Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka ("Baka")

[oakranger]

How many where used in the war?  I can think of one battle where it was used.

[Mitsu]

the same meaning.

u can say it as stupid.

[Ack-Ack]

This wish would also require the addition of a new plane to be the "mothership" since the Betty we haven't wasn't the model that was used for that role.

I hardly think we need another way of killing a CV, it is too easy as it is.

The Ohka wouldn't be all that effective anyway. It only had a 2600lb warhead so you would need 3 or maybe 4 of them to sink a CV. The G4M2 carrier aircraft version of the Betty had more power than our G4M1 but even that struggled to carry the weight of the Ohka.

In AH a formation of three G4M2 Betties carrying Ohkas would probably take longer to get to alt and reach a CV than any other level bomber and would be way more vulnerable to fighters while on the way. While the player is guiding each Ohka to its target the formation would be completely defenceless. The Ohkas themselves would not be invulnerable to prox fused AA fire either. All in all you would do better with a formation of any of AH's four engined bombers.

I know but I think it would be cool, I did not think This Post would be this controversial

[Seanaldinho]

I think it would be cool

Thats why its controversial, being cool isnt a legitimate reason to add it when countless other wishes with potential are waiting in line.

It did not play any significant role for the Japanese.  They had a single successful attack on a picket ship and obtained a hit on another, but the Ohka went in one side and out the other without exploding.

As much as I am a fan of the Japanese aircraft from WW2, I would not want to see the inclusion of ANY suicide weapons. Desprate measures, taken by a desperate country, during desperate times. No need IMO to include them into our flying game.

[Ruah]

Ohka (blossom) is a suicide weapon, and there are a few German versions as well.  I personally think suicide weapons should not be included since it will be used in a way that is disrespectful of the people who flew them and because it does not add anything to the game other then that CVs will become useless.

I have not heard one good reason what this human guided rocket would bring to the game.

BAKA means fool in English...I don't want this baka weapon...

Baka was american code name for it because they did not know the power of it

[321BAR]

Baka was american code name for it because they did not know the power of it

nor the FOOL flying it

suicide weapons will never be in AH

[Ack-Ack]

In case it hasn't dawned on you, it wasn't a very effective weapon.

Dozen tries and only thing it sank was a picket destroyer i think.

How many even got close enough to launch?  As I recall the single biggest failure point was the G4M2 mothership, which was extremely vulnerable and easy to intercept.
