Give the US napalm, they used it on Japan during the WWII, burning down about 100.000 people I agree with the napalm idea, but your post makes you look like an asshat. "Burning down about 100,000 people"? Napalm is a perfectly legitimate weapon, and that makes it seem like some horror movie thing. Burning down 100.000 civilians was a thing the US military could live with, the commander in charge of the operation once said something in the lines of: "if the US would have lost the war I would have been put to trail for my actions" But okay, lets stop the debate on asshats and morality

I would like to point out that napalm is only practical in air strikes (it could possibly be fitted to a walking/ superheavy tank). Also it should be affected by wind.

I don't see Napalm being used in this game. Besides, in my opinion, Napalm is more associated with Vietnam. I know it was used in WW2, but it was so purvasive in Vietnam that it will be forever associated with that war.

Ooh, good point. I hadn't really thought of that.

Yes it has been assosiated with Vietnam, but isnt that kind of irrelevant? Just my opinion on the matter.
I like the idea of the use of bombardement support, or scenarios in which you have to fight in bombarded areas. What about napalm shells for mortars or grenade launchers?

Well, it would make it seem less like WWII and more like some modern conflict.

All the weapons I've seen on the figures so far have been based on real weapons (although maybe not the Russian sniper rifle, I don't know) from the war, with the exception of the Russians with AK-47s.

Ak-47 was invented in ww2 by a russian tank commander called kalashnokov.

Yes, Kalasnikov do it in during a war. But in WW I russian army have automat of Feudorov in small quantity. In that time has no real needind in this sort of weapon. Before WW II in USSR also do a research for new models of firearms...I`m forget the thread name
