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,4 ^+ c3 Q1 F# R: t+ e! ~# e
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。, J, ]% z9 J" r' Q4 l0 D1 Q
PzB也是经过痛苦的抉择和反复的选择后，0 T5 ^. W/ Y% D" m  d  E1 [8 c
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。0 d/ a& p( n6 p8 z/ Z# P
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。3 k( o4 M7 a- T
PzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。
- B6 C$ z2 G; I8 ^一点效果也没有，每次都是全部零战52都被火鸡。$ m( I  r$ {: N$ P2 o$ ~
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，
; @# ]$ O8 o; e不知道整个44年他是怎么撑下来的？

飞龙

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。。。。
