A lot of people found napalm bomb meme-y but I actually used it
a few times in some really cool clutch plays. YMMV of course...

I personally do enjoy Napalm Bomb and would like to see it back.
It's rather impractical of course, given the huge gas cost, but
it was quite funny and even situationally useful in some
defenses.

I have to disagree here^^. Napalm bomb was a cheese / bunker
tool that was only accessible due to chemical plant. Counterplay
to 3 napalm bomb firebats running towards hive? Kill them before
they get too close. Hard to do against old firebat, potentially
(likely) even harder with the new firebat. I actually don't
think I ever had issues with this, however my playstyle in 3.x
was hard counter firebat / bunker and just die if terrans
actually know how to T1, so that probably spared me most firebat
deaths x)

That's true, I forgot that currently Firebats are incredibly
tanky. Then again, 400 gas is very hard to come by as Terran
nowadays, and such an investment can afford to be very powerful.
I'm undecided on the matter then, but you can't deny that "Big
Explosion Go Boom" is pretty fun.

Never used it. Saw aVehicle use it to clear torras, but when I
troll-bunkered I just used mass italis + mass elite and it was
relatively easy to get numbers which can clear everything zerg
can throw at you including mass torra and omegalisk.
400 gas for one bomb, you need 2 to kill non-transfused spines
and 3 to kill transfused spines + hive... seems like something
that is either super all-in and will likely fail due to terran
needing way too much time to set it up (1.2k gas lol) or it's
something you do when you are ahead and use it to style on zerg,
and there is so many ways to style on a defeated zerg...
Let's assume brute force marine pushing (maybe with firebat in
front line) / ion are the "standard" ways to finish a game, then
you will have these options (and probably some more that I'm not
thinking of right now) to style on zerg:
-Tank
-Italis
-Mass shock
-Stasis + reapers
-Clear entire low ground and watch them ragequit
-Elites with advanced scopes + armory outranging spines
Don't really think 3x firebat with 3x napalm bomb necessarrily
needs to be on this list x)
If you want big explosions I suggest playing zerg and stacking
infused roaches. Makes marine armies explode and turn into roach
ball really nicely :D
Can feel really rewarding as it's hard to pull off in the games
where terrans actually have some skill.
