Flamethrowers, a new tank deterrent.

[Cranialwizard]

It's weaknesses are:

Stationary
AND
It's own defense would have to be bad, much like a HalfTrack armor type?

Let's face it, punch a few hundred rounds of MG fire into it and the bullets will ignite it, and once that happens, it ALL dies.

And for tanks? Artillerary? If tanks can get close enough, they can use the *Run in a circle until you kill the enemy* tactic. :/

[Tarkka-ampuja]

That's luck of course not skill. What the OP suggests is if a tank trys to "run in circles" it would be destroyed by the flamethrower. It's completely ridiculous, you can't put that in a game and call it stable.

  hear that precious, they don't want you in their game, no, no precious, nasty mens don't like the fire machine.

Alot of you are comparing the fire effects from Blitzkrieg and vCoH, but this isn't what you are supposed to be thinking about. So here's something:

Instead of changing the effects or damage of fire, simply create a specialist squad with added abilities related to the soldier that controls the flamethrower.
Blitzkrieg Mod's "Churchill Crocodile" has an ability that tells it to "aim" the flamethrower into a tank's exhaust, in my mind, adding this kind of ability to a specialist flamethrower squad would make that squad unique to rest of the game, and it would not change the original gameplay and/or physics of the flamethrower. It would be an ability, not a feature

[Versedhorison]

As soon as you add a unit that can equally deal with any other unit you have pretty much broken the game.

you did suggest a specialist flamethrower squad, but my idea is a bit different nonetheless

Giving that ability(fire the flamethrower into a tank's exhaust) for some ammo to damage the motor looks cool . Like firing a panzerfaust . It doesn't need be a flamer specialist/ace, it could be an upgraded engineer.

[Akalonor]

Yet you expect an engineer to approach an active/ pinned tank?

How your "specialist flamethrower squad" will do that? It'll need to come close...

[Akalonor]

The specialist squad wouldn't have miniscule health 
Anyway, made a poll about it check it out in Ostheer suggestions.
Or was it general suggestions?
