Combat Usage

Flamethrower operators specialize in suppressing fortified positions and clearing defensive structures. Their flame jet deals damage to infantry groups in a cone-shaped sector, making them essential for assaulting fortified points

Strengths

• Infantry in buildings
• Entrenched enemies
• Defensive structures

Weaknesses

The unit has several significant disadvantages:

• Low movement speed
• Limited range
• Long reload time
• Vulnerability to mechanized units
• Ineffectiveness against light armor
• Enemy’s ability to evade attacks by moving quickly

Update History
