Hi

Have some request of some units, that I have seen on Discovery Channel, and thought would be great units. I can not make units :(, so I hope someone can help..

The OKA-11 was a piloted, rocket driven bomb for so called "Kamikaze" attacks on american ships. It was a lightweight one seat rocketplane with a bomb used as a warhead in the frontsection. This aircraft was dropped from a bomber and piloted to the target by use of the rocket motor.

The kaiten was aptly described by Theodore Cook as "not so much a ship as an insertion of a human being into a very large torpedo." The guts of the beast was a standard Type-93 24" torpedo, with the mid-section elongated to create the pilot's space. He sat in a canvas chair practically on the deck of the kaiten, a crude periscope directly in front of him, and the necessary controls close to hand in the cockpit. Access to the kaiten was through hatches leading up from the sub and into the belly of the weapon. The nose assembly was packed with 3000+ pounds of high explosive; the tail section contained the propulsion unit. All in all, it was a crude, nasty way for a man to kill himself.

I know the OKA (Or a smiliar Japanese Suicide Rocket) was done but I'm not sue as to the torpedo sub.
