Kamikaze 1945

STEED · 02-20-08, 10:58 AM

Earlier this week I saw a documentary on TV called Day of the Kamikaze which looked at the peak of the Kamikaze attacks in April to June 45 as they attacked the American ships stationed at Okinawa while the bloody Battle for Okinawa was going on. Or so I must mention that us the British were also hit further south, excepted the Americans bore the brunt of these attacks.

Just wondering has anyone seen these Kamikaze attacks in the game?

I haven't, but I can't imagine that it would be very difficult to modfy Zero behavior for that time frame to basically ram your boat, instead of bombing it. I've had plane parts hit my boat before after shooting them down and I never had any damage.

I have seen them climb straight up after an attack, but they never successfully hit my boat. It sounds like an intact plane will do damage to you, but if it's already destroyed, the parts won't.

Has anyone swung by Okinawa in that time frame?

Any ships in big groups?

Kamikaze pilots were always told to go after capital ships, so I don't think they'd ever bother w/a submarine.
