Fatman Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 10-18-08 In WW II Japan was working on a Suicide Rocket Airplane ( Yokosuka MXY-7 OKHA ) to hit and destroy ships. The rocket plane was attached to two Japanese Bombers ( G4m Betty and G8N Renzan Rita ) the bomber would fly close to the target, when the ship was near the Suicide Rocket Airplane was release then the pilot would guide toward the target when close enough he would fire the Ohka's rocket engine and guide the missile toward the ship. The bad thing about this mission it was a one way ( kamikaze ) both pilot and rocket airplane were destroyed. Has anyone been thinking about making a flying Suicide Rocket Airplane for WW II mission. I think it would make a good mission to shoot down Suicide Rocket Airplanes before they would hit and destroy ships. Thanks Fatman Quote
+Wrench Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Yah, it's called the "Natter" and it kinda don't work. The only that could possibly be done, is make an Okha as a bomb to be carried by the player Betty. Build a little pilot figure into it , and give it EOGR as a guidence system, and let fly. It's been tried, belive me. WRench kevin stein Quote

Shaolin Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Yah, it's called the "Natter" and it kinda don't work. No, the "Natter" is a object defense plane - not intendet as a suicide plane (but if you look how such a mission should have gone, it looks pretty suicidal...)! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachem_Ba_349 Quote
