}}'''Polania Flamethrower''' — specialized anti-infantry units of the [[Polania Republic|Republic of Polania]], designed to eliminate enemy [[infantry]] hiding in fortifications or buildings. Their main weapon is a flamethrower that creates a flame cone, ignoring cover and dealing significant damage to [[structures]]. Introduced into the army arsenal as highly specialized units requiring tactical support.

== Appearance and Equipment ==
Flamethrower units wear standard [[Infantry/Polanian Rifleman|Polanian rifleman]] uniforms, supplemented with fire protection elements:
* Dense fire-resistant apron with reinforced left sleeve.
* Heavy leather gloves.
* Gas mask to prevent inhalation of smoke and fuel vapors.

Their weaponry includes a compact flamethrower with a large fuel tank mounted on the back. The weapon design is minimalist, ensuring mobility despite the weight of the equipment.

== Tactical Role ==
=== Capabilities ===
* '''Breaching Defenses:''' Primary task is to eliminate enemy infantry in trenches, bunkers, or buildings. The flamethrower ignores cover protection, dealing direct damage.
* '''Structure Damage:''' Highly effective against buildings, including fortified structures.
* '''Area Effect:''' Flame cone affects multiple targets simultaneously, useful against clustered units.

'''Advantages'''
* Massive damage to buildings.
* Flamethrower ignores cover and building protection.
* Flame cone damages groups of infantry.

=== Limitations ===
* '''Vulnerability in Close Combat:''' Low movement speed and long reload time make flamethrower units easy targets for [[Infantry/Rusviet Machine Gunner|machine gunners]], [[mechs]] (such as [[Sd. KS 49 Grimbart|Sd. KS 49 "Grimbart"]]), and mobile units.
* '''Support Dependency:''' Requires cover from vehicles or infantry due to short attack range (up to 25 meters).
* '''Ineffectiveness Against Armor:''' Useless against exoskeletons, light armored vehicles, and air targets.

'''Disadvantages'''
* Cannot be trained in Polania; can only be armed from weapon crates or field kits.
* Useless against even lightly armored units like [[exoskeletons]] and [[mechs]].
* Deals damage over time, and the flame cone is fixed in place: fast units can avoid damage by moving quickly.
* Short range and relatively long reload time.
* Slower than standard infantry.
* Vulnerable to machine guns and anti-infantry units.

== Interesting Facts ==
* Unit motto: "Does your butt feel hot?" (Pol.: "Co, dupa się pali?") — a reference to their tactic of burning enemy positions.
* Flamethrower units are available only at the second level of Barracks technological development (T2).
* In early game versions, their fire dealt damage even through walls, but the mechanic was later adjusted.

== Change History ==
* '''2025 Update:''' Flamethrower units removed from the list of trainable units for Polania and Saxony. Training available only in Rusviet barracks.
* '''Weapon via Equipment:''' Players can equip infantry with flamethrowers by picking them up from dead enemies or finding them in weapon crates.
