We are very happy to see the new additions to the game and terrain. It would have really been nice to have the flame thrower option added on it's ordinance roster. I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth and just say thank you and H.T.C. .

Firefly didn't ever have a flame thrower.

Wouldn't know what to use the flamethrowers for (except for troops, which you rarely see)

I think he's talking about when they would open the breach, shove a flamethrower in there, and fire it. Flame would come out the main gun barrel.

Wasn't part of the tank. Definitely wasn't standard.

Never heard of that before. Who in their right mind would use a portable flame thrower inside a closed turret?? I know I wouldn't even if I had the thing stuck in the breach. Too many BAD things can happen there.

It's basically just a pipe, when you open the breach. It worked, containing the napalm/accelerant until it exited the barrel and hits its target.

Oh I believe it worked and I'm sure people did it, but there is NO WAY you'd see me trying it. Screw that!!!!!! I'm not that crazy.

Wow, now you're not only gonna try to shoot my plane buzzing you with your Main Turret, you're gonna try to use a flamethrower?

Although most origional WWII documents were lost. This data came through AAolds Grandfather who was an actual WWII tanker.How much more precise can you get as far as source of data.Although I understand your inquiries on whee you would mount it and all the other arguments.I'm sure AAolds will dig deeper into this topic .These threads are meant to promote intellectual debates and conversations.Some seem to feel better by trying to discredit or insult others but we do not get our kicks that way. Trying to make someone else feel or sound bad is not what makes us feel better.It only shows one's own true ignorance.For all who gave intelligent replies and raised genuine concerns ,thank you and
