This battle was during the 2016 "Japanese Threat" event, featuring Allies versus Axis. During the later period of World War II, German industry was suffering due to allied strategic bombing. Messerschmitt developed the Me 163 Komet as a fast interceptor designed to attack bomber aircraft. It was a rocket powered aircraft with short flight time and limited range, but was primarily designed to take off and climb to extreme altitudes very quickly. Meanwhile in Japan, after the United States introduced the high altitude bomber, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, it was clear that a counter measure was needed. Japan soon acquired a license to manufacture the Me 163 Komet interceptor. Originally the transaction included the blueprints for the aircraft as well as the HWK 509A rocket engine, one fully assembled aircraft, three fully assembled engines, technical manuals, tooling and some component parts. Also Japanese engineers were allowed to observe the manufacturing of the Me 163 and was given flight training and operation procedures. However, not all the parts reached Japan. The disassembled aircraft and one engine was lost when the submarine RO-501 was sunk by the squadron attacked to the USS Bogue aircraft carrier. Later the plans and engines were destroyed when the USS Sawfish sunk the I-29. Despite this setback, Japanese engineers continued plans by using the technical manuals received from Germany. The project was a joint venture between the Japanese Army and Navy. The navy version was called the "J8M1 Shusui" while the army version was called "Ki-200". The primary differences between the two was the armament. Several prototypes were build and test flights were conducted. For training several gliders based on the airframe were built, called the "Yokosuka MXY8 Akigusa" (navy) or "Yokoi Ku-13" (army). By August 1945 the design was finalized and ready for production, but in the same month the war had ended and all development was stopped.
