42%的月光使得盟军雷达的技术优势得以发挥，两场夜战都是盟军发现并突袭日军，不过很遗憾由于双方战力差距过大，突袭并没有给盟军带来多大战果，第一战中美军名舰博伊西号没有沉在南洋但还是没有躲过这一劫，被大和，长门等舰的420，460巨炮连续爆菊当场沉没，另有休伯特号重伤进港排水

月光太差了双方完全看不到对方就在瞎轰，大和号被集火是因为一开始就被亲王打起火了，不过CA的8寸炮中了20几炮一点事都没有，毫无压力

鬼子水面舰队损失不大，CV损失比较大，还好意志坚强，我是不会告诉鬼子其实盟军的CV也败光了，43年7月前甭想大规模反击

hades1001

另外新西兰是打不下的，我充分吸取了打老赵的教训在惠灵顿堆了50w补给2个美军师一个澳洲师和所有的新西兰部队，总计战斗力超过2500，水面舰队和战斗机牢牢把守该地，鬼子来了估计要享受夜夜炮击的特别招待
