Let me see you want to add Kamakazis to the game even though theres thousands that play this game and some of them are Japanese. American born, Canadian born, or born in Japan, allowing Kamakazi attacks would affend these people who are or have a Japanese background.

Its like allowing to add Swastikas to German planes when in Germany the Swastika is banned from everything but something historic. Yes AH is historic but its a game. If you added a Swastika it would affend some Germans and if you added Kamakazi planes or settings Japanese people would get affended. Thats why we have no Swastikas or Kamakazis.

yeah, P-38 ace Gerald Johnson (not the 56th FG guy, the SWPAC one) flew in combat with a live duck in his cockpit.
he had over 20 victories, but i guess this falls under the catoegory of unofficial field mod, like the 75" P-38 alisons

I don't think it's a matter of cultural sensitivity, Voo (I think the whole ban-the-swastika law is nothing but ludicrous over-reaction and historical white-washing).

"And if you look in your guidebooks, you vill learn of German's vunderful history!"

"Excuse me, why is there nothing for 1938 through 1945?"

"Nothing happened! No more questions!"

"You know, World War II? The invasion of Poland?"

"VE VERE INVITED!"

Yay Family Guy!

LMBO @ Family Guy quote!

I haven't seen that one but can picture it now!

Swastika is a matter of law in Germany. This is an international game.

The many MANY reasons of "Why NOT to includ kamikazes into this game" don't really include "because people of Japanese descent play the game".

That's a really shallow reason, IMO.

Just watched Saving Private Ryan this evening, and for some reason that quote popped in my head.

But yeah, we don't want kamikaze because pork-and-auger Buffs, Typhoons, Ponies, La-Las, etc etc etc are bad enough as it is. We don't need to see auger-TO-pork.

Of course, if they make kamikaze a perk option, for which you blow any and all perks you've acquired, for ALL missions (fighter, bomber and vehicle), on ONE sortie...

But no. Stupid, stupid idea that would just increase the general dweebery of the arenas.

She turned me into a gerbil!

I got better.

Allow kamikazi's to cause damage... only if you are not allowed to up again until the object you destroyed is repaired.

I don't think Japanese people would be offended by the ability to drive your plane into something and cause damage.

It would just result in a lot of people flying formations of B24's into hangars, CV's, and anything else that they wanted to put out of action.

Stoney74 · « **Reply #26 on:** February 04, 2007, 01:46:25 AM »

Hmmm, kamikazes = people willing to die to do a perceived appreciable amount of damage. Kind of like folks that de-ack a field until their plane comes apart, or dive bomb with strat bombers, people that don't break off the plane in front of them when someone saddles up behind them...Seems like we already have them in the game. God put landing gear on airplanes for a reason.

I think it would not affend any japanese who played this game as the pilots who carried out these attacks believed they were doing it for their country and for honor

i think it would offend the english guys who gave all their kamikazees VCs
