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

  m4 S( w) i) n# z3 ?, [' i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。+ l- l7 D* @! Y2 _

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？

B7A，PzB还舍不得做神风。

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。
