Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka

Hello
An Ohka, a Japanese army "suicide" single-seater glider dropped from Betty bomber.
I don't know yet how I'm going to play it but it will serve as a goal for the Pacific campaign, probably during a game with ships.
I have two of them that will either make 2 different targets, or allow me to move the plane forward by laying the bases one in front of the other.
The speed being 840 km / h
So it is a joker for the Japanese player. It cannot be stopped by a fighter so it will be either the AA or the maneuvers of the ships that will prevent the shock.
Or use it in a mission to shot down the bomber before he drop the glider.

I was thinking of doing a paper model of ohka. But I have no good idea about how to house rule it.

That was the standard US countermove.

It's a brengun model 1/144

That looks pretty cool Fox. Hmmm, how to get that into a game. If you do please tell us.

Very nice, fox!

Quite nice! Very well done!

Cool looking model fox. I like the idea of simply making the goal for the Betty to get to the launch point alive. A successful launch would be victory. Then you don’t have to worry about fussing around with the Ohka.

There's a video on YouTube somewhere, taken by U.S. fighters flaming Bettys; you can see the Ohkas slung underneath the doomed Bettys.

I can't find it right now, because my workplace blocks YouTube

Here's pic I took in 2013 at the USAAF museum in Dayton.
