“System, how many points are needed for a Midway-class aircraft carrier?”
Mainz has more than 20,000 points in his hand. So many points can be used to exchange for aircraft carrier production drawings to produce aircraft carriers by himself, or he can directly use the points to purchase them from the system.
These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you buy the production drawings and produce them yourself, Hans will cultivate a large number of professionals who are familiar with aircraft carrier design and manufacturing, which will be of great benefit to Hans’ future military development.
At the same time, if you produce them yourself in your own country, you can also create a large number of jobs. These jobs can effectively help Hans survive the upcoming worldwide economic crisis.
However, the disadvantages of this method are also obvious. The first disadvantage is that the manufacturing cycle of an aircraft carrier is relatively long, and it is easy to leak secrets during the construction process, so that other countries can detect the intelligence of their own aircraft carriers. This may stimulate other countries to increase their investment in aircraft carriers and change their naval development strategies.
If you buy a built aircraft carrier directly from the system mall, there will be no such problem. Before purchasing, no country can detect the development plan of Hans’ aircraft carrier!
However, in addition to weighing the above-mentioned pros and cons, the specific choice of which method should be determined according to the pricing in the system mall.
If the price of the aircraft carrier design drawings is much lower than the price of the finished aircraft carrier, then it is obviously more cost-effective to choose the design drawings, but if the price of the finished product is very low, then of course the finished product is chosen!
However, the value of aircraft carriers has been fully demonstrated in World War II, so Mainz thinks that this thing is probably not that cheap!
The price of the Scharnhorst-class battlecruiser in the system is set at 1,000 points per ship, and the price of the Bismarck-class battleship is as high as 1,500 points. The price of the Bismarck-class battleship after Mainz’s transformation directly soared to 2,000 points per ship, and the price of the Scharnhorst after the transformation also rose to 120 points per ship. The expensive price of surface ships can be seen from this!
【The price of a complete set of design drawings for the Midway-class aircraft carrier is 2,000 points, and the selling price of a single aircraft carrier is 2,000 points. If it is to be modified, the price will depend on the modification situation! 】
The price given by the system is still within Mainz’s acceptable range. The price of the finished product and the design drawings of the Midway aircraft carrier are the same. Of course, from a practical point of view, the design drawings are definitely more valuable, but from a combat point of view, that’s different!
After purchasing the design drawings, it takes at least several years of absorption, digestion and construction to form combat effectiveness. The other one can form combat effectiveness immediately after purchase. Therefore, in an emergency, the latter method is obviously more cost-effective.
So this kind of pricing of the system is probably a balance made for different situations!
After Mainz weighed it in his mind, he began to become interested in what the system said about the modification of the Midway aircraft carrier.
“What kind of modifications have been made to this aircraft carrier specifically?”
Mainz knew that this aircraft carrier had undergone a series of modifications in the later period, including tilted decks, hangar modifications, and installation of catapults, laying the foundation for the later Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
However, for Hans’s navy, before the advent of jet carrier-based aircraft, their carrier-based aircraft were mainly propeller aircraft, which had relatively low requirements for take-off speed and were relatively light in weight, so there was no need for catapults for the time being.
However, if there really was a catapult, he would not refuse, because with a catapult, it would be possible for large fighters to take off and land on aircraft carriers.
In World War II, Doolittle once took off from the B-25 Hornet aircraft carrier and headed to the mainland of the Foot Basin to bomb the capital of the Foot Basin, because there was no With the help of catapults, Dutt’s B-25 took off very dangerously. They almost removed everything that could be removed from the plane to reduce the weight of the plane and take off smoothly.
If they had equipped the Hornet with catapults at that time, the B-25’s takeoff would not be so difficult. With the help of catapults, this aircraft would have a large initial acceleration when taking off, and could take off from the deck of the aircraft carrier more safely and quickly!
Although Mainz has plans to develop large bombers like the B-52 strategic bomber, if they can take off other bombers with slightly smaller tonnage from the aircraft carrier, then even without long-range strategic bombers, they can complete the bombing of North America!
【The optional modifications include deck modification, extending the length of the deck, adding a tilted deck, thickening the deck armor, and installing a fireproof layer to resist the tail flame of the jet fighter! 】
What the system said is probably suitable for the combat needs of jet fighters, but extending the deck and adding a tilted deck are also useful for propeller fighters.
“anything else?”
【The hangar was renovated and revitalized. A part of the anti-aircraft guns were removed, two Sea Sparrow air defense missile systems were installed, and two sets of Phalanx air defense systems were added, so that it can have a strong air interception and destruction capability, greatly improving the self-protection capability of the aircraft carrier! 】
Mainz’s eyes lit up!
Sea Sparrow and Phalanx!
This thing was the standard of the Eagle Sauce Navy in the 1980s!
The Sea Sparrow is a ship-to-air air defense missile transformed from the Sparrow air-to-air missile. This missile belongs to the first generation of air defense missiles. The technology itself is not advanced, but after years of transformation, the technology of this missile is very mature and the cost is low. Before the advent of the RAM air defense missile, this missile has always been the standard of the Eagle Sauce Navy.
As for the Phalanx system, this thing is an enlarged version of the Gatling machine gun, but compared to the Gatling, the Phalanx has added independent illumination radar and fire control radar, so it has intelligent functions such as autonomous search, automatic tracking and automatic aiming.
The range of the Phalanx is not far, the maximum range is only 3,000 meters, and the firing height is about 500 meters. This height is the most deadly nemesis for torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers of this era!
However, Mainz remembered that the Phalanx seemed to have been introduced in the 1980s. This thing was originally designed to cooperate with the Aegis system of the Eagle Sauce to counter the saturation attack of the bear’s anti-ship missiles.
If you buy a product from the 1980s at this time, the price of this thing will probably be very outrageous, right?
But then again, since the system has actively recommended this transformation plan, it means that the price of these things should be within the acceptable range, at least within the range that the system thinks it can accept.
So, hoping for the best, Mainz asked tentatively:”System, how much is the price of a Midway-class aircraft carrier after the modification according to your plan?”
In Mainz’s mind, the Midway equipped with Sea Sparrows and Phalanx can basically deal with most of the air attacks of this era. Unless the enemy dispatches hundreds of fighters to besiege it, it is difficult to destroy a Midway with one or two fighters or even a dozen fighters.���The Midway-class aircraft carrier was built after World War II.
During World War II, the biggest threat to aircraft carriers was enemy aircraft, so just based on the combination of Phalanx and Sea Sparrow, the modified Midway-class aircraft carrier is worth at least 3,500 points, or even 4,000 points!
If the price is within this range, Mainz can still accept it. If the price exceeds this range, Mainz will have to weigh his wallet and buy it according to the points!
【If you only renovate the catapult, hangar, and deck, the price will increase from 200 points to 3,000 points!
Hearing this number, Mainz couldn’t help but frown! It
‘s already 3,000 points now, so wouldn’t it be more expensive if the Sea Sparrow and Phalanx were installed?
【If you simply add Sea Sparrow and Phalanx, the price will also be 3,000 points!】
【If all the above modifications are carried out together, the price will be 4000 points! 】
Sure enough!
The price after the comprehensive transformation is staggeringly high, and this point is close to the limit that Mainz can accept!
However, just when he thought it was a bit expensive, the system’s other words made him swallow his dissatisfaction back into his stomach!
【After the transformation, the system will give away catapults and corresponding technologies, as well as sea sparrows and dense arrays and other related technologies! 】
This sentence made Mainz’s eyes almost pop out of stars!
Give away sea sparrows and dense arrays, and also give away catapults and related technologies?
