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。
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?

南达科他怎么回事,居然会被PC一炮打起火?
为什么不转紫电呢.....产量不够是吗.....
他们的房规是自动升级。
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。
Soldiers and sailors would fight like madmen to hang on to the red-light district . . . wouldn’t they?
这点我挺佩服PzB的,
- Y8 H4 m( J5 V6 h2 j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。。。。
一万年太久,只争朝夕!
今天我去看了他的战报...他KB被全灭拉....
