Wow, i havent looked at this thread in days.


ANyways i wanted to add that flame tanks are OP because i played a game where 3 to55 managed to kill 3 of my leo 1a5s, 30 rifleman, a leo 2a1, and m113s. THe leo 2 wasent even in a forest it just got raped in the e open. EVerything else was in the forest when the magical flame fires through the whole forest and kills my tanks and in in seconds.

it really pisses me off how all my infantry panicks to and cant fire their laws even when they are RIGHT BESIDE the enemy flame tanks.

firing through, no matter OVER, forests is stupid.



Flameunits can only fire in one direction at once, have you heard of flanking and attack from more than one angle?
If you brought tanks into the range of a flame unit it's your own fault for losing them.

In terms of game balance I dont think they are too long ranged, but cosmetically since you can get them to fire the distance of a small town it looks a bit rediculous!

IMHO the range is not the problem but the area covered by flame/fire/ Its ridiculous .... if u compare it to artillery blasts ...

Agreed, The range might need to be reduced a little just for realism's sake. But the major problem is when they can fire over trees and your tanks or inf cant shoot back. THAT is the big problem.

And those people who say "just flank it". Any good player will surround their flame tank with cheap infantry, and when they get engaged, he will just shoot the flames over the trees on to your units.

There should be no need for flame tanks in this game if they have a decent suppression system. What a joke it is to see inf rushing tanks in open terrain with grenades.


Agreed. Sad to see how you can claim making a realistic wargame when you don't even include any real suppression. Yes there is morale but clearly it's not working as either you route too fast or too slow as in the case with infantry charging an tank on open ground.

Also lol at people defending the range of flame tanks but I guess some people find it reasonable that a flamer shoots more than half the distance of a tank cannon. Also why should a flamer shoot further than a LAW? Thats highly unrealistic and makes flame tanks rape infantry even outside of forests

It's the flame units that are really helping to keep the cheap unit rushes at bay for me, so I'm quite happy as they are. :D

Yep agreed. The only ones defending the flame tanks is the ones who like to use them in a way they are not supposed to be used
