飞龙

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 \# n* n, ^- b: h5 o, M
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。1 u& b- x4 `/ p0 S
PzB也是经过痛苦的抉择和反复的选择后，
2 ~2 P+ W  M: o8 _3 b3 W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。3 M; v/ l1 r$ w' H% ]7 ^4 U
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。6 L4 o, ~( M$ d: R& S; v9 {. v" }
PzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。" p6 ^* m0 Y' C$ M' O
一点效果也没有，每次都是全部零战52都被火鸡。
" ?) P; {+ H9 W! u* S0 x, k' s" P可能要等到震风出来，KB才能有所作为。

南达科他怎么回事，居然会被PC一炮打起火？

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

这点我挺佩服PzB的，
' v0 ?8 ~/ q- u+ t& c* s6 T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。。。。
