I actually use this operation on my buildings. if I'm worried about losing a battleship I'll apply the Banzai Charge on top of it! this increases the health of the ship from 5000 to 7500. if you apply this BEFORE the bombs start falling it means that your ship can withstand multiple attacks and you won't lose any primary health value after the attacks are over.

this operation also works on vehicles and buildings. if I'm worried about my HQ falling to enemy attacks I'll use it the same way you might use Sandbagging.
(3000 = 4500) again, if you time it right, your HQ might not even need to be repaired after the enemy retires.

it also adds health to Japanese vehicles (and man alive do they NEED it!)

while it is preferrable to use this feature on attacks-- I've found it's an invaluable defensive operation as well.

On a defensive position for buildings? I know it can work on men and vehicles but i never heard on buildings. Its good for defensive position on vehicles and men.

I had my HQ under attack-- so I used it on the troops nearby (as they were badly outnumbered). and I noticed it boosted the stats of my HQ as well. another time I used it on troops for an amphibious assault-- and noticed that the battleship had much higher health than normal-- so I'm pretty sure it works on buildings too. it may, in fact, be the most versatile special op in the game: works on infantry, vehicles, and buildings for offensive or defensive operations.

however, after further testing, the buildings still retain damage from the attacks. so it would be good to send in engineers to repair the damage before the Banzai charge wears off...especially if you have reason to believe the building wouldn't survive.

well, I don't rightly know HOW I was able to get Banzai charge to work on buildings-- but I found that it only happened that first time when I was editing a new map and opened the file through the editor. when I tried working with it in the standard mission interface it didn't happen. Banzai still works on battleships and carriers though (vehicles). thought I'd clear that up. still don't know what happened-- to be honest. must have been a glitch that allowed it the one time.

How on buildings? I know it works on battleships and carriers. Probably a glitch most likely, Banzai Charge is mainly used on regiments and vehicles. Maybe show like a video of how that happened?
