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,3 A. p! |' z; Q1 G5 m6 |4 ~- ?2 ?
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。
  x! Y. D# I# LPzB也是经过痛苦的抉择和反复的选择后，/ l3 l+ c! M' y5 N, D
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。- J# g; s/ \8 @  P* c. s/ i: ~' T5 X
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。
- Z/ O1 Z* r4 y# Q- k4 IPzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。
2 G* r0 ^0 E- j5 s' [5 _' b$ l一点效果也没有，每次都是全部零战52都被火鸡。  W4 f1 Q& Y  {
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

这点我挺佩服PzB的，

作为全世界witp玩家里最长的一个战报的动力，就足够支持他撑下来了，第二个人估计就没那么大动力。。。。
