i mean.. its romanticism of death... why not have a kamikaze plane... is it even possible?
-
Possible yes but the odds of it be added are slim. I dont think we will see it

Only if you can only do it once and never play again.

Nope. This would add nothing but grief to the game.

another way for the annoying "rage quitters" to actually LEAVE the game forever :aok
-
what woiuld be gained from it? think about it, it took 3 or 4 well placed kamikazes to take out a ship, how hard would it be for a squad to up 10 or 12 and horde a ship to ruin one of the few good fights in which neither side is winning nor losing? -1

Could be useful for special events, but for general use?
No.

Lusche shot that troll out of the sky :rofl
and maybe if we could only use it in special events or something so -1 for now

if you got your wing shot off or something then your plane could turn into an oversized bomb(with the plane body model) and it would do damage depending on how much fuel/ammo was left in it and how much of the plane was left.
-
Yeah.... its just a bad idea. All the players who cant hit a target with a bomb would start throwing themselves at ships and tanks... with no penalty. IRL the kamikaze carried a rather hefty penalty. :huh Here you just up and get a new ride.
This has been asked for before... many times.
Try this though... up a zeke with a single bomb. Dive in... release the bomb... and dont pull up. :D

hahahahaha lol
well lets say the plane add an extra 500lb of damage and u dont recieved perks for that damage "because your dead" and just like all my torp runs im dead when they hit and get nothing for sinking ships...maybe.
but then again my fiancee would destroy my computer if i started screamming "banzia"!!! as i lawn darted my zero in to an m3 trying to take my base

So is this up there with the Nuke?

I have a solution: If you up a japanese plane (no, you can't Kamakize with a lancaster :bhead) and you actually strike an enemy ship, structure, or vehicle while your plane is still capable of controled flight (absolutly NO reason you should do so in a japanese aircraft), you instantly loose all of your perks in all categorys, and you must train a new pilot (teach him navigation and eveything) or fly without the clipboard map, and with the trajectory of your weapons and ordnance randomized to hell. All training must take place in the Training Arena under the guidance of a certified Trainer.
-
No, bad idea.
Tank-Ace,
We have at least a couple Japanese planes that were not used for kamikaze attacks.
-
I know, its just a way to thin out the niki dweebs :noid.
-
The N1K2-J would be one of those two that were not, so far as I know, used for kamikaze. Ki-84 is the other.
-
Yes, but if we include it as a Kamakize aircraft, then we might see a reduction in the number of niki-dweebs that just spray and pray, or suicide into CV's to get just a few kills.
-
check this out... the romanticism of the KAMIKAZE....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5slCTLrFHI
and also this very moving movie...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVlZizY_ubw
awesome!!! tried it on the coral sea battle today(even tho it did no damage).... was truly awesome!!
really.... its really good for those downer days when you feeling the lows....

lets enable this and ONLY this for the following.
800nate,ltryan,and squeeky.
there are no more that i can remember right now.il finish later
-
I agree in general kamakazies would be a bad idea for general gameplay.
But I can think of one way it might work. It would have to be setup for one specific plane in the hangar and after you do it you would automatically logged off and not allowed back in game for 12 hours. And have it done by IP address not handle
-
having seen aircraft fly through ack and puffy with no hits on them and they still hit the ship, who needs them?

