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,
, o4 M* ]" G3 c3 D% I0 M/ m) K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。

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。
! O8 m- n' U0 _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。9 w0 G- L4 B- Z+ t: L

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。

不知道整个44年他是怎么撑下来的？

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。。。。
