December 19th News Update!

[yuiop]

Looks great. Which maps will have the flame tank?

[schoolkid]

If the screenshot above is from BG42, then I must say their Sherman looks a lot nicer. However, FH flames totally pawn BG42's (judging from the screenshots above and on main page.)

The best flame effects in the BF scene Really nice work
more tanks with flamethrower in this release?

[Zehnder]

[terminal-strike]

man you got some balls brining that riff-raff into a FH news post lol. Aaanyway its good to keep up the competetion like that, especially with FH one-uping them on the efffects.

[FactionRecon]

Man BG's flames are a joke compared to FH's looks like. Well, better for us FH'ers.

[Krazy Kommando]

nice update again guys! cant wait to burn some japs with the flamer sherman

[Lt Luger]

Yes the flame thrower Sherman is cool but the Japanese weapons already are inferior to Allies and now its going to get worse. How about some Japanese kick-ass weapons to counter the flame thrower Shermans. We dont' want all players trying to play on the Allied team because they want the better weapons.

[McGibs]

Japanese have some tricks up thier sleaves
Iwo Jima is a very balanced map, even with the POA.

For .66, the sherman POA will be the only flame unit, and it will only be found on iwo jima. In the future we are planning to include many more flame tanks, such as the Flammenpanzer III, Churchill Crocodile, and T34-flamethrower (name eludes me).

Hand held flamethrower kits are also in the works for Germans, Americans, British, and Russians. Of coarse, these will be in limited supply, as they are very deadly weapons. They arnt your standard pussy 5 meter range flamethrowers. Though they only have 10 seconds of fuel, so spray wisely (tanks have a few minuets, and much longer range)


This is a sherman POA. As you can see, there is almost no different between it and a regualr sherman (only noteable thing is the seam on the cannon that shows there is a flame nozzel inside)
Flamethrowers were usually mounted on either:
Main gun
Co-axial MG port
Hull MG port
