飞龙

PzB很喜欢用神风攻击啊，不知道他那些送死的飞行员都是多少经验的

reninhat

都是80+飞行员,2 N+ Q3 \2 g) N
后期的日本俯冲和雷击就算突防了，也没法在美军强大防空下有所作为。9 z5 i6 ~9 I4 f5 l0 i5 r
PzB也是经过痛苦的抉择和反复的选择后，. q6 Z& y$ k! b- b/ ?! J
现在基本上是用零战52来神风，其他机型就算神风也没有效果。

飞龙

可能只有战斗轰炸型的零战52才能有足够的机动性命中美舰，另外流星之类的鱼雷机难道就没有机会命中吗？

reninhat

B7A，PzB还舍不得做神风。. E2 ?! H2 T% n
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。% b' B4 j' c# S2 w0 G/ J0 y
PzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。
$ c7 M" X" i7 `5 Z* a2 g一点效果也没有，每次都是全部零战52都被火鸡。9 ?/ T2 h$ b. a! x' {
可能要等到震风出来，KB才能有所作为。

为什么不转紫电呢.....产量不够是吗.....

reninhat

他们的房规是自动升级。

bf109

自动升级太不公平了，这游戏的空战模式就是一看速度二看火力，隼的一些优点完全显示不出来。

reninhat
