IJN Akagi

4,053 prankstergangster360  4.0 years ago

i decided to make another replica ship, this time i build (yet another) aircraft carrier, the Akagi to be exact. I also "upgraded" the aircraft lauch system a bit. Before some historical accurate comment says something about the Akagi not having kamikaze planes, i could not find the name of any aircraft carrier that had kamikazes, if there are any, so i picked out this ship to form a base for kamikaze planes. If you wonder why made suicide bombers, it is not because hihi japan go kamikaze hihi, but you can put more aircraft on the carrier if you have kamikazes (you do not have to put control groups on the bombs to drop). I also experimented with the Ohka, an self propelled (again) kamikaze bomb, yet again i do not know if this is historically accurate or not. 2 Ohkas are attached to larger variants of the jet planes on the front of the ship. this ship also has movable heavy AA turrets

Notice that the planes are fictional, i cannot make propelor aircraft at this scale an with this short runway

controls:
- plane 1 (activation) - (liftoff) ag1
- plane 2 (activation) ag1 (liftoff) ag2
- plane 3 (activation) ag2 (liftoff) ag3
- large plane 1 (activation) ag3 (liftoff) ag4 (drop Ohka) ag5
- large plane 2 (activation) ag5 (liftoff) ag6 (drop Ohka) ag7
- heavy AA battery, VTOL (horizontal), fire = manual fire (air targets)

    Very nice!
    i'm japanese.
    Kamikaze wasn't using any aircraft carriers in that war.
    They took of from land.
    but, if they used any carriers these is somewhere in "Taiho","Shinano"," jun-yo".

    "Addendum"
    ohka is special attacker. When carrying these, it's hanging in G4M2.
