When Li Yi discovered that the three opponents were actually at the Insurgency level, he immediately understood the point of the battle.

"Then the important thing is distance and speed!"

Li Yi quickly understood that the key points of this battle were distance and speed.

All missiles have one characteristic, that is, they are sure to hit. As long as they are within the range, the missiles are basically sure to hit.

The missile's range is determined by the missile's flight speed and flight time. This is easy to understand. Most spaceships basically do not exceed the flight speed of the missile. Therefore, as long as it is within the missile's range, the missile is bound to hit.

Although the missile has a 100% hit attribute, it does not mean that the missile can deal 100% damage. There are two important attributes that affect missile damage: explosion radius and explosion speed.

The explosion radius can be understood as the range of the shock wave itself generated when the missile explodes. The half price of the explosion is the radius of the explosion. When the missile explosion radius is smaller than the signal radius of the spacecraft, the explosion wave is equivalent to spreading in the "body" of the spacecraft. , and will not spread outward, but when the explosion radius is greater than the signal radius of the ship, the explosion wave will wrap the ship. Although it seems to have carried out an all-round attack on the enemy, in fact part of the energy will be lost as the explosion Produces radiation into space outside the ship.

When the explosion radius is smaller than the signal radius, the missile can deal relatively complete damage. When the explosion radius is larger than the signal radius, the missile damage will be lower than expected due to the loss caused by the explosion energy overflow.

The explosion radius can only determine the damage value of the missile to a certain extent, because to calculate the complete missile damage, another indicator must be referenced: explosion speed.

Continue to regard the explosion process of the missile as a process of energy wave diffusion, and the explosion energy diffusion itself also has speed. When the explosion speed is greater than the moving speed of the ship, it means that the target cannot escape from the explosion. Receive relatively complete missile damage; but when the ship speed is greater than the explosion speed, it means that the target will not be completely covered by the explosion, so the damage received will also be reduced.

Both sides are of the same Insurgency class and have the same configuration. Therefore, all attributes are basically the same.

However, Li Yi and the other three received an additional 3% speed bonus because they drank Cool Non-Zero, a limited edition functional drink.

This 5% bonus had no effect in previous battles, but now, when the two sides battled with the same configuration, the combat advantage was immediately shown.

First, Li Yifang is faster. He chases and escapes, widening the combat distance. The flight time of light missiles is 5 seconds. When Li Yifang extends the combat distance to more than 40km, the opponent's light missiles cannot hit his own side. , but the light missiles on our side are still hitting the opponent.

Although the opponent quickly discovered this, he immediately turned around and fled backwards when the shield battery was low. Li Yi also turned around and chased after him.

The original plan of the opponent was that although they were chasing and they were at a disadvantage, they could break away from the battle first and let the Insurgency class that was hit first break away from the battle. After replenishing the shield battery, they could then enter the battle.

The other two continued their output, preventing the battered Li Yi from leaving the battle and replenishing their batteries. In this way, as long as they were the first to destroy Li Yi's Splinter class, victory would belong to them.

But they didn't expect that both sides had the same configuration, but there was a gap in speed. Not only did Li Yifang escape from their maximum range, but it also made it impossible for the Splinter class that wanted to escape to leave the battle and get repaired. Opportunity.

The spacecraft of both sides quickly approached, and the battle entered a fierce stage.

When the power of the Insurgency class on both sides could no longer be maintained and the faders could not be used again, both sides turned off the faders almost at the same time because the faders consume a lot of power. Once they are continued to be used, the spacecraft will lack basic power and cannot use the protector. Shield resistance.

But after the speed of both sides decreased at the same time, Li Yifang's speed advantage showed again. Although he could no longer escape the opponent's attack range this time, Li Yifang's speed was higher, with a slight speed of 5%, and he could avoid more damage from light missiles.

This is the effect of explosion speed and ship speed on missile damage.

"It's over!"

The three members of Longteng fell into despair in the cockpit because they had long felt the breath of failure.

Because they ignored the speed detection of both sides at the beginning, their initial battle strategy failed. Not only did the teammate who was the first to bear the blow not get the chance to repair, they originally had the opportunity to close the previous gap through one round of repair. Make up for it all and still gain an advantage.

At this time, the first damaged teammate's shield battery had been used up, and after calculation, there was still one battery left on the opposite side. The difference of one battery means that Li Yi's Insurgent class can withstand three more rounds of light missile strikes and can last for 3 seconds longer.

Soon, the first Dragon's Insurgent-class shield was destroyed before the battery could be recharged.

In this 3v2, Li Yifang was able to output a lot more. Moreover, during the fight between the two sides, Long Teng also discovered that the opponent was faster. When the same light missile attacked, the damage suffered by both sides was different. The damage suffered by the other party was much higher. A little lower.

After the opponent destroyed Li Yi, Long Teng's second Splitter-class ship also consumed two shield batteries.

In this way, Long Teng's second Insurgent-class ship was still the first to finish. The last Insurgent-class ship killed Wang Teng's Insurgent-class before its own battery ran out. In the end, he only had 4 shield batteries left. What he faced was Su Xiaotu who was in perfect condition.

In the same spacecraft, one battery is more than half worn out, but the other one is in good condition. How can we fight this?

"Yeah, win!"

In the end, Su Xiaotu easily defeated the opponent's Splinter class and won the final victory.

"By the way, miner, how could you see so early that we can win?"

As soon as the battle was over, she couldn't wait to ask.

This was her first time using a missile in combat, and she was not clear about the missile's various properties.

"This starts with the properties of the missile."

Li Yi then explained.

"So it is!"

Under Li Yi's explanation, both of them quickly understood the properties of missiles.

"So, the effectiveness of missiles against small boats is extremely poor?"

Wang Teng quickly grasped the key point.

"Yes."

Li Yi nodded, general missiles can only be used against ships of the same size, such as light missiles and rockets against frigates and destroyers, heavy missiles and heavy attack missiles against cruisers and battlecruisers, and cruise missiles and torpedoes against battleships.

In particular, the fearless fortress-class torpedoes can basically only be used against dreadnoughts and other flagship ships. They seem to output explosions, but are extremely ineffective against small boats.

There is a joke.

"My grandma rides a bicycle and the fortress torpedoes can't hit it."

This is because the explosion radius of the Fortress torpedo is too large and the explosion speed is too slow, while the Old Lady's signal radius is too small. As long as it has a little speed, it can basically avoid a lot of damage.

"Okay, now we're in the top 100, get ready for the next battle."
