日军44年到45年中的主要问题是，大量的零战52性能完全落伍。

如果开了PDU，从43年中开始就把全部岸基零换成雷电，KB就躲到家里不要出来了。( r( U7 m6 C! K% k- y
一直等到烈风出来。零52除了留够出中队的数量，其他都转产成电系列。

PzB的不死鸟，从开战第一天一直坚持到现在了。

Andy，现在CV随队跟着AE，防空弹药随打随补。

reninhat

这个应该也是必然的，Andy的进攻重心转向了威克岛。  u: S# ?8 ?, W; q1 |$ o( L3 |- r
只有拿下威克岛机场，盟军那些短腿的飞机才能从中途岛转场过来。+ j% _/ e/ Y& U$ O5 I; j
