Title. I can get nearly 2 full bases worth of RP with 4 napalm, whereas before the rocket nerf that was only possible with bombs and rockets.
4 napalm loadouts should give half rp/sl per base just like 8 500kg bomb loadouts do over 4.
I get all these changes are to help light vehicles like the original nerf to loadouts in 2019. But now the f5c is arguably one of the best base bombers in the game now. Things swung a bit too hard the other way gaijin.
Also the napalm change made conventional bombs worthless. You still get nerfed base rewards and ground rewards the more you bring.
Before if you brought 8 napalm to kill 2 bases you would get 600 score total.
Now you being 4 napalm and get 2 bases and nearly 1k score.
It should be you bring 2 napalm get 1 base get 600 score or you bring 4 napalm get 300 score per base thats how it should be.
Score rp and sl are all tied together
have a look at the change log ,that was what I read.
I feel like its impossible to explain what gaijin did to bomb loadouts in 2019, no one understands it. Every game i see people bringing more bombs then enough to kill 1 base.
Now with napalm you bypass this 5 year old system to get double rewards you could. Thats also why rockets were nerfed, you could get full rp/sl for 2 bases.
I am sure you will get a better reply than mine soon.The buff for napalm was just something I noticed.
So like here ill use the su25 as an example.
You get 8 pylons it takes 4 500kg bombs to kill 1 base.
So if i load all my pylons with 8 500kg bombs what happens is the moment i spawn in i get half rp/sl score per base. That is how gaijin decided to nerf bombloadouts.
Now if i took 4 500kg and 4 rocket pods i could get almost no nerf to base rp/sl and get 2 bases. This is why rockets where nerfed.
Now after the napalm change this is out the door and i can bring 4 napalm and get full rp/sl per base, because gaijin forgot to nerf loadouts after buffing the strength of napalm.

It depends. I tested it in custom low and mid tier and it did not seem to give an ability to kill extra bases. The napalm does about the same damage as an equivalent bomb, with the extra anxiety that someone could swoop in and “steal your base” while the damage was clocking around. And of course you don’t get any thing for the base tonnage medals with incendiaries.
This also means any jet that doesnt have acess to napalm is at a massive disadvantage in terms of grinding. Since 4x napalm gives 2x the rp/sl that 8x 500kg will. In fact 4x napalm gives more rp than bringing 16 500kg bombs.
Also of course its a t4 modification for russian jets like the mig23 so its absolutely worthless for them.
It was buffed, thats why the rocket spammers are now vietnam enjoyers
