I need a visual design for a Japanese type minisub fitted with castaway ramjets and wings and reinforced structurally to survive being jettisoned into the ocean at low level.
The object being a long range flight of shore based squadrons of these submarines to launch their 2 torpedoes at an approaching fleet without the agony of piloting slowly through Anti-aircraft fire to launch a single torpedo. This weapon will represent my Nation's crazy wonder weapon of desperation. So the idea of Recovering the minisubs will be something that is not a priority. |

 just go faster than missiles lol In all honesty, you might want to modify the Kaiten design a little and stick two torpedoes to that. |

Impossible, and actually an operationally useless weapon. Just use Okha and be done with it. --------------------

While its admittedly a bad idea, going full Okha is out of the question. The weapon as a concept works just fine, as the Kaiten and Okha are of similar weight to say the V1.
Its not that far out there to have a nation combine the concepts out of desperation. A plane with a minisub fuselage which is jetisoned at low level to engage shipping. It may require a larger ramjet engine, or two VI engines, But In the realm of crazy WWII concepts this thing isnt that radical. |

Harpoon is an anachronism. This weapon is for WWII era.

Except.... it is impossible. Consider the weight needed, due to the structure you need to have to have the sub part survive crashing into the water. It's just not going to happen. Use Okha. --------------------

A Kaiten isnt much more than a torpedo and they survive the drop very well. I would be more concerned with the pilot remaining conscious.
off the top of my head. chute deployment. Now were in the the territory of splashdown except without the added stresses of coming to a halt on the surface, since the torpedo/minisub would be expected to dive into the water in any case. Im just not sold on the impossibility of this weapon when all the pieces exist and function reliably in the WWII era. Throw in a hydropneumatic recoil devise for the pilot's seat... chutes... weight is not an issue as minisubs are well within the power range of the engines. Im just not being sold on impossible. Not useful or effective in combat I can understand. The weapon fills that role in fact. |
