add kamikaze feature for japanese tech tree

[skyraider74]

for all Japanese aircraft (execpt for large bombers). There should be the ability to crash into enemy ships and planes. Unlike other trees, if you crash a japanese aircraft into a ship it will make a large explosion regardless of payload.

im not trolling, i think it should be added. But limited to naval battles.

You mean even before they enable proper foliage collision? Like planes can still fly through trees just fine, but do collision damage to vehicles?

That wouldn't make sense, historically the planes were laden with fuel and explosives for that purpose, and didn't carry a regular payload.

They also had a tendency to explode when hit with anything, or even just because it was a monday.

While yes it's from a movie but it really did happen.

I think they did, but in RB test drive you have collision physics with ground units, you can push some tanks around and the top tier SPAA's but in an actual match you just die and do no damage.

Funny thing, it's the exact opposite, Japan gets credit for kills when crashing after trading shots A LOT less than any other nation

Meh, if you really want to have the option to load an aircraft with kamikaze payload sure go ahead.

As for American kamikaze tactics at Midway, there is a difference between heading off with the intention to suicide attack, and the act of going "Well I may be a dead man but you're coming with me!". Just saying.

The difference: a "Plan A."

Kamikaze imprint. No, crashing a plane wouldn't cause that much damage if it hasn't got payload.

Yes, they did. It use to be a thing and it was awful. Eventually it was removed.

NO. it used to be a thing and it was horrible, no open top tank was safe literally 90% of my deaths in the flak 88 were from plane ramming

I love seeing planes attempt to kamikaze. I know some of them just mess up their dives, but I imagine this is what's happening every time a plane crashes into the ground right beside me. If somebody wants to waste their plane as a misguided one-time attack, fine by me.

HMS Sussex, hit by a Mitsubishi Ki-51 light bomber. Being a kamikaze pilot isn't always effective.

Edit: and in case someone is really bored, here's a ballistics report on it https://aip.scitation.org/doi/pdf/10.1063/1.5099877#:~:text=HMS%20Sussex%2C%20like%20a%20number,very%20thin%20barrier%20%5B25%5D).

Is that an external armored belt though?
