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,, w5 k: O$ ^$ z1 ^! S- @# h* }
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。

" N# X) q$ Z5 X4 y1 c; o% V$ K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。( |. J5 I  j6 z0 _1 b% E' k7 z
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。7 ~: O' j0 m( v$ H; J5 F
PzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。

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。
