It wouldn’t be OP if you were in a building or not in the radius (it is easier as the Japs since the American Drop tank is a long line with short width). Japanese drop tanks have the same radius as the 100-200 lb-pound regular bomb. American one is a straight line, so it should not be hard to avoid.

Yea even tho I don’t know anything about aircraft I do know that those are fuel tank and aren’t bomb
Anyway the most I ever got with it was 2 kill surprisingly
Obviously lol
That is my point; they are not OP unless the necessary precautions are taken.

Ok, I didn’t know that napalm bombs were also called tanks. Confusing.

I could swear the ones we have in game are fuel tanks. I doubble checked and I was right.
It’s beyond me why they called it a fuel tank instead of napalm bomb. It doesn’t even require any changes in the code, just the name.
I don’t comprehend that devs called them “FUEL tanks” instead of “napalm bomb/tank” . The name implies the function.
Yes
And all I see is tank, not fuel tank. It’s a big difference.

None of those documents call them fuel tanks, just tanks (or bombs).
They are repurposed fuel tanks but they are no longer fuel tanks.
A jerry can fulled with explosives is no longer a jerry can, it’s a bomb.
Vodka with a fuze attached is no longer a vodka, it’s a molotov.
A fuel tank with a fuze is no longer a fuel tank, it’s a bomb based on a fuel tank.
It was the addition of a fuselage tank behind the cockpit halfway through production of the P-51B. This additional internal tank increased fuel capacity by 85 gallons: original P-51Bs only had 184 gallons in the wings. The addition increased total fuel to 269 gallons or some 30%. Further adding two 75 gal drop tanks you reached 419 gallons. The later D&H models carried 110 gal drop tanks for 489 gallons.

I don’t see the explodes with napalm part.
Yes. And I know how fuel tanks work. And they work completelly differently.
So using those names interchangeably is wrong, even if one’s design is based on the other.
If I take a fuel tank, add a fuze and replace the fuel with napalm (that can’t be used as fuel) then it doesn’t serve the role of a fuel tank any more, it’s a bomb.
Reminding me of RS2’s napalm
I’m not a war maniac, but I have to admit that napalm in RS2 is really cool.
