It a flying gas tank.

And what's your point?  We all know that the Betty, along with other Japanese planes were prone to catching fire.  So what is it that you're trying to bring to the table except the obvious?  Do you know anything about the Betty or the Baka bomb?  Anything that would contribute to this discussion?

In order to properly balance the use of the Ohka, it would require two Betty variants to be introduced. (That is if we limit the Ohka to the Betty. There were other aircraft that could carry them.) One as a pure bomber, and one with a hefty perk price, simply for the incredible bomb (rocket? :lol) load it carries. If the Ohka carrier was left unperked, we'd see widespread abuse of the Ohka. Not only in base raids, but especially in what it was made for; CV killing. Also, the slow speed of the bombers is more than made up for by the fact that the Ohka would be the SECOND rocket plane in our list. (Even though it only approaches 163-like speeds in a dive at full throttle. It's short burn range (23miles) is also more than made up for by the fact that 25 miles is equal to a whole sector, if I can recall.

But weren't they use in the last week of the war or is that the He-162?

Well how about a Late Late Arena?

There you can have a B29.  A nuke.  An Island.  An airfield with a spawn to 30k about 5 minutes outside of island.  When B29rs get over island they can look down and see a big X that says place nuke here for nuke fun!

Then as B29r turns for home they can get their mushroom cloud they so desperately crave!!

 :rofl

The B29rs can climb out and drop the nuke on the island as many times as they need until they get it out of their system?
