I added the US Invasion force off Okinawa and waves of Japanese "kamikaze" planes to attack them as well as the fast carrier force.I started a test career put myself nearby on April 6, 1945, the first day the Japanese launched a massive wave of Kamikazes.Now, the game has no kamikaze settings but I saw 3 total crash into ships when burning, reminded me of the footage can see on history or military channel when they talk about Okinawa.I also so saw several more try, some without dropping their ordinance, some with.I managed to catch a few screenshots, a couple show the planes diving after a ship, believe one shows a hit.Not sure if intentional but it sure seems like it, once or twice, but three times plus more attempts, hmmm.Anyway, turned out to be a pretty intense battle.All my AA guns were out of ammo by 1800 and a bomb hit destroyed my engine room bulkhead, leaving a large hole.I have travellers mod, my sub flooded and took a list to starboard and the stern was sinking.I parked in shallow waters and dove on the next raid.Finally after dusk, the last wabve came.All in they all they sunk about 11 ships.....several DE's, one DD , an LST , a T3 tanker, several troopships and liberty ships and damaged my sub, severely.11 ships sunk in one day, out of 80.I have several more large scale kamikaze raids put together throughout April and May and a few in june before Okinawa campaign ends, should be fun when playing in an actual career..They lost well over 200 planes shot down.I lost count at 150 .Next will try to find TF 58 at sea and see if can hang around until their kamikaze raid comes in.Gotta love the ME
