"Does it seem odd that the pilot would have armor underneath his bellybutton given his mission?"
Good ol' japan thought processing.
Its a good thing they didnt know what napalm was,imagine all the planes loaded up with 50 gallons more napalm in place of fule storage areas,napalm wing fule tanks,napalm drop tanks...
That would have left more of a mark,for sure. as fires hard enough to put out,imagine a napalm FULED fire on the deck of a carrier....blub blub blub....
We should have napalm load outs,or at least make it so full drop tanks make a fire effect,think of it like a bomb that would "slide" along the ground,laying a fire trail from it like the aircraft now do.
:Code wise:,it would be a freefall bomb,but once it hit the ground it would "stick" then roll along the ground constantly exsplodeing every 0.5 seconds to simulate "burning" untill the internal timer runs out,then it would stop and reset "go away"
so the effect would be a bomb droping,then watching napalm run along the ground,then burn out. napalm would burn a bit longer,fule would probably just blow up,and spread out a weee bit.
ever shoot a 5 gallon metal gas tank with a .45? it blows up, REAL good..and burns for a while,cant imagine HIGHER grade plane fule,blowing up once DROPED from alt,and with speed..sheesh..
That way some planes could have pure napalm bombs,and other nations could "simulate" that same distructive power in the form of a drop tank bomb. "shrugs"
That way people couldnt/wouldnt whine because there plane/nation cant have that same distructive power.
It would have looked way lame with the old fire effects,but with a little more black smoke, the default plane flame we now have, would be great for a napalm effect. or a fule tank hiting the ground effect.
