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,1 E7 M5 }! S9 _7 y4 I4 W" t
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。- M' w; h+ z4 ?9 @6 ~+ l1 f
PzB也是经过痛苦的抉择和反复的选择后，$ B; c! L5 T1 P; u/ r6 O  p
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。1 U( T1 a- K2 R* z5 R% _7 ~
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。5 R( S! K2 [. d! R/ j
PzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。
% [: e- y, W, O' r! M0 f' a: G2 @一点效果也没有，每次都是全部零战52都被火鸡。
2 j7 d1 W8 V4 a8 L7 ~$ u可能要等到震风出来，KB才能有所作为。

冷情人

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
