PzB很喜欢用神风攻击啊，不知道他那些送死的飞行员都是多少经验的

reninhat

都是80+飞行员,* o5 D$ {# W/ Q
后期的日本俯冲和雷击就算突防了，也没法在美军强大防空下有所作为。) d5 A6 [! O7 E' t3 {/ K

可能只有战斗轰炸型的零战52才能有足够的机动性命中美舰，另外流星之类的鱼雷机难道就没有机会命中吗？

日军44年到45年中的主要问题是，大量的零战52性能完全落伍。! Y" H# J$ R* m  z# n

为什么不转紫电呢.....产量不够是吗.....

他们的房规是自动升级。

自动升级太不公平了，这游戏的空战模式就是一看速度二看火力，隼的一些优点完全显示不出来。
