrier of more than 20,000 tons of frigate a frigate, which cannot be said to have no meaning at all.
The status of cruisers is also very clear. The purpose of the first appearance was to protect the safety of overseas colonies, merchant ships and routes. Because battleships are too expensive and not fast, cruisers came into being. This is a very offensive weapon. The mission of cruisers is to cruise, but if you go to patrol, then in later generations, they basically have no cruisers, and even if the tonnage is large, they are not called cruisers.
In this regard, heavy cruisers require high attack armor to defend against light cruisers and speed, which makes heavy cruisers very expensive. More importantly, the task of light cruisers as the main target of heavy cruisers is to deploy overseas and travel with the large fleet to suppress enemy destroyers to protect their own battleships or aircraft carriers. This makes heavy cruisers very embarrassed. Heavy cruisers can deal with light cruisers, but the problem is that behind the light cruisers is the opponent's battleship.
In history, heavy cruisers are notoriously low in cost performance. According to historical cost, the cost of the three Kent-class heavy cruisers is the same as that of Hood. However, in actual combat, one Hood killed three Kents and it was the same as that of World War II. The cost of the German Navy Hippel-class heavy cruisers was even similar to that of the British King George V-class battleship. It cost so much money but did not gain the corresponding combat power. Therefore, after the outbreak of World War II in history, there was no major development in heavy cruisers. Britain did not even build heavy cruisers in World War II.
