That thread was followed by this this second thread. As you will see if you read them, there is a strong difference of opinion among even reasonably experienced players regarding the effectiveness of flamethrowers. The differences led to this challenge match between Broken and JasonC to test flamethrower effectiveness. Unfortunately, the match was never completed to my knowledge. Hint, hint.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 luck, is a nice mixture, had one flame guy in the woods by himself, in a foxhole. He held off a platoon and a half of men for 4 or 5 turns and created panic and death at all corners. His reward was death but he shall be remembered always in my pixal army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And JC curiously disappeared a few turns into that game :confused: Anyway, not trying to be a prick we've just gone through Flamethrowers and how to use them well so many times it's hard to contribute anything fresh to the topic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code13 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Flamethrowers have always brought me varied reslts, I think the AI is far too quick to spot them and turn ever single gun that can see them onto the team, which in itself can be useful... But I have got the best effects when combining them with a good armoured troop transporter like a bren carrier or kangeroo. Good for bunkers in attack and tanks in ambush, when they can hit that is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Vehicle mounted FTs can be a cast iron B!@#h. The foot versions are very specialized. I just had a lot of success with them in some urban fighting. Not much of the town left though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
