Title: Beating the dead horse, but....
Post by: RoGenT 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).

Ohka, perhaps?

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.

Cool pic and everything, think about it, if youre in an okha, you will DIE at most 5 mins after the lauch. Very sad.

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

I think he ment Baka, the slang term for it

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

The Baka bomb or any other suicide weapon really has no place in here or in any other game.  Also, the Betty we have in game was incapable of acting as the "mothership" for the Baka, we have the G4M1 Model 11 while the one that carried the Baka was the G4M2e Model 24 Tei.

ack-ack

In my opinion there are too many people out there that "bomb and bail" already, this just seems like the same concept except the bomb has to be piloted to the target before you get the quick trip back to the tower with the added bonus that you get to fly "teh super uber kewl rocket bomb".  The baka bomb needs to stay sidelined just like the nukes for the b29.  My .02
