Kamikazes should do damage

[Canadyne]

I see no reason to not have them do damage
EDIT: I now realise this is a terrible idea, though if it were somehow an actual idea that was implemented, there should be a large penalty, for example: triple repair cost, crew having a 5 minute hold time after you suicide bomb, or not being able to do damage unless you have not dropped any bombs, and, for planes without bombs, there should be little or no explosive mass, save for the explosive yield of the amount of fuel you have loaded - this edit was after about 8 replies just for context, I guess

Also if you use a plane in Ground RB there should be a penalty, like a doubled repair cost or only being able to use one plane

See no reason? bro suicide revenge bombers are bad enough for ground rb

[El poco nuez del muerte]

To ground vehicles? Way back they did. It was an absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I still remember kamikaze planes deal damage and kill tanks or disable tracks just by crashing onto them. They remove that feature and now everyone just went suicide bombing.

[Col. Cornbread]

They use to do damage and it was annoying as ♥♥♥♥ because the game became, Get killed revenge bomb him, kill another person with your other bomb then Kamikaze into another vehicle. that would give you enough points to spawn into 4 more airplanes rinse and repeat.

From the second it takes off and you're inside, its a cage you see.
You know your eye balls freezes up altitude of 20000 feet.
The electrics keeps you alive, the wires and cables.
Then the flak comes in, thick and heavy.
You wont get out, not when it dives 300 knots.
There's a beast deep inside you.
It will not die, It will fight back.

Imho yes, but there should be a penalty for purposeful suicide bombing. If your plane was shot down and it’s remains hit something, or if it was critically damaged and you ram someone as you’re going down, I think it should; but I think ramming or dropping bombs and crashing within seconds, using an undamaged or nearly undamaged plane, shouldn’t reward the kill and have like double the repair cost or something imo.

In like ground battles and stuff, air battles against AI it shouldn’t matter.

Except for Arcade, sure.

[Torasan]

Thank the religion of peace for that

[-NODER-_Novastorm_]

It was very exploited stuff, i can talk about myself too, those hull break tanks, very unfair, glad this kamicaze is out of game...

First reply nailed it.

[Thomas Karate]

I think it could work, but only in naval battles, and only with Japanese planes.

Hell no. Aircraft are already cancer to the enjoyment of tank battles. Kamikazes USED TO hurt player tanks, and all that did was make the game even more rage inducing. ♥♥♥♥ that. We need tank battles without air power at all, not more ways for air power to make tank players angry.

Aircraft collisions used to cause damage on impact with land vehicles in both air and ground battles. That was changed after people started crashing peashooters into tigers. Maybe there’s a balance to be struck between open top vehicles and aircraft collisions. Feel free to post it in suggestions and on the official forums.

IMHO no. Open top vehicles are vulnerable enough to artillery and actual aircraft cannons. There is no real reason to give them another disadvantage.
