When you hit a ship you should be able to do alot of damage or at least disable some of the guns or jam the rudder.

I agree. We should have Kamikazi in this game. This adds to realism. However, if you hit the ship, your account will be terminated and you are banned forever from game. This further adds to realism.

I think many would agree with you.  The problem as I see it with allowing suicide attacks is there is no downside to suicide pilot gamewise other than hurtin stats which most people could careless about now--since HT has made it clear that its just fine to kill your shade account in order to pad stats--what a bunch of BS that is.  Once they crash into a ship, they get to up brand new shiny plane.  Perhaps if there was some penalty like a time limit that had to be waited out between deaths I would be supportive of such an idea.

Show me where HT has said this.  On more than one occasion people have been caught doing this, reported by the community, and their stats have been erased.

No:

Because people (newbs) will do it constantly because they cannot do anything else

Because you can already use Lanstukas and carpet bomb the CV

The noob flys high over the enemy task group. As he looks down at it ready and determind to kamakazie into it he squeaks his head off on range channel "Guys cover me I'm going in!" He dives! Picking up airspeed rapidly, He lets out a loud yell on range channel for the last time before he dies "LLEEEEERRROOOOYYY JEEEEENNNKKKKINNNSS!" Ka-Boom! He slams his plane into the flight deck of the enemy carrier, planes trying to take off the carrier explode, 40mm quad guns blow-up from the explosion, VansCrew somewhere says noob, channel 200 light up with rage as people yell at the kamakazie pilot. The noob re-up in Lancasters and says "Now lets do it again!"



I don't think we need kamakazie's

If you don't mind losing 50 perks for a suicide run, than have at it.

Hey, they lost there life, so what's 50 perk points.

Enable it for zero's only. Give it a check box before flight, and your good to go.  Give the Kamikazi a set point amount of damage.

Ahh.. nevermind, i'd rather see Combat Tour.

Speed.......2 weeks

Now theres a novel idea! Maybe said zero would have no guns at all and limited fuel. Possibly also only available from carriers?

Yes there would be no end to it. Unless we could have an limiter that only allowed maybe........20 zekes per carrier?

I'd like to see damage modeling on all things to be improved. On ships maybe we can maybe kill engine, cause a ship to list, or maybe lag behind the rest of the convoy and be isolated (this wouldn't apply to the carrier of course, but to her escorts?)

Baka (Okha) bombs... 37 perks.

Ever since thatepisode of Dogfights i wanted to be able to fly kamikaze missions as part of the divine thunder gods corp!
Then i can fly my Zero into ships and yell, "For Emperor Hirohito!".
Then after I die I will do it again!
Except in a Lancaster!

 We should damage a plane be hiting right?Yes there is damage by hiting a plane but the one that is going the fastest is the only one that gets the damage.

I could see a Kamikaze as a perked ride.  Be a great way to get rid of perks because you can't cause enough damage to break even on losing the plane.

Make it unarmed and give it a damage rating equal to say 8000 lbs?
The let everyone up their perked Kamikazees and do HQ raids


Not to hijack the thread, but I'd love to see it so that you had to wait 3-5 mins before you could 'reup' after dying.  Might give some people an incentive to actaully try to survive.

[Latrobe]

have you pay Bomber perks from kamakazie plane. We all have too many anyways.

No, then ramming becomes a valid tactic.  The collision model is fine the way it is.
