Ohka modelling - help needed

[Nemo121]

In AndyMac's Downfall and Buccaneer scenarios ( and hence the EA mini-mod Armaggedon ) Ohkas are modelled as centre-line weapons on most bombers. In one bomber class they are listed as externally carried weapons ( basically underwing mounts a la the early Soviet Mig-19 conversions to ASMs ).

In any case they never seem to be launched and when I access any of the bomber types the Ohka line is greyed out. I have made sure to have an enormous number in the pool ( so it isn't an availability issues ).

In any case I've never seen them launched and never seen the Ohka option anything but greyed out.


Is this WAD or is some sort of error in the database etc stopping it working properly?

Okhas work. It's been proven many times over.

Well Terminus your reply doesn't deal with non-stock games and any special settings which may need to be carried over from stock. I clearly stated this was based on AndyMac's downfall scenario.

So, sadly, your reply doesn't actually settle the issue.

The "Can Build" field needs to be set to "Yes" to allow them to be used.

Right now it isnt, hence the devices have no pool. And thus your planes cant launch them.

That worked perfectly, thanks Juan.

Interestingly enough while torpedo-carrying Japanese bombers swap out their torps for a couple of 250 Kg bombs the Ohka-carriers still carry their Ohkas in the kamikaze role... Makes them quite useful as kamikazes when facing battleline units.
