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,% f( T3 k4 `. B1 O4 J
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。8 a8 |- S$ E3 d( H
PzB也是经过痛苦的抉择和反复的选择后，! _. h, ?. L4 q+ s9 H# T( |( q
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。* I; f8 c1 A6 P' I5 v, b
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。  l8 f' t% o3 U' R' P$ |7 I
PzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。3 \1 u" x  _( f) _6 K" m! ~- k
一点效果也没有，每次都是全部零战52都被火鸡。

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。
