With rocket engine started, nose of Ohka goes down and without booster, force to pull up is too high for human pilot. Japanese never found that problem and that is why most Ohkas crashed to sea before their targets.
There Actually A Prototype Of The V-1 Rocket With The Rocket Having Pilot SO It Have More Precision In Aiming But Due To The Large Engine In The Back The Pilot Cannot Get Out Of The Cockpit In Result Kamikaze German version
Even if it's a game, to embody a suicidal japanese pilot, locked in that rocket, and in the last moments hearing his heartbeat increasing over the gamesound, well it wass kinda touching.
Owlman Chan Yeah FORCED, they didn't have a choice that or be killed that's what makes it touching. Can't imagine how these people felt having to give their life away even when they lost the war.
This gets recommended to me every couple of years, i remember watching this for the first time and last time i watch this it was almost 6 years ago. Really this videos is very nostalgic to me.
I remember playing this as a child and having so much fun just destroying those planes against ships. Today when i know how all Japanese Kamikaze worked it hits different
Pilot: Father! I am all out of bullets! What do I do?! The father: No, my son. YOU are the bullet. Pilot: Yes father! I know what to do! *BANZAI!!!!!!!!!*
they definitely did not have that much control over the Ohka as in the game. the ohka was a gliding bomb with a person who only controlled very little of the direction the bomb was dropped. all the guy did was push the throttle. so it turned into a sort of missile.
In reality, the transport carrying the Ohka was shot down before reaching the battlefield. The Ohka was not a particularly advanced weapon technologically and could have been realized with the technology available at the start of the war. If the Japanese had approached the American fleet with Zero fighter support and attacked using the Ohka, more significant results could have been achieved. Specifically, if they had attacked the Philippines instead of launching the Pearl Harbor attack, and used the Ohka to attack the approaching American fleet, it might have resulted in the complete destruction of the American fleet
Do you... not know what an Ohka is? He was successful in his mission of destroying the ships using disposable human piloted flying bombs, aka Kamikazes
