Anyone given any thought to a G4M Betty armed with a bakka bomb? Might be neat to commit suicide against a carrier although it would count as a death in the bomber column.
I propose that an individual could fly the Betty to it's intended target then transfer to the ohka (bakka bomb)via key control and launch against the carrier (or other installation). The Betty would then disappear (unless you've got a gunner joined as the Ohka pilot and you're the betty pilot) and the individual would be left piloting the winged bomb toward it's intended target.
If you hit a carrier and sink it, your reward would be 20-25 bomber perks. If you hit a hangar or other installation it would be much less; on the order of 3-5 perks. I'm thinking it would be similiar to a Lancaster hitting it with a 4,000 lb. bomb.
Flying the Ohka would not be an easy job as it is essentially a manned bomb with short stubby wings and tail. In order to get those 20-25 bomber perks, you would have to work pretty hard as those wings would rip off at a high speed. Then you really are a manned bomb without any control. You could be shot down by fast fighters as well. The ohka would have approximately a 1-7 mile range (depending upon the alt of the Betty at launch) at the most as it is unpowered.
An experiment in the spirit of the Kamikaze; only with a cyber reality twist.
The Betty can also be used as a conventional bomber and a torpedo bomber as are the Ju88 and TBM.
