I don't know if there has been any discussion about flamethowers of any kind, but what I'd like to see in this game is a flamethrower that could be attached to a tank. It could kill infantry very well, do moderate damage to buildings and minimal damage to vehicles, but would overheat them effectively. It should take a good amount of resources, though, so that it couldn't be used to rush enemy base at the very beginning. Instead, it should be used tactically along with other more powerful weapons. What do you guys think?
