Battlefront.com Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Not quite yet. The Germans had pretty close to none in use for this time period. The Soviets, on the other hand, had TONS of them. As in hundreds. However, the Germans do have the SPW 251/16 and of course manpack flamethrowers. You can find the SPW 251/16 in Individual Vehicles or as part in the Armor tab. It's the Regimental Pioneer Company (Armored). Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Germans had flame Hetzers and flame PzIIIs but like a lot of stuff they perversely fielded them after the CMRT initial release's timeframe. When you tally up the stuff still to be included you see the module is gonna rock! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Flammpanzer IIIs were actually built and fielded in 1943, prior to Bagration. Some were even deployed in Operation Zitadelle. But it wasn't a very successful design; only about 100 were built and by mid-1944 probably less than half of these were left. There are records of a few of them being in service until almost the end of the war, though. I don't know of any examples of Flammpanzer IIIs in action in the Bagration timeframe & region. It's possible but unlikely, I think. Flammpanzer Hetzers were even rarer. IIRC, only a couple dozen or so of these conversions were ever done. They first saw service in the Ardennes offensive in December 1944 and I actually don't know if any of them ever made it to the East Front. Maybe very late 1945. Earlier war, there were some Pz I & II flame conversions, but I doubt any of these were still in service by mid-1944. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ts4EVER Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The Hetzer flame conversions were first used in January 1945 during Operation Nordwind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
