a fast, not-so-nimble(blame the short wings), Baka-Interceptor, I swear idk why but she has a damn good accuracy, nearly all but my Ki-94-I loses to this(which is understandable, Ki-94-I has push-pull engines and.. two of 30mm and 37mm each, highly survivable and deadly.)

i slipped into the rabbit hole of Ohkas, originally planned to make the Ohka-22(still am) but then i read up more and well, there's Ohka-33, Ohka-34, Ohka-43(there's A and B variant, latter is for the I-400 sub, damn lomng wimngs.), the Ohka-53... and finally the unknown interceptor variant dubbed the "Suzuka-24", there's not much information about it but from what I can gather well... the sources turns back on the same one(Sensha-Manual) so i assume that's the most trusted one, hmh.

yes, it has a dolly, and propelled to takeoff with a rocket booster, what? its damn cool.

The Ohka rocket from 1944 to 1945 went through several design changes. With the underlying change of which for different warhead sizes and powertrains. All of the models shared the same underlying theme - suicide use against warships. However by 1945, a new threat emerged to Japan, American strategic bombing raids. The introduction and use of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress posed a substantial threat to Japanese aircraft. To remedy this issue, development of new more powerful fighters took place. Not only, but correspondence with Germany resulted in sharing of rocket and jet engine information to Japan. Such examples and information would lead to aircraft such as the Kikka and Ki-200 to be built at the end of the war.

Rocket development became heavy in Japan, with multiple designs being built. It was decided to redesign the Ohka for a new role - bomber interception. Similar in operation to the Ki-200 rocket, the Ohka-based interceptor would be lighter in weight, smaller armament, and a small silhouette. The Ohka was designed by the Japanese Naval Air Service, however the change to use a land-based interceptor was developed by either the Navy or Army air serviced, currently unknown.

The new design removed the use of a warhead entirely. As its purpose was intercepting B-29's, the weight and use of a warhead was seen as impractical and hazardous to the design. Instead, a fuel tank and two 20mm cannons were placed in the nose of the design. Due to this, there is no room in the nose to fit a warhead of any size. With only a length of 6 meters, the 20mm cannons take up a considerable worth of space to fit the gun and munition belts properly. The design of the aircraft was significantly altered to account for its new use. A changed tail design, now introducing a general vertical and horizontal rudder and elevator, allowing better control of the aircraft in flight. Along with this a longer wingspan, being 0.5 meters longer on each side of the aircraft and thicker support. The new design of the Ohka-interceptor allowed for ease of maneuverability in flight.

The Ohka interceptor was produced in a handful of models. By the time the war ended in 1945, most of the vehicles were kept at Suzuka, Yokosuka, and Kanoya airfields. United States Intelligence discovered one model at Suzuka, and labeled the aircraft as the Suzuka-24 as the official designation was not known.

Four more models of the Suzuka-24 were discovered at Kanoya airfield. At Yokosuka, another model was found along with a pilot belonging to the airfield captured. The pilot listed details of the aircraft, its designated use being bomber intercepting, and measurements of the aircraft. Photographs were mentioned as being taken, however at this time none have been found.

[ Guidelines ]

[ Taxiing ]

• N/A

[ Takeoff ]

• Throttle 100%, let the Rocket boosters propel you up.

[ Flight ]

• Standard Controls, very easy on hand but of course it's a bit slow to manoeuvre, it's fast thoh so..

[ Landing ]

• 0% power, glide slowly and crash land like how they would've done it.

or...

• 1) Locate the nearest US Navy ship
• 2) Head the airplane directly at the ship.

• 3) Praise the emperor

• 2x Type 99 20mm Cannon, 520rpm, 600m/s(2000ft/s)

[ Notes ]

• if you wanna dogfight it or just spawning it in general, i suggest getting the Airspawn ver. since this one(with the dolly) will register as "aircraft damaged" so it's literally gonna not pop up on your screen, i swear, getting suddenly whacked out of nowhere is confusingly terrifying.

Free to use!

if ya want to make an airbase, or maybe make an airwing for a carrier, or maybe to help battleships lead their shells, you can add and use any of my planes (unless you claim them as your own creation, i will damp your pillows if you do.)

Want More Part-Efficient Aircrafts?

come along come along! we(yes, we.) have a lot of low part, simple, and realistic performing aircrafts for all to use and fight against! light performance cost and AI-spawnable, there's no reason not to! we have the little beloved Fuchs, the graceful Muromets, and... a lot of obscure aircrafts... ANYWAY COME JOIN US!!

P.S. if you want to throw in an idea, maybe a plane, a ship, anything really(I even got an interdimensional interplanetary vacuum cleaner).. go do it, I'll pick it up if i find the idea interesting enough.
