B29 needs its napalm

Historically, the B29 could carry 184 AN/M47 napalm canisters. It not being able to ingame is completely ahistorical and I thought the game was meant to be historically accurate for the vehicles.

Isn’t Napalm kinda OP against bases, if so it’s probably a balancing decision. Also War Thunder does many things for balancing sake or can’t because of the limits of Dagor, like how the BMPT doesn’t have APFSDS or the Merkavas having the LAHAT

tu4 china gets 40 and I see no complaints

40≠184

184 31.12kg bombs<40 250kg bombs

it would take 32 b29 napalm to do the equivalent of 4 tu4 napalm

Gaijins new infantry mode vs 184 napalm bombs… who would win?

the infantryman with a rocket launcher

this is 1000% for base bombing lol

Napalm really needs an extreme nerf against bases

No means no. If you want it,
France MBTs get SHARD
German 2A7 and 2A6 get DM73
BMPT gets APFSDS
BMD4M2 /BMD4M gets APSFDS
Leopard 2A4M getting DM33/DM43
Abrams getting DU armour
XM1 (GM) gets composite armor array in the hull front
Challenger 3 gets spall liner in turret
PBJ-1 Mitchell, TBF Avenger, F4U Corsair, SB2C Helldiver, historically carried Tiny Tim rockets, missing in-game
GAU-8 Avenger had its penetration value repeatedly reduced over patches because it was “too powerful” against GRB
.50 cal MGs gets better penetration (like it was before all the patches)
20mm Vulcan-armed SPAA penetration increased to a historical 60mm+
T-10M reportedly missing ~80mm of penetration on its APHEBC vs historically
…
Im tired of researching. You get the point, balance matters a lot.

I’m asking b29 gets a 5.7t payload that requires 32 of its napalm to do equivalent to 4 250-2s, you are asking russia gets more bias for fairness. I understand the non russia stuff but russia doesnt need more strength

what is with people acting like being able to bomb bases is a game breaking mechanic? in a slow asf bomber? it will barely get two bases if you are lucky before dying or the match ends

yeah, I’m just asking the b29 gets its napalm where 32 an/m47s would be equal to 4 250-2s give or take 4 an/m47s

Is there a report about it being missing? Incendiary bombs where added years after the B-29, it could well just be an over sight that they haven’t gone back and added them, it might also just be that that particular bomb hasn’t been modeled and added yet and the B-29 will get it when it is.

how do I report it?

You will need sources for the B-29 carrying them of course

I dont have any sources :p

Well, that will be an issue, but maybe some one on here can find and share something, it’s rather impressive the obscure documents people dig up.

Youve only got to a M60A1 Predator, youre below level 50, youve only went through the USA tree without trying other nations (Scimitar MK2 does not count as that is arguably the WORST event vehicle… ever.) I have tried the Abrams, Leopard, T90, T80 and soon ill have the strv 122B. And i must say, russia is actually disadvantaged but you all belive in this bias.

YOU ARE ALL BLINDED

You believe the lower crew count
Lower gun depression,
Slower gun depression/elevation
Slower traverse
Slower reverse
Slower reloads
Worse penetration (at 12.7)
WORST AMMO PLACEMENT OF ALL TIME
No/weak thermals until 11.0

Is actually what makes USSR the best and most OP nation in game. It is not. There is no bias. My Abrams has a MASSIVELY better WR and imo, it has better survivability.

Me leopard is along side the winrate of my T90M

Balance how?
