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,; p% l1 X, `- U5 q: \. f
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。

$ l& k( T9 U9 a( C) p9 u" r2 |现在基本上是用零战52来神风，其他机型就算神风也没有效果。

飞龙

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？

reninhat

B7A，PzB还舍不得做神风。0 Z3 M9 }& v. m+ a6 L
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。
9 L' o! F- P2 I( V0 P) `) SPzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。- x  V7 H& n9 {  r# g

冷情人

为什么不转紫电呢.....产量不够是吗.....

reninhat

他们的房规是自动升级。

bf109

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。

作为全世界witp玩家里最长的一个战报的动力，就足够支持他撑下来了，第二个人估计就没那么大动力。。。。
