盟军四发不顾敌直掩战斗机,奋力压制加里椰地机场。日军前期战斗机对四发虽然很难击落,不过可以进行骚扰,有效干扰盟军投弹的准确度。

6月4日,盟军判断前日尝到扫场甜头的日军KB会继续进行对泗水机场进行扫场,果断变换战术,调派在附近基地一直在进行训练的DB(俯冲轰炸机)和TB(鱼雷轰炸机)增援泗水机场,在战斗机配合下,0直掩出击,争取给KB带来杀伤。0 p9 _6 ~: }4 ]
% [' T/ D. A, P- h! D. K* x" UAE中,大机群,优势是泗水这种被打零散的几十个机队的飞机进行协同出击比较困难,为了提高协同率,TB和DB以及掩护的战斗机高度一律设置为10000英尺。DB在AE中咸鱼翻身,不再是WITP中的鸡肋了,其设置在10000英尺会进行俯冲攻击,精度较高,对舰艇的杀伤力比较大。TB攻击时会自动降低到200英尺高度发射鱼雷。9 O5 N; E V8 e* g

上午,突破50多架0战的直掩后,TB面对敌舰队的AA炮火,200英尺高度发射鱼雷无一命中,而DB立功了,瑞鹤命中2枚1000磅,苍龙被命中1枚1000磅,幸运的是战列舰比睿承当了肉盾被弹2枚1000磅。" n* p) w0 }: l8 Z
