貌似中文版应该是水面舰队跟随运输舰队；1108r9英文版应该是运输舰队跟随水面舰队。我的理解对吗？

kevin_hx

中文版我没测试过，也不太清楚AE的水面战模型在升级的过程中有没有微调过，但是1108r9英文版肯定要运输船队跟随水面舰队才靠谱。不但如此，反潜编队也要打头阵，才能起到作用，就是运输船队要跟随反潜编队。

1942年2月底，由于菜花大将转变策略，派遣军四处迂回，国军主动放弃西安，退守秦岭一线，务必扼守入川的门户安康和剑阁一线
2 ^7 n$ f9 Y: |# f: ^7 P同时菜花大将在华南动作频繁，避开长衡一线，开始绕行桂林南宁一线，国军正在利用铁路机动优势，完善大西南防线

菜花大将现在都无力回帖了。。。

wangqifeng

爪哇可登陆地点太多，抗登陆不太现实，不过，迫使日军在小港登陆，也有利于争取时间调动军队

3 m5 U: ]$ D) P$ f' Y1 q0 Y这次主要是我估错了菜花的登陆时间，本来以为要迟一个回合登陆，谁知居然当回合就登陆了，歹命啊，还是对AE的运输船速度了解不够，受到WITP的影响还是太深。。。

红叶

说不定苦菜花只是又操作失误路过某个小基地直接自动登陆卸载上去了

马圭海战吃了亏。。。本来期望PB水警编队冲过去先战第一轮。结果，水警编队由于航速太慢没有实现预期战术目标。。。导致正规编队第一轮接战便措手不及。虽然损失DD可以承受。但是大日本海军日前海战连连吃亏完全没有炮术第一的样子！！非常愤怒！
