Kamikaze
« on: July 15, 2009, 02:16:20 PM »
For added realisim, I would like to see a box in the hanger,or some place, that would allow the Japanese planes to be activated into a Kamikaze role. This would be good for late war campaigns and FSO's. I have crashed my plane into ships with no effect ( except on my kite which even State Farm Insurance would not cover ). That was a real part of war, the desperation of the Japanese in late war.  I have seen where some people would like to add other planes, even older Japanese planes ,which would be great for  kamikaze missions.

The thing about suicide missions is that, in real life, there is actual physical harm tied to it. When you complete your mission, you're dead. Because of this suicide missions remain a relative rarity.

In Aces High you don't have that. When you do your little Kamikaze run, you get to take another airplane up and do it (it being whatever you'd like to do, not necessarily a Kamikaze run) all over again.

Really suicide roles such as this have no place in a sand box video game such as Aces High.

Each account should be allowed one mission marked 'Kamikaze'.

You select it from the hangar, and if you die ( shot down, killed, crashed ) your account is closed and gameid is placed on the 'stricken' list.

Only single crew aircraft would qualify to be used.

Make multi crew planes available too. So they are weeded out quicker. Might be a 2 country war IN no time.

Currently the way I see things in this game you either landed successfully, got killed, captured  or a ditch. Now whether you die landing, bailing out of a plane to close to the ground, clip a mountainside, or inadvertently dive your B 17 into the deck of an enemy carrier the end result is the same, that guys dead. This game tries to be realistic. Is it realistic to say that an aircraft hitting another object isn't going to cause some sort of damage to itself or what it hit? When fighters collide doesn't one or both parties take damage, I've never survived a collision in a plane with another plane unscathed.  Make the damage minimal but in the name of realism  boats shouldn't be exempt from damage in any capacity no matter how its inflicted on it. Call it a kamikaze run, call it a donut, just give it damage. ( With no special points awarded for the action.)

I say yes. Alot of people wouldn't fly it though because it will "hurt" their score.

Just make the dammage amount the same as a 250lb bomb, and there you go!

I like this wish because if you get caught on fire, or lose half a wing, you can try and make yourself feel usefull and crash into an ord bunker.
