Us military tactical jokes

The dive attack tactic is a very effective suicide tactic. It is efficient because the precision of dive bombing is very high. It is said to be a suicide tactic on the grounds that dive attack tactics make the casualty rate of pilots very high. Basically, there is no return. Therefore, the US military at that time also promoted this dive tactic, but it was finally cancelled. The reason is actually very simple. The first is that the casualty rate is too high, especially when the US Navy uses dive tactics. Secondly, this tactic is very good for the immobile firepower points on land, but not good for combat vessels at sea. Finally, the US Navy finally decided that it was more reliable in torpedo attack.

The first is that the casualty rate is too high, especially when the US Navy uses dive tactics. It is not easy to train pilots. To train a qualified pilot is basically to train a qualified pilot with gold equal to the height of the pilot. Naturally, we can't afford to lose, and in the impression of the US military, it doesn't matter if things like airplanes are lost, but the biggest victory is that pilots don't lose them.

Secondly, this tactic is very good for the immobile firepower points on land, but not good for combat vessels at sea. The target on land is fixed, and you can drop the bomb calmly after diving. At sea, ships are basically traveling at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, so it is not so easy to hit the target.

Finally, the US Navy finally decided that it was more reliable in torpedo attack. After all, the launch of the torpedo is a horizontal flight, and it is only necessary to grasp the launch opportunity and effectively predict the course of the ship. So in the end, the US military abandoned this bombing mode, but the so-called abandonment just didn't spread, and many pilots still used this highly accurate bombing mode.
