Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka is a Japanese human-guided kamikaze attack aircraft.
Due to huge losses inflicted by the Empire of Japan over the course of Pacific theatre, the Imperial General Headquarters had encourage both the Army and Navy to develop war machines to be used in suicidal attacks. The Ohka was armed with 1,200 kg Ammonal warhead propelled with three solid-fuel rocket motor, and because of its limited endurance it is carried by Mitsubishi G4M2e Model 24 Tei underneath the fuselage. The type was able to sink or damage several escort and transport ships, but unable to change the outcome of the war which leads to Japan's surrender in September 1945.
As the Americans encountered such weapons before the end of the war, they referred to Ohka as Baka which means "idiot" in English due to the type's intended role.
In BattleGroup42, the Ohka had a brief but obscure appearance started in FINAL Release Candidate 1. It is only available carried by G4M2e Model 24 Tei medium bomber and both can only be spawned via the debugger executable or through mapping tools such as Battlecraft 1942 or Editor42. Manning the type is no easy task; the player required to exit the mother ship while in flight, and if successful the player must control the Ohka to the intended target at the risk of inflicting on its own. This, coupled with the lack of suitable map to include both the mother ship and the parasite aircraft leading the removal of both renders in FINAL Release Candidate 3.
