Can't direct napalm as US
As the title says, I can't direct the napalm strike as the US but I'm still able to do it as the Aussies with their napalm or Canberra bomber. What's up with that..?

I am unsure if you're intended truly direct the napalm strike, since the direction doesn't really impact the splash radius, I just thought it told you the fly-by direction for the jets. While I guess it would be nice to personally choose what direction it'n not nearly as important as the canberra.

I'm curious as to how to direct the Canberra bombers? I can see the markers on the map designating their path, but don't know how to change it.

Click and drag on the map mark.

That's the reason they said.

Even though it's not a circular radius.

It seems quite important to me, to be able to choose the direction for the napalm. I had to cancel napalm several times as a commander, because the direction the plane took to drop napalm would have killed a whole bunch of friendlies. And it was only because of the direction ...

Big difference between a north-south napalm strike and an east-west strike, but you can only hope the plane will take the one you desire. And that's quite a problem !

I have the same issue can not direct it as U.S. commander.

Direction matters a lot more than people may think. For example, a plane going North is gonna partly hit the south part as well (where friendlies may be encamped). However, if it goes West, it won't be hitting the North and South parts as much. True, the napalm spreads quite a lot, but the effect won't be as devastating if it goes a certain direction.

Wasn't this supposedly added in one of the previous updates?

That's the thing. It wasn't added. You can only direct the canberra strike.

The Aussie commander can direct napalm strikes too.

No he can't. It looks like you can. But the napalm won't go where you tell it to.

I had a Napalm strike directly on Delta on cu chi. Map said east to west and so we got just a tad bit close to the point so we can all make a huge push and I literally SEE the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Phantom GO NORTH TO SOUTH AND BURN HALF THE MEN ON THE PUSH. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pissed me off.

Yeah it's not accurate according to which direction the map is designating. Best stay away from the 'palm heh.

It's accurate except when coming in from direct north-south or east-west. Then it's a lying S.O.B.

It's accurate except when it's not? Is essentially what you just said lol.

The napalm jet does whatever the hell it wants.
