4 ~7 W7 g" ]8 l: h7 k1 i, y战斗中发现，盟军战斗机的护航机制与日军护航机不同，盟军护航战斗机基本上没有与日军直掩纠缠很久日军战斗机便突入了轰炸机群，对盟军轰炸机大开杀戒，在空中击落了大量轰炸机，不过由于飞机数量多，仍然有大量轰炸机突防，对日军大量军舰造成伤害，当天共有4艘航母3艘BB当场沉没，另有4~5艘CV被重创，失去起降能力，并有沉没危险。
) a& Q( |; c4 T& X4 a6 r" g盟军飞机在完成攻击返航时也护航不利，再损失了一部分飞机，不过对于盟军机队来说，仍然可以认为是完成了打击KB的任务，经此一战，KB损失相当数量的母舰，显然丧失了在大洋上的活动能力。$ Q% U/ e: T$ F" B
此战盟军共损失400多架飞机，其中俯冲轰炸机200多架，鱼雷机50架，战斗机90架，巡逻机和侦察机也损失了高达50架之多。% j! Y* ?. Z& H6 |: G
日军飞机损失微弱，仅为40多架战斗机。有大量飞行员晋升王牌。
# Z% e% W# q: d K% u3 j3 S) G
+ m( Q5 r9 ^ J" R- |: F6 C9 k总结起来，发觉盟军58和日军KB的护航机制似有不同，日军KB的护航机队会为攻击机队战斗至最后一架，这便是第二轮测试中KB300+攻击机无损突防的原因，而盟军护航战斗机似乎更喜欢自由猎杀的战术，经常丢下需要保护的攻击机队不管，令其在投入战斗之前就遭受重大打击，好在盟军飞机多，仍然给予了KB致命一击。* U/ R- b9 ?) w% _2 H
6 W$ D. l% b1 g6 g
而在直掩战斗中，盟军战斗机明显优于日军，每当日军机群冲击58时，总能发现58头上已经密密麻麻飞满战斗机盘旋着等待和日军机群大干，而日军直掩机则每次都是在58机群来临时才零零碎碎开始升空，未及全部升空到足够高度便已经被58突防，完全没有发挥出应有的数量优势，而在面对落单的裸奔鱼雷机时，表现更是差劲，几乎每次都让鱼雷机轻松突防，将受伤的军舰补枪击沉。
" ]. i3 D7 E) w0 m0 r+ S: u. S" q
1 a& t) ~" x* H8 [7 q总的来说，到44年6月份，58的规模已经足够横行太平洋，KB单独的实力已经是完全不能抗衡了，而日军陆航的实力则很可疑，不能避免分波的问题就不能发挥出真正的实力，令人心焦不已。 |
