Well, yes. The primary purpose of a flamethrower is to burn all the oxygen up, when used around bunkers and tanks.

You do in direct fire mode. Doing TD in the city, in the forests (when the team left you alone) or just because you can. Good Luck hitting in the 60m + range… Since when doing direct fire mode the sights on the Grille are abysmal…

And rockets should have long aim time – and cannot be fired without fully aimed circle (or just cannot be guided) if we want to make them guided, but still you could actually chase enemy scouts with rockets or fire blindly towards enemy base, wait for spot and kill unlucky enemy if they were guided via nose camera. So tank position guidance has to be chosen (and it’s more reallistic when considering wire guided missles). Standing still after missle fired is obvious, any movement would destroy the wires and make it unable to control. Then we have to think about guided rocket stats.
We know about 400 mm penetration. Accuracy is meaningless as we can guide it, so let’s say 0.3 as it is smallest circle possible. Aim time – pretty loooong, 5 secs or so. Damage? AT-3 had 2,5 kg charge, and it’s not THAT big. But for game balance, let’s say 600 dmg would be OK.

Just a question how would this work exactly? Slower version of HE with more pen? Still don’t get how flamethrower tanks would work. You’d have to get point blank range.

Perhaps the rockets will be turret/hull options? At least by looking at some of these tanks it could be a possibility.

I’ve had such idea when there were no tier X TDs – rocket tanks for X tier, equipped for example with Ruhrstahl X-7 on German side.

Guided rocket which was to be guided by player after launch (to be decided – view from rocket nose or from tank position) and for balance and common sense purposes launching tank had to remain stationary while rocket flight.
And rocket launch would give huge camo penalties.

Ob268 has 450mm pen with gold ammo already. It’s just point ‘n’ click.
