牛牛把两个TF放在两个格 有效地分散了KB的攻击 而我的失误是让97去攻击机场了 损失了6架 疲劳也上了10 所以表现不好 加上CA吸引火力 只命中CV1雷 下午那一波效果更差

大脸猫水面舰队没开全速？自动反应范围太小？不过算是保护了登陆船队，KB还有多少进攻力量？

kevin_hx

据大猫天蝗供认，水面舰队是准备去炮击莫港的，结果遭遇盟军水面舰队后，由于指挥官好战度不高，没将任务改为水面战模式，所以被盟军爆头

大统领预估天蝗必然会轰炸机场，并撤出水面舰队汇合登陆船队，然后再继续扑上，但不会立即行动，需要至少1-2回合的调整，于是大统领果断地将水面舰队解散在港口规避空袭，并出动莫港航空队和潜艇，沿途捡漏9 b, J$ `9 z/ V
