仔细观看战斗动画可以发现，其实是后面几波扫场飞机进场时，直掩战斗机的油料和弹药已经用尽了，所以会出现一边倒的局面- m  e, b, ?+ i* r
归根到底还是直掩数量太稀少才会形成这样的问题。
+ D& @* M# Q8 B4 c/ B假如直掩有相当的数量，那么是可以对进攻的扫场机形成连续不断的打击的  K$ H/ q1 w( Q- a: J" x  m& o
而如果直掩机的数量远大于扫场进攻的飞机，那就是单方面屠杀了

红叶

这种扫场日军是付出代价的，精锐飞行员的损失是永久性的，所以日军除非认为目标值得，否则也不会轻易使用
. H& W0 U% K! r# ~% \8 j
0 i; w9 A2 O; J  q$ f我敢说这样的战斗盟军不会死几个飞行员。

红叶

由于加尔各答属于内河航道，本来预定也要参与战斗的战列舰分队由于无法驶入而被迫临时退出战斗，否则盟军将面对更大的损失吧.....

红叶

按照27大统领不服输，不饶人的强烈个性，相信近期一定会有大规模进攻作战，目前盟军在各条战线上都保持着死一般的沉寂，想必这是暴风雨来临前的平静，大本营只能加紧布置防御，严阵以待了。
