Are there any benefits for incendiary artillery shells as opposed to explosive artillery shells? When would you favor one over the other.
Are napalm or white phosphorous shells more or less lethal than shells meant to kill by shrapnel and concussive force

> when do you burn shit

Generally, HE is more lethal, but it lacks these utilities. HE fragments and shrapnel will travel father through the air than incendiary substances, and so HE shells have a wider area of effect.
Incendiaries often tiptoe the line between "a-ok butcherin" and "Chemical Weapons"' which is also a consideration.
