You may want to fly MiG-21, then?

Guys, napalm bombs and their effects were already announced 3 years ago by ED when the Hornet was released into EA:

Mk-77 firebomb (visual effect first required, after early access)

So yes, they are planned. It's just a matter of time.

The Phantom can carry 3 different nukes on the inboard pylons and centerline rack. I loaded the B-57 and B-61, the B-43 was a bit before my time.

Napalm coming to WW2 with AN-M76 incendiary bombs, on allied aircrafts as Mosquito FB.IV.

Other weapon has the M69 incendiary bomb used by bombers (We have M57 White Phosforous on DCS World directories).

The problem has no if HB build or not the bomb, missing the core feature about incendiary weapons, and the effects about incendiary bombs, required not only a coder, need a 3D modeler with FumeFx experience to make them (on the ED carrer jobs list).

P47 , A-1, F-9F, F-4U all could carry napalm. First use of napalm? Japan, B-29 bombers. All big towns except of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Invented in 1942, napalm saw combat for the first time in Sicily in August 1943, when American troops incinerated a wheat field believed to shelter Germans. In the Pacific, U.S. soldiers first used napalm on December 15, 1943, in flamethrowers used to burn Japanese defenders out of a cave on Pilelo, a tiny island northeast of New Guinea. 

Air bombardments followed in short order. Airmen mixed napalm powder with various combinations of oil and gasoline, creating firebombs. Standard Oil’s M-69 napalm bombs saw Pacific combat for the first time on February 15, 1944, when the Seventh Air Force attacked the town of Pohnpei, capital of the eponymous Micronesian island. A total of 118 tons of bombs hit the island over the next 11 days. 

 

Napalm has not the only incendiary weapons, has others. In fact incendiary devices was used previously by UK and Axis from WW2. Remember from Spanish Civil War was used incendiary bomb, and on WTO, Roterdam, London, Hamburg, etc on large raids with incendiary bombs by Axis and Allieds

The problem has no a "Napalm Vietnam" effect, has build propper incendiary bombs with your proppers effects.

Yes, we know. Napalm effects has not been implemented yet. We're all waiting for it.
One of these days the forum is gonna run out of the word "has".

Just to be clear, in game...clouds do or do not block IR missiles?

In game they don't. And AI sees through them too. (kinda a big deal for WW2 stuff). Also so do optically guided AAA, as of course any IR manpads. Also targeting lasers go right through them as well. 

IRL of course cloud cover was a major tactical issue. In DCS, well... I guess its not that important.

I do find targeting lasers from AI go through them, but not self lased. Had many bombs go stupid because a cloud got in the way of my self lase.
