Flame Thrower

"Let's roast some troopers!"

Description
Enemy Flame Throwers wear heat resistent glasses, an olive green suit with a helmet and a couple of red containers full of a flammable liquid. Ally Flame Throwers wear practically the same, expect their uniform is black.

Receiveing intensive training on manipulating explosives and flammable materials, the flame thrower is a master at playing with fire! One of the worst enemies you might face, your first encounter will be in Mission 7, Operation 1. Until advanced stages, the flame thrower will only be seen in strategic positions, he has a good health but can't shoot that far, he will set you on fire if you get too close, and make big damage to your troopers so make sure you take him out first!

Flamethrowers have less health than it actually seems. When at very low health, they simply stop attacking and will run around for a few seconds before exploding. However, more command points are given if he is shot to death instead of killing himself in an explosion.

Flamethrowers are devastating at close range, but their effectiveness quickly diminish within distance. Also, any infantry recently damaged by the flames will continue to burn for two seconds should they exit the flamethrower's range.
