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,# V4 m1 c- r: b1 m$ K2 M2 a
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。
; A' ?. j  n7 l9 _4 m2 iPzB也是经过痛苦的抉择和反复的选择后，
8 ^9 r- d5 k* q$ 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。7 h( J4 x1 p, V4 ]! d! Z0 \
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。
8 j! P8 B1 _. i2 X" p& [' M6 WPzB已经连续3天从KB上放出上百架零战52去护航B7A突防。* a- F7 U  h3 c# Z
一点效果也没有，每次都是全部零战52都被火鸡。2 c. J7 F, {+ s% p0 B
可能要等到震风出来，KB才能有所作为。

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，' g3 E1 D3 V2 m- I: s
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。。。。
