Chapter 114 Storm MK.V
The weekend that made Otowa extremely entangled finally passed, and it was time to go to school again.

Although it was said to be going to school, Otowa did not enter the school, but directly entered the area where the aviation department was located.

In a sense, the aviation department is no longer within the scope of the school, but a war game wing affiliated to the school.

"Good morning, Otowa-san~"

As soon as she entered the club room, Mika greeted Otowa.

Seeing Meixiang's innocent smile, Otowa's entanglement during this period was washed away a lot.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Otoyu scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.

"No, I just arrived."

Mei Xiang was as usual, still very humble.

"It's getting late, let's go get the fighter plane first."

"Uh-huh."

As early as last Friday, Otowa and Mika had already received the permits required to pick up the fighters, and now they only need to go to the workshop to pick up the fighters.yes
There were not many people around the workshop. One was that Otowa and Mika came too early, and the other was that everyone basically picked up the fighters on Saturday.

After all, the competition is coming up in a few days, and everyone is hurrying to practice. People like Otowa who go out to play on weekends are simply the oddities among the oddities.

In other schools, Otowa's behavior would probably be sprayed to death. Fortunately, the atmosphere in Oarai is relatively free, which prevents Otowa from being the target of public criticism.

After inserting the two cards into the machine in the workshop, the whole machine made a rumbling sound, which lasted for 5 minutes before stopping.

With the rotation of the conveyor belt, two brand new Storm MK.Vs were transported out of the machine.

"It's almost like magic."

No matter how many times I watched it, Otowa felt quite magical.

"Does Otowa-san think it's weird?" Meixiang tilted her head.

"A bit."

As a traveler from the 21st century, Otowa is of course curious about this black technology.However, Yin Yu is not interested in figuring out how it works. She is more concerned about the new fighter now.

The appearance of the Storm MK.V is not elegant, mainly because the huge liquid cooling system under the nose is too abrupt, destroying the beauty of the entire fighter.

While not as elegant as the Spitfire, the Tempest has a slightly more menacing feel to it, more like a destruction machine designed for war.

"This is really... amazing."

After entering the cockpit, Otowa was immediately shocked by its wide field of vision.

The storm uses a modern drop-style hatch that protrudes above the fuselage, providing a considerable viewing range.

The fighters that Otowa had flown before made her feel like she was embedded in the fighters.But the storm was different, making her feel like she just stuck her head out of the cabin.

"I earned it."

Regardless of the specific performance of the fighter plane, the omnidirectional field of view alone makes Otowa feel good.

Better vision means it's easier to spot enemies, which also means it's harder to sneak up on them.

Otowa didn't rush to start the engine, but first opened the tactical panel on the front right, and then turned on the flight assistance and teaching modes.

After all, this is also Otowa's first time flying a British fighter, and she doesn't know how to operate this thing. At this time, the tactical panel is needed for on-site teaching.

"Well... first this, then this, then this."

Under the guidance of the tactical panel, Otowa successfully completed the cold start of the fighter and ignited the 2000 horsepower Saber II engine.

Otowa's movements didn't stop. After starting the engine, she slowly pushed the throttle control lever.

The roar of the engine became louder and louder, and the four-bladed propeller rotated faster.Not long after, the fighter plane began to move slowly.

After walking out of the workshop gate, Otowa first stepped on the right pedal to the bottom.After the rudder was turned to the far right, the fighter plane also turned to the right.

Behind Otowa, Mika quickly followed.If Otowa guessed correctly, Meixiang should have memorized the instructions ahead of time.

The workshop is not too far from the runway, and after a few turns, Otowa drove the fighter onto the runway.

"This is Izumi Otowa, please take off."

Although the ethos of the Ministry of Aviation is relatively free, there are still rules that must be followed.

"The tower received it, and the takeoff is approved."

"learn."

After receiving the reply from the control tower, Otowa directly pushed the throttle valve to the bottom.

The originally gentle sound of the engine instantly became manic, and the fighter plane also began to accelerate.

Although the acceleration of piston fighter jets in World War II was not as fast as that of modern jets, it was still much faster than contemporary jets.

After feeling that the speed was about the same, Otowa slowly pulled up the joystick.The fighter plane she was driving also gradually left the ground and rose into the air.

After climbing to about 3000 meters, Otowa began the formal test run.

As a 4.4-ton heavy fighter, the Storm MK.V is naturally not as flexible as the light fighters such as La-11 and Yak-9, but it is already much better than the F4U Corsair, which is also a heavy fighter.

However, the Storm MK.V is not without advantages, that is, it can still guarantee excellent operability at high speeds, and there will be no embarrassing situation of light fighters locking the rudder.

Moreover, the speed storage performance of the Storm MK.V is also very good. After changing from a dive to a level flight, the speed drops very slowly, which is unmatched by light fighters.

Compared with the La-11 that Otowa used before, it can only be said that each has its own strengths, and it cannot be said that one is better.After all, the weight difference between the two machines is only 0.4, and there is no essential difference.

Of course, mobility is not the only criterion for measuring a fighter.

There is another thing Otowa likes about the Storm MK.V, that is, its ammunition capacity is very abundant, and each of the four Hispano cannons has a total of 800 rounds of ammunition.

What is the concept of 800 rounds? It is almost like 200 rounds per gun. You must know that the three La-11 guns used by Otoyu before add up to only 225 rounds of ammunition. They have three cannons.

What about the lack of accuracy of the wing cannon?Stormwind has a lot of ammunition, just pull the barrage to make a cross section.As long as you hit a few rounds, HEFI (high-explosive fragmentation incendiary bomb) and HEF-SAPI (semi-armor-piercing high-explosive incendiary fragmentation bomb) can directly teach the opponent how to behave.

Although Hispano MK.V is a truncated version of MK.II, its muzzle velocity is not slow, at least it is better than the NS-23 that Otowa used last time.

PS1: This is a supplementary update, and then there will be another update later, and there will be three updates during the day to celebrate the launch~
PS2: This book is actually on the shelves now, but these two chapters are supplementary, so they will be sent to the free chapters.

PS3: Well... do you have... a monthly pass?If not...recommendation tickets or something...that's fine too.
