8月17日，瓜岛海域再次迎来大规模空战（相比AE动不动几架出动而言已经算比较大的规模了，当然跟WITP动不动几百架而言这只能算过家家）。日军莱城和拉宝尔几十架陆攻和99舰爆分别空袭了伦迦的运输船和莫港卸载的货船。当天，58的战斗机和莫港的飞蛇击落击伤日机40余架，再次证明了裸奔是靠不住的。+ i8 D+ p% L) e$ G" E: {/ W6 M3 V

阿姆罗

挂副油箱极限航程的0战遇到精锐的盟军海航只有被屠杀的命，所以还是标准航程内才能达到一定得战术效果，达成比较合理的交换比。

hongqi315

是不是意味着0战初期没优势了？

chen0529

初期南洋老爷机还是乱打撒~~~

阿成

感觉四发就像现在机器人，根本无法打败！

阿姆罗

4发现在也不像以前那样动不动几百架一波的耕地了，至少目前看来，4发限制还是蛮大的，即便机场够大，一次性出击4发数量也没能超过50架，总在40架左右，而且经常分几波出击。

hongqi315

集中200+ CAP 吃4发，，

阿姆罗

瓜岛日军就那么几十架0战，哪来的200架，天上掉下来的啊。。。。。。

hongqi315

没其他战斗了？

chen0529

要说火力4发貌似比好多战斗机都猛

阿姆罗

42年8月28日白天，驻扎在伦加的60架TBF和20架SBD发起了进攻，全天上下午一共出动6波，将靠近的柱岛炸成残废，前一个回合日酋还声称1000磅炸弹就跟挠痒痒似的，现在，美军海航理科给了天皇一个响亮的耳光。
