Napalm for the Allies is "bad form" in my opinion, but then again you can't have the A-10 in C&C without napalm! A tough choice!

Napalm isn't much of a secret know-how. The Soviets have more of it in use since they have less qualms about its uses and long term effects. This is why its also pretty much why its on the T3 Aircraft as well.

Yes, not secret, but it just seems like burning people to death isn't something the "good guys" would do (although, of course, RL history proved that wrong)... ants maybe, but not people.

I approve that you explicitely made it so the napalm is never used vs infantry.

The USA and NATO are the not the 'good guys'

In RL maybe not, but in RA2, they're not the kind of people who drop napalm on folks, burning people has always been the Soviet "hat".

I think it's far more interesting than the RA2 Allies where they were always so boring and pristine.

The voxel looks tiny though.

No they just create natural disasters with artificial storms & threaten the fabric of the universe with chrono vortexes. In comparison Soviet napalm & nukes seem rather tame...

Good point!
Okay, well maybe it's less a matter of morals, but just of "style".
And I think chrono weapons are like, the epitome of "twisted morality", since you do not even actually die, in a sense! They're utterly destructive non-lethal weapons.

Also a German Mad Scientist helped give them a Death Ray that practically burns you alive.

And the napalm explosions will still hit nearby infantry. (I.E: tesla troopers near a Tesla Coil) basically any 1x1 structure with infantry hugging it will get burned. Literally

Different question, will it use Harrier-like missiles? Or Banshee? Or do you have something unique in mind?

Just normal delivery aka Harrier Style. The main gimmick with it since its Napalm it deals area damage and also leaves Flames.

Ah, your approach is way different than mine. #Tongue

Mine is more of banshee-style approach with it firing laser chain-gun first then dropping the da bombs when it approaches to the structures or armor in the bombing range.

I believe gattling does not work for aircraft, sadly.
I also have a Warthog with gun/missile combo, but mine is radial-firing the missiles on strafing to get the Gen/ZH effect.
I'm debating now wether I should make them napalm missiles though.

I know. That is why I didn't used gattling logic on jets. Only time it will switch weapon is when it is approaching in the range for the bombs to be use.

I might revisit the Voxels for Aircrafts in the future though. ATM they're chibi because they're sticking to the Vanilla Airpad. I might just increase they're size just big enough that they're the same size as the Ground Vehicles for the Selectable Ones As right now they're smaller than the infantry and the only big one is the Spy Plane.
