NAPALM!!!:t  i think this should have a place in AH 2. it was used in iwojima and okinawa. it could be made so buildings hit with it are on fire for 15 seconds before exploding. it could also be good against troops. so what do other people think?

napalm is an anti personnel weapon, meant to eliminate foot soldiers in hidden/entrenched places.

AH has no hidden places, it has no entrenched places and it has no foot soldiers. Napalm = nonentity.

Well, Mossies did use it against parked aircraft and airfield buildings, but with no parked aircraft ...
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Napalm is also useful against GV's. We do have ground troops. They are dropped on towns, and they are housed in huts on bases. Hell, model the effects of fire on a carrier. A lot of ships burned, and the fire caused explosions that sank them. Napalm on wood flight decks has possibilities.

well if you can get napalm to the troops being dropped on a town, you can just as easily strafe them :P

napalm+tank=pressure cooker. it also melts tracks and overheats engines like a giant molotov coctail.

case in point, brazen bull, a hollow metal bull that was placed over a fire and a man put inside it to be executed.

Didn't the B-29's drop napalm down on the Japanese houses and towns? Wooden houses + napalm = no more town. Good for anti tank too.

the b-29's didn't drop napalm on japan. what they dropped was like a cluster bomb that had a bunch of incenderary sticks in them. can't remeber what they were called though.

i think they were M-79 or M-17 incindiary bombs. but actually those were filled with napalm, so yes, B-29s did drop napalm.

Yup. White Phosphorous incendiaries. Dont even need a fuse for it either, the impact spreads the WP from the ruptured case, which ignites on contact with air. Or you give it an air-bursting fuse and spread the WP over a small area.

Imagine the fun of turning the mass of M16s and Ostwinds that up on capped bases when someone doesn't kill the VH so the remaining defenders can hide in an umbrella of uber-ack into a raging inferno of fiery death. WOO!
