Kamikaze perk points?
« on: March 13, 2001, 11:01:00 AM »
What if they doubled the perk points for a zeke armed with a bomb if it kamikazed into a ship you can get double the perk points, triple if you actually sink it.  Would have to select it in the hanger for what type of mission, for kicks we will call it "You be crazy"!!  We want realism why not this?  I am thinking Baka right now carried into battle by a Ki-67 which i am sure they will make.  Or you could have it were the parent aircraft goes into auto pilot while you guide your rocket to the earth searching for the fleet.  With this baby there is no go around for second attack.  But I can see it now everyone grabbing a zero and headoing for the fleets.  Side note ack gunners tear the watermelon out of the zeke rather easily, would remind me of all the footage I have seen on the history channel.  Think about it in this way as well, with their intent so focused on hitting the carrier shooting down zeke's would be like a turkey shoot.

 The kamikaze one-way planes were extremely inefficient just because there was no way for pilots to train in them. Things associated with high speed like compressibility, buffeting and controls lock and dive took them by surprise.
 That would not be the case with AH pilots who live and learn and have the off-line mode. Our kamikaze would be almost 100% effective.

A well defended fleet with a lil air cover can handle quite a few AC.  Had 7 of us in AA mounts and 5 escorts flying cap, we repulsed attack after attack was very intense sky was completely black from AA fire.  Worth a try though zeke is not exactly durable and fast.  The baka would be interesting though.

60 plus ships, in less than 6 months, you mean.  It was a very efficient use of resources, if not a pleasant aspect of the war.

Online Tai'atari is not so easy as you would think; when we ran it as an SL, less than 50%, way less actually, hit their target with their plane.

Uhm, no way would the Navy let their Ohka(MXY7) be carried into battle under an Army plane(Ki-67)...

 I agree 100% with Raubvogel.
 Kamikaze attacks take no skill what so ever and it would be the the ultimate form of dweebery, imNSHo.  More so even than the "Rocketeer" crap seen in Fighter Ace.

and why not? Only one addition - after commiting suicide you will be forced to change your handle and open a new account with HTC. Just joking, but that would really spoil the fun of CV.
