The idea was to make several of these sneak in and just turn the whole canal into death trap with plague bombs. Luckily they only made a few. No, the I-400 was a project from Yamamoto to attack the West and East Coast as well the capability to reach any point in the world and return without refueling. With his death the project started to be reduced, the attack on the Panama Canal come much later in the war when the Japanese realized that such attack was feasible due to security growing lax,, the idea was to destroy the canal locks as it would render travel impossible for about six months. Unlike other IJN operation this one was actual feasible. Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night was another of the IJN MEGA GALAXY BRAIN ideas that was using airplanes launched from the I-400 to drop plague-infected fleas over San Diego because you know, because their incendiary balloon campaign worked out so well (the British one directed to Germany actually did), the whole thing was nonsese and yes, it would likely kill people but not in the scale that those UNIVERSE SUPER MEGA BRAIN would have hoped because they were looking at their "successes" in China and thinking the same would apply in the US because we all know China and US had exactly the same living conditions in 1940's ... ugh, just checking this out given me a headache over how dumb those people were.

Batman...) here. On that page are some more noteworthy links with such promising titles as Anti-tank Dog... Exploding Rat... Olga of Kiev... Project Pigeon... And catapulting the corpses of plague victims in besieged cities, or just rotting corpse parts, in the hope to hit some wells, was used in the medieval times, as was using burning animals...

Never mind the fact that killing DD's and cruisers tends to win games as it blinds bbs and takes away support. People just want to damage farm so yeah BBs already have enough predators to deal with. Then why does everyone and their mother shoot at my destroyer every time I am spotted? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems war leads to a lot of wacky ideas... The problem comes down to the notion strategic bombing would end wars ... except it didnt, ever. Plague outbursts in a city in the US would just lead to quarantine it, not US surrender just like the "fire bats" would not made Japan surrender because its not as if the USAF wasnt firebombing then for a year now, the nuke worked simply because Japan was already in the verse of surrendering and there was no way to stop it if the USAF was using entire squadrons to drop then ... all it needed was one plane to drop one, didnt even needed to be right on target and that was enough to annihilate their target and even that needs to actually be proven in the field since it took two for Japan to surrender when they were already in a position of offering surrender. Besides I think I did say the British did employed fire balloons (Operation Outward) with success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
