a regular naplam bomb can kill/burn as much as a 1kbomb in town destruction or kill a tank with same destructive force/ not kill it. and if we had gv flamethrowers could burn buildings for (X) time shooting at it and same for other gvs. It really doesn't have to add much more then a little graphics show to the game. thoughts??
IL-2 has these - the F4 Corsair can drop napalm tanks, and the IL-2 itself has a VAP-250 phosphorus dispenser, which would probably be illegal nowadays. But imagine those tank crewmen boiling alive in their tanks! The problem is that incendiary weapons work best against soft targets, such as people and wooden houses and fuel dumps etc, but Aces High tends to have concrete buildings. A standard high explosive bomb would be more effective against that kind of target, so why not take that?
As for tank-mounted flamethrowers, you'd be blown away by the other tanks before you got into range. And you'd be visible from miles away.
IL-2 also has (a) Tiny Tim rockets for the Corsair (b) parafrag bombs for the A-20. The former could easily find a place in Aces High, the latter less so. And armour-piercing cluster bombs.
