No, they are not supported, basically because a pilot death means that the kamikaze strike does not damage the target ship. I haven't bothered implementing AI kamikaze attacks, with the sole exception of of the MXY7-11 Ohka flying bomb. These have been used successfully in SEOW before, sinking a couple of small ships from half a dozen attempts. The Ohka is used like a glider, attaching to a late Betty bomber. Give the Betty a GATTACK point at the target and the Ohka will detach at the PREVIOUS waypoint and will fly up to 10 km and will usually attack enemy shipping in the vicinity. Takes a bit of practice, but is indeed spectacular when it works!

Cheers,
