[AE] 血火海空——激斗珊瑚海 牛牛J@大猫A——5月12日攻克莫港

虽然只是一个小剧本，一个最小最小的剧本，但是海面仍然充满了生死激斗，天空仍然充满了血腥厮杀，海底仍然暗藏了夺命杀机。. I% C+ B$ \. \" n7 }! F
日本的MO计划，犁过了猩红的海面，划过了森蓝的尘空，刺入了NG柔软的腹部——莫尔兹比港！0 o2 n9 d8 ^) n; n  F

当然，AE的舰队航线设置、飞机索敌的扇面设置、岸轰的距离设置、空袭的出发地阴影、指挥官对舰队的影响、全新的空战模型等等，都是相当不错的改进

AE珊瑚海剧本，日军仍然优势巨大，但是战术选择余地较少，只能寻歼盟军58和占领莫港，其余战术皆不可能获胜。
3 H8 Z5 _$ C! Q4 x- w9 k而且时间短暂，日军必须在有限的时间内，既完成打击58的对海任务，也必须直掩MO攻略部队的上陆任务，可谓对玩家的指挥协调微操能力要求较高
5 D$ s! S( \: k$ g/ \; v' g
/ r6 Z; `8 m" F% T# K因为用过了盟军，所以对盟军可能采取的战术心中有素，所以日军未雨绸缪，所采取的战术大致就是首先抢占米龙湾，获得一个大艇侦查基地；然后前出KB，寻歼58；腊包尔陆攻则负责压制莫港机场，兼顾海面；最后，登陆船队在水面舰队掩护下登陆莫港，完成攻略。
