it is useless in GRB. Air RB is another can of worm
AFAIK, Tonka don’t have the ability to use a napalm bomb. (I might be wrong.)
And RAF never kept napalm bombs in their arsenal after the 1950s, even though they kept the rights to use and the capability to make napalm. :/

oh yeah I just give it a read. used napalm in malaya, doesn’t like it’s performance and they straight up abandoned it
It’s been downhill since they nerfed rockets. I’m so glad I did Sweden when I did, because the grind for it was dreadful enough as it is, the rockets were the only thing keeping it from being any worse.
(not the same people)
F-104C bombing at 9.3 is easy

I am talking about the community in general. I wish Gaijin would make rockets OP again just out of pure spite.
Doesn’t work like that
It does. People cried for a rocket nerd and a napalm buff. When it finally came, majority of the people I saw were praising the end of “rocket exploiters” and napalm finally being useful. Now a year later, napalm needs a nerf because people in a slower aircraft are complaining about not being able to hit bases as fast as… faster aircrafts. I mean, I can complain about the Wyvern and the XP for America being too fast, especially since all we get are slow bombers at the 4.0-6.0 BRs.
No…? Very few ppl ever wanted napalm to be better except for usage in GRB against tanks and stuff like that. They also weren’t the same ppl asking for a rocket nerf.
I was on Facebook, not the forums, so that might also be why
That is a key issue! And the difference is huge.
Exactly, Realistic bombing gives you more rewards than anything else. Hell, Sin gives you like 11k in a premium every 15 minutes. I could make more by doing that in Realistic.
Japan - French -Swedish -British players don’t care about this thread any way Gaijin realism they not need Napalm lets Mig-23 ML bomb
Japan don’t need it. They have the rocket bombing strat
French have the F-104G (the Mirage F1C is so bad at bombing that I prefer suffering with the 530f)
Sweden yeah, other than A32A which is a tier 6 and can’t research top tier
British have the mig 21 bison with napalms (hidden option)
The damage and burn overtime should be reduced drastically, removing it shouldn’t be an option because it still plays a role in the game regardless.
It’s just extremely demoralizing to try to race in your bomber and not even be able to do what your plane was designed to do.

Yeah, I am well aware that napalm itself shouldn’t removed from fighter.
Just whined because of personal hatred deep inside my heart. :/
Tonka GR.1 was my first paid talisman, but I never played it nowadays because MiG-23ML does better in both A2A and A2G base bombing races.
Really, the current efficiency of napalm bombs is extremely demoralizing.
Dedicated strike aircraft or bombers like Tonka can do nothing but be a dead weight on the match in ARB if we only consider capability and BR.
Didn’t most napalm bombs used to have far more drag than they currently do? Maybe I am miss remembering but I recall it used to be better to carry regular bombs, even though it took more to kill a base, as they would slow the aircraft far less than napalm canisters.
I dont know, but the main change and the reason it became so popular was a massive buff to the base damage it did. I cant find the changelog for it though
Edit found it
As I remember when it was added it took 4 250kg canisters to kill a base to kill a base and they slowed the plane by something like twice what a regular bomb would.
Looking in game I think it’s just the original MK77 canisters, 5 of them have +0.35000 kgf parasite drag and slow an A-4 by 190kph, while 5 1000lb’ers have +0.21000 kgf drag and only slow on A-4 by 84kph so it’s likely its just the newer more streamlined canisters that are doing it.
