据菜花大将交代，水面护航编队差了一天航程，抱着侥幸心理，认为盟军在KB和水面舰队的巡逻下，盟军不敢出动水面舰队，但是大统领曾经用珊瑚海剧本反复演练过在敌海空优势的情况下用水面舰队反突击登陆滩头的各种战术，已经精纯无比，日军一旦有漏洞就会被偷

经过和菜花天蝗的探讨，初步估计可能是由于版本的原因，导致战术有区别，在1102版本中，菜花采用的护航战术没有出现失误，但是在现在的英文版里，貌似战术发生变化，菜花仍然沿用老战术看起来就不适用了，结果导致运输船次次被抓，而水面舰队就在旁边围观不出力。

一般是一个扫场的舰队，另外弄有一个护航舰队跟随运输船，如果运输船跟随水面舰队容易出事
# K. p- [, w( S6 n) awangqifeng 发表于 2012-10-15 15:34

1 L; m$ j8 {" a" t$ a你这个是1102中文版的战术吧？菜花也应该用的类似战术
9 C. ?: S0 n  ]  A; u7 m我用1108r9英文版测试过了，你这种战术，运输船铁定出事

kevin_hx

那就是你的语文水平问题了4 |2 u5 K6 {& T! |8 L6 ^
你这句话任谁看都是认为你编一队水面舰队跟随运输船队

kevin_hx

中文版我没测试过，也不太清楚AE的水面战模型在升级的过程中有没有微调过，但是1108r9英文版肯定要运输船队跟随水面舰队才靠谱。不但如此，反潜编队也要打头阵，才能起到作用，就是运输船队要跟随反潜编队。

1942年2月底，由于菜花大将转变策略，派遣军四处迂回，国军主动放弃西安，退守秦岭一线，务必扼守入川的门户安康和剑阁一线
  S. V' A1 ^- y2 R) m/ m3 X同时菜花大将在华南动作频繁，避开长衡一线，开始绕行桂林南宁一线，国军正在利用铁路机动优势，完善大西南防线
