! D) y, M! T/ }+ M8 B( j" X) D: 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。

, ~7 H- b+ L1 b1 \7 E9 o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。' O3 O5 S+ ]3 A$ }- V. H
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。8 X5 g: s1 N5 x2 [
PzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。
3 l. A+ Q* `* d! ^5 {* ^7 Q一点效果也没有，每次都是全部零战52都被火鸡。5 s8 Y& |1 t3 J, t9 k

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。
