Title: Kamikaze enabling
Post by: BaronVonDeath on January 06, 2019, 10:46:42 AM
I think it would be awesome to enable the Japanese Planes to select suicide missions. Kamikaze the bombs into the ships!

We have way too many suicide attacks already.   :old:

Could limit it to an option with the Betty that you carry an Ohka and can only launch it by jumping into it's cockpit and giving up your bomber. The single warhead won't be very effective other than the novelty of the experience.

Here is a link to an article where it points out two 20mm armed Ohka were used in 45 to intercept B29 over japan.

The Betty mothership would need to be added to the game for the Ohka.

Immoral??? It wasn't my Idea... lol look at history.. The Japs started it and in this game it would be awesome to have the ability to dive bomb ships in planes. It doesn't have to be only Jap planes, all planes would be better.

Only if you were unable to fly for some time after. :D

We are playing a game where the goal is to shred people up with high caliber lead bullets and drop high explosives on their GV turning them in to flaming coffins.  It's a bit much to start talking about morality isn't it?   We aren't playing "My Favorite Pony". Besides, it's only pixels.  :cool:

I could see an explosives packed Kamikaze aircraft as a high value perk plane.  But his enemy icon would have a special token or something so opposing players would know it wasn't just a normal zeke.

But I'm kind of a sicko.  I want V1/V2 perk rockets too.  :t

I could see that.  1 million perks.  ;) 

Instant map reset.  If enough players hate a map, they all donate perks into a Manhattan Project pool and if it hits the threshold, boom.  Mushroom cloud.  Map reset. 

Which ever side had donated the most perks wins.  :t

Use actual cash money instead of perks and you might be on to something. A bold advance in video game development: Extortion.

I like how you think.   :t
It would be an elegant proof as to how much players really hate a map.
Hate this map?   Really?  How much ($) do you hate it?   :devil

No, no, that's all totally harmless. The evil only starts when someone says amazinhunk,  bigtoe, squeak, etc or shows a picture of nipples.

That's a good idea. If you die (maybe only in case of own stupidity not enemy fire) you are morphed in a ghost plane (only visible to other ghost planes) , cannot exit flight, and can only lauch a normal one after landing at any fried field.
