May be if Yokosuka MXY-7 would be improved with at the level of a manned Fieseler Fi 103, the thing going to be very different for U.S.Navy. This weapon could be launched from about 250 km of the american fleet, at high altitude, gliding to about 500 meters of the sea, and using their pulse reactors only to fly terminal approach. The Bettys then will survive to launch more other day, the surprise of the long distance undetected motherships attack would be a chance for success. The number of hits will be more than with original ones, due to their lower speed and easier manage instead a rocket. This weapon was a desperate try that in fact could not change the course of the war anyway.

This was SS Scientists with Japanise scientists. They were designed and tested in Germany. But assembled on the field or in caves transported by U boats.It was a good design.

The anime "Cockpit" - an awesome compilation of WW2 scenes - has an Ohka episode that was awesome as well, and had very good music. On youtube there is a music video using video from that anime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp2aoqGBjbxsgtk
