Chapter 513 How Do You Know If You Don't Try?
Most of the time the sea is quiet, and only a few seagulls can be heard occasionally.

But now this tranquility was broken, and a huge ship broke through the sea.

The ship's turbines were running at full speed, and a lot of black smoke was spewing out of the chimney, and the sound of the engine working could be heard from a long distance away.

This was the Cleveland-class light cruiser that Otowa was on. After leaving the port, they rushed to the practice field above the sea.

"Otowa, can you handle it?"

"of course can."

As if to prove this point, the four main turrets on the ship slowly turned, aiming their muzzles at the 3 o'clock direction one after another.

On the surface of the sea seven to eight thousand meters away, there is a 8000-meter-long ship floating.

Although this ship is a warship, its weapons have been removed, and the whole ship looks dilapidated, as if it has a history.

boom--

The 12 artillery pieces roared almost at the same time. Amidst the majestic muzzle flames, one after another 152mm caliber shells flew towards the target.

A few seconds later, all these shells fell into the sea, stirring up water jets one after another.

Such a result is not surprising for Otowa. First, the combat distance in naval battles is too far, and second, she doesn't know the trajectory of the 152mm MK16 artillery, so she can't make predictions.

After several rounds of test firing, Otowa managed to figure out the trajectory of this thing.

boom--

This round finally stopped flying. Although most of the shells fell into the sea, a few hit the deck of the target ship.

After the impact, none of these shells exploded, but drilled into the hull with huge energy.

Only then did the time-delay fuze on the shell work, and the 152mm armor-piercing shell detonated inside the ship.

If there was anyone on this ship, it must have been a heavy loss by now.

"Otoyu, you haven't been on a boat for a while... how do you feel that your skills are still improving?"

Not long after, Arisa's voice came from the radio.

"My strength has always been so strong, it's just that I was restricted by the ship some time ago and couldn't show it."

After Otowa finished speaking, the ship shook again—another round of 152mm shells was fired.

They were able to hit the target in the first round, so naturally they would not fly in the second round, and the number of shells hitting the enemy ship this time was even higher.

Although the lethality of the 6-inch (152mm) gun is not as good as that of the 8-inch (203mm) gun, it has more tubes and a faster rate of fire, and the number of shells that can be fired per minute is several times that of others.

Only half a minute passed, and the target ship floating on the sea was hit by more than a dozen shots. I have to say that Otowa's artillery skills are just as terrifying at sea.

"Next target, 4 o'clock direction, distance 8300."

"receive."

The ship's turret turned again, aiming the muzzle in the direction Arisa pointed.

Without making Otowa wait long, a boat that was smaller than the previous one floated up.

That's right, they floated up, and the target ships in war games are also really cool.

……

"The field of view is still too limited..."

The observation environment in the fire control room is not very good, basically only one side of the target can be seen, and it does not have omnidirectional vision.

Otowa already felt a little regretful, this place is not as good as the open-air artillery on the deck.

"Stop complaining, don't you still want to go to heaven?"

"God...it seems to make sense."

To Arisa's surprise, Otowa not only did not refute, but seemed to be lost in thought.

"What do you want to do?" Arisa said in a daze.

"This ship has a seaplane catapult?"

"Yes, yes... Hey, what do you want to do!"

"Help me prepare, I'll go there now."

Before Arisa could reply, Otoyu kicked open the door of the fire control room.

In fact, the fire control room only has various instruments for easy observation, and the real operation still depends on the tablet computer in Yin Yu's hand.

In other words, as long as the tablet is in hand, it is actually the same wherever Otowa goes.

As long as Yinyu feels that the sky is convenient to aim at, then it's okay to go to the sky.

The U.S. emperor seems to love seaplanes so much that even destroyers have been forced to install catapults, let alone a 1.2-ton cruiser like Cleveland.

Otowa is no stranger to the seaplane on the Cleveland stern catapult, and she used it to take Arisa across a wave before.

Although the poor performance of the OS2U Kingfisher did not leave a good impression on Otowa, the fault was not the aircraft itself, but the three floats below the aircraft.

It is precisely because of these floating floats that affect aerodynamics that they are all salted fish. Only the one-time hurricane performance of the British without floating floats can barely be justified.

In addition to the familiar plane, Otowa also met a familiar person here.

"Oto, Otowa?"

"Long time no see, Xiaoxue."

Looking at the bewildered green fur in front of him, Yin Yu couldn't help but smile.

Even though I haven't seen her for a while, Bei Dao Xiaoxue still looks quite energetic, and the two big bows on both sides of her head are shaking vigorously.

"Are you in charge of the waterplane, Xiaoxue?"

"Yeah." Xiaoxue nodded.

"Then please~"

After stroking Koyuki's head, Otowa walked towards the waterplane on the catapult.

After being suddenly attacked by Otowa, Xiaoxue's face turned red in an instant, and it seemed that a few strands of steam could still be seen rising from her head.

"Xiaoxue, don't be in a daze."

"Ah, sorry, I'll be fine soon."

She didn't return to work until she was reminded by Otowa.

The frame that fixed the seaplane started to rotate, aiming the fighter plane at the sea surface on the side of the ship.

"Come on, Otowa!"

"Oh!"

The catapult started to work, throwing out the two-ton seaplane.

Unlike the last ejection, Otowa was fully prepared this time, and pushed the joystick controlling the throttle valve to the bottom in advance, so the takeoff was relatively smooth.

buzzing buzzing-

Hearing the familiar noise of a piston engine, Otowa couldn't help feeling emotional.

Sure enough, the turbo sound of a jet fighter is nice, and the pistons are so low, okay?

"Otowa, do you know what you're doing!"

Arisa's voice came in through the radio on the plane.

"I just want to fight in my own way."

While adjusting the equipment on the fighter plane, Otowa spoke leisurely.

"For so long, no one has been able to aim directly on the plane, Otowa, you can't do it!"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

In the naval battles of war games, seaplanes are generally used for reconnaissance and ballistic correction. Otowa is the first gunner who wants to directly command the battle on the plane.

This kind of thing sounds not easy, but Otowa believes that he can do it.
