Whats the point of incendiary/napalm bombs?

[Dexta]

Is there a reason to take them over normal ones?

Not really, it just damages open top vehicles and I think it may mark enemies with the hitmarker that drive through it

[j.yellow28]

in air battles they do more damage to base and u get alot more silver lions but less RP from em. Idk if they work in naval, and not that woth in ground

Base damage.

Base damage and against open top vehicles, but generally regular bombs are better in many scenarios.

how many dmg a 500kg flame bomb does vs a 500kg explosive one against a base?

I wouldn't be able to directly quantify it, but the Napalm bomb will do more over time than the direct damage a conventional bomb would apply.

However, you frankly get more points for using conventional bombs vs Napalm because it requires more hits vs. the Napalm doesn't give you consistent damage ticks.

I hope this is something that changes in the future, but Napalm is just kinda not fundamentally preferred to use in any meaningful way.

Killing someone with a flame bomb is just that extra flex over them.
