Panther G Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 I just got the game about a week ago, and I was wondering how to get the flamethrower tanks to flamethrow. Whenever I issue a target order, it asks me if I want to use the Main Gun. If I click yes, then It just shoots AP or HE. If I click no it just shoots machine gun. What am I supposed to do?

Mattias Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 PG, Nothing, if the FT is within range it will be used. The range is usually under 100 meters so you might be too far away. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyFire Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 Also, flamethrower tanks seem much more likely to flame if they're stationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flame on the croc and sherman flamer is in lieu of the bow MG so you may have LOS with the main gun but not the bow mg. Drive it a little forward of hull down and give it a try. The range of the flame can be found by selecting the unit and hitting enter to bring up the unit details. If in range and with LOS from the bow the flame will fire if you issue the fire main gun command Happiness is the sound of popping stormtroopers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
