Beating the dead horse, but....
« on: March 17, 2011, 12:40:07 AM »
I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but they said that about the B-29 and look, it’s in there finally! Lol. I just had idea about maybe adding some suicide planes, or related such as the Buka (or is spelled Boca?) I know this probably won’t actually ever be in the game but figured worth a try anyway. Flame suit on.



1 – Buka bombs – We have the Betty now, and those planes were the ‘mother’ plane so why not add it as extra position on the bomber ( or equal to a DT, its just there, drops but doesn’t cause any damage)

2- Buka bomb can be manned but only at the cost of perks (fighter, bomber). Player must have another player fly the Betty, or put it on a drone.

3- Buka causes sever damage equal to say a 1K bomb.

4- Kamikaze – Player can only use Japanese planes and if no damage is awarded the person for crashing into a ship, then perhaps perkies for it (very low).

Aces High is a game that rewards surviving combat and returning to your base. Not everybody plays with those goals but an aircraft that kills the pilot for each successful flight really doesn't fit in.

Indeed, I was wondering if the OP meant Ohka instead of Buka (a common misconception, IIRC).

Youre right, apologizes.
I meant that japanese manned, rocket-powered V1 clone, Ohka, Buka, Baka, whatever its name is.

     The Betty we have isn't the same as the Betty that launched the Ohkas.

Picture flying the bomber   :airplane: and getting the "<some name> wants to join your plane" :O box on screen. You let them join and then  :salute drop them. They might learn  :eek: to ask first  :ahand next time. This could be a great training tool guys.  :aok

Being a huge fan of Japanese aviation, I would never want to see these things added to our game. They were a last ditch effort of desperate men from a dying military. There inclusion in the game would be distasteful to say the least IMO.

I think we have enough suicidal lemmings that use our current plane-set as Baka-Bombs and we don't need to add the actual thing. I'm not trying to complain about peoples play styles but on some nights all I see is an endless stream of planes coming into a base, dropping their ord, dying, rinse/repeat.

What is the reward, now I feel like I'm missing out on something! :cry
