Title: just wondering.........mxy-7
Post by: ikillya on September 27, 2002, 09:47:24 AM

Was attacking a carrier yesterday and was marveling at all the flak being thrown up.  I know people get pissed when someone uses a tiffie or a 47 to suicide the cv, but was dreaming a little thinking  it would be great to have one of these.



"Yokosuka mxy-7 okha wooden monoplane , 2645lb bomb powered by 3 1200lb thrust rockets and one crazy pilot. Rockets had 10 second burn and top speed of 600 miles an hour.  This was carried to within 50 miles of target area then released by a parent plane and glided to target.  Once visually acquired the pilot ignited rockets and dove into the enemy.  A direct hit could sink an aircraft carrier."

Dont know how the flip it would be implemented but would be a hoot to try and get into the cv with this.

It would certainly make the suicide-divebomb CV attacks more realistic. :D