Really the only answer you should be receiving.
cheers! :aok
-
well.. i think an easy way would be to not award perkies for kamikazes... you up a kamikazee... crash... you will not get perkies...so i'm guessing people will get bored of not getting perkies..... i mean... it also takes a certain level of skill to dive down.. maintain speed... so ack doesn't get you and crash...sounds stupid at times... but i reckon the fun factor in crashing causing damage just seems awesome! maybe it would work in special events... but at least have it somewhere...
-
Perks are actually a VERY small motivator to most players. For the majority, its about screwing over the red guys, because they're "evil" :noid.
I hate the animosity between countrys. I don't hold grudges against any side. If a giant Lancaster horde to a base occures, then I'll start trash talking the country that did it for an hour or so, then I let it go.
-
If you want the immersion of a kamakazie, up a zeke or a ki-61, dive for the carrier, drop it's a and follow them into the ship. Done it a couple times offline to see how well it works, and the bombs hit just after or right when you join the tower.
As for kamakazie planes? NO for the MA
-
The idea is absurd. Japanese players have posted in the past saying they oppose the idea.
That said, the word is "kamikaze", a combination of "kami" meaning spirit or divine and "kaze" meaning wind.
-
The idea is about as romantic as suicide bombers. It was a desperate measure, for a nation that was losing the war. Many brave young men died doing it before they even got the chance to live. And for what? Nothing.
Patton had it right... "No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country."
To reproduce these types of attacks in the game is not only pointless and unnecessary... it would dishonor the memories of those that died performing them... and those that died due to them.
I find it hard to believe this request keeps coming up.

i agree, it's a sad and horrific idea.
however, an argument can be made for special events. yes, i do think it is immoral, but then again we have to acknowledge the existence of the kamikaze units, all those poor young souls that were robbed from life by being told dying for their emperor was a worthy cause. Just like how we must acknowledge the existence of the Third Reich.
"those who forget history are destine to repeat it"
-
I doubt the United States are going to start hurling F-16's loaded with exlosives at carriers any time soon :lol.
I think the reason the japanese did it was because they had a strong military tradition, and were taught that it was better to die rather than surrender.
The Germans started using the kamikazie tactic for the simple reason that it worked. However, they wanted their pilots to bail out once they rammed a B-17.

i think it would be honouring their deaths... these pilots... died for country and family...i admire their courage..... put all the politics aside... and focus and the pilot's point of view...to ask a man to dive into certain death is by no means an easy task... their mental courage....to defy all odds...i think if we are to remember the kamikaze pilots... its not that they fought for japan or the emperor.. but the fact..how these pilots mentally conditioned themselves for death... the courage it took them... i'm sure most would have wet their pants....both sides lost tons of good lives... we remember them for their merits and bravery... what ever side they come from...

That isn't what you would get here. You would get yahoos smashing plane after plane after plane into a ship just because they can. There would be no "honor", because there is no death. No glory... just "Yay... I skillessly smashed me cartoonz plane n2 a cartoonz ship cuz I canz and I R the kewelest! And watch whilz I duz it agin!"
Your intent may be pure... but the main arenas would quickly pervert your wish into something that everyone would hate.
Im not going to get into my underlying opinion of suicide attacks. This isnt the place for it.

If you get close enough to a ship to crash your plane into it, why not just use a bomb instead? You can drop the bomb from altitude, do damage, and stand a chance at getting away. Seems silly in that respect. On another level, it'd be used to game the game.
"Hey, let's get 20 guys to kamikaze the hangars and town, then rush the goon in!" or "Hey guys, let's go out and kamikaze all the tanks at this camped spawn!"
Nope.

The kamikaze in real life was much more effective and easier than conventional dive bombing, which is why it was implemented
-
Well, would it be such a crime to make plane crashes equivalent to a 100lb bomb?????
I mean really, they blow up right?

yea i guess so....wat if it only works for cvs? not hangers or town... then again.. you'll get hording noobs doing it just for the fun of it even tho you dun get perks for it... but i certainly would love to see it in some scenario tho...like the last days before you guys dropped the the atom bomb...
-
what is its kinda like the 163; butnif your team has lost 20% of bases u can do it, but guy u kill gets the kill and no perks at all for kamikaze.

sounds like fun already.... and true to the nature of the kamikaze as well, without much interference to the major game play...i likeyy!!! :aok

The people that will do it arent the ones that care about perks anyway... there is nothing short of account deletion that could represent the outcome of a "successful" kamikaze strike.

For most, the largest motivation in the game is pissing off the red guys, loosing them perks, and killing the fun for them.
