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。; Y- T" p; ~) i: K/ I( _- 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。/ u5 P: V/ E+ G) 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。

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。
