==In Team Yankee== [[File:BURN.jpg|300px|left|thumb|If I hear one mention of ovens I swear on ΧΧΧΧ ...]] In Team Yankee, the Skyhawk is a light bomber aircraft dropping a salvo template with AT7 and FP 5+, nearly identical to the [[AV-8 Harrier]]. While it lacks a 3+ call-in, the Skyhawk makes up for it with the ability to drop flaming <s>jelly beans</s> jellified gasoline on the enemy once per battle, but at the cost of 1 point per aircraft. ''Napalm'' is a special rule, showing the IDF's disregard for the Geneva Protocols much like its imperialist masters. It uses the artillery template instead of a salvo, has anti-tank 1 and has a firepower rating of "Automatic" (not 1+ mind you, automatic). Additionally, any unarmoured vehicles and infantry will be forced to reroll successful saves, much like a ''Brutal'' gun. Once hit by napalm, an infantry team only has a 43.7% to pass its save. Throw in a 3+ to hit and that's a 14.8% survival rate. In addition to pinning, [[What|Napalm excels at forcing your enemy to stay in their foxholes]]: the 85.5% survival rate drops to 55.6%. The anti-infantry salvo role might be served by your Cobra's rocket pods, but Napalm is a solution that is mathematically guaranteed to kill at least 40% of an infantry platoon without cover. Against Basij and other opponents counting on a massive blob of troops, your flaming jelly will stop them dead in their tracks and have a chance to start morale checks from the sustained casualties. Unfortunately, this ability comes at a massive price. Skyhawks cost 3 points for two planes, and 6 points for four. Add one point per plane to outfit it with napalm bombs, and the cost jumps to 5 points and 10 points respectively. In effect, you are investing a huge chunk of points into a one-use-only anti-infantry weapon that ignores cover. The Skyhawk is a niche unit that overlaps with Israeli's other [[Merkava|anti]]- [[IDF Infantry Platoon|infantry]] [[M106 Heavy Mortar Carrier|offerings]], but is suited to challenging 2019's infantry-spam meta (although virtually useless in any other role due to its pathetically low firepower).
