Kamikazing?

I know this sounds assets depleting and not an effective way of killing the enemy, but i'm just curios is it gonna work in PR, to get in an aircraft and ram it at high speed on a group of enemy personal or vehicles resulting their death and destruction? and if so, whats the best method of doing that to your opinion? (I know kamikazing is not the whats PR all about but I did this just for discussion and maybe singleplayer fun :P )

On top of being maybe the second fastest way of getting yourself kicked/banned from most servers, behind teamkilling, kamikaze use of assets, especially air assets, just isn't very effective. The blast radius of vehicles exploding is significantly smaller and generates less damage than the munitions carried by virtually any combat vehicle.

But yeah, you hit something head on, it's probably going to die.

For killing squads of soldiers? Your kamikaze run probably cost your team more tickets than the other side. Plus an air asset.

I remember seeing a cow pilot on our team that was taking heavy fire and his heli was smoking badly, then he just turns around and smashes into enemy tank on Kashan, they both explode, most epic suicide i've ever seen on PR.

If you are burning up, why not?

A cow was burning up once and I watched it hover down, and didn't realize the pilot was directing it to me. He clipped my head... Couldn't stop laughing. But to contribute to the discussion, I think it would be cool if the WW2 guys eventually create a Japanese force to allow them to kamikaze. Any other faction should not be allowed to.

In regular PR it's a worthless tactic.

PR WW2 could probably implement it effectively- I could see some fantastic air warfare stemming from that

I don't think planes' explosion is big enough.

Also, iirc bf2's code was changed so that if you crash aircraft into tanks, tanks get the kills.


And why not just drop bombs?

Drop bombs before you dive into ground w/ jet=Epic Kamikaze

And probably most epic kick/ban he has seen aswell. Dont try this stuff in public servers please.

First they have to get proper naval warfare in PR:WW2 before Japs get the kamikaze plane. And that will take, well, long time.

I remember Hardcore crashed all their trans choppers into our armor during a Scrimmage years ago.
