…just something I came across.
Would be a great and very unique event unit for axis BR4/5:
Finnish Suomi KP-31 with combined flamethrower! This unit could combine TWO soldiers with this setup, two engineers and one AT soldier (total of five soldiers because of balance, more with the flamethrower setup would be an overkill).
Maybe some people know more about this hell of a (combined) madness? It looks FUN!
Can the suomi fire at the same time as the flamethrower?
Wasnt this post war weapon mod? Well whatever we already have obrez and m1d garand
I guess not. Maybe the flamethrower will be activated by the fire mode switch?
But let’s just think a second about that both systems could work combined…
No idea, I just came across this picture. Maybe some other people know more?
It really must be TT since there is no problem with Historical Accuracy mate
1944…near the end of WW2.
YEAH BABY!
@WalterSpeering
It was during the war. The flamethrower itself was being trialed in late 1944 before the continuation war ended, so it was cancelled. It was purpose designed to be attached to the KP-31(the logic was that would mean soldiers with flamethowers didn’t have to rely as much on others at longer ranges.) This source meantions it was combat tested in August of 1944, but I’ll leave how reliable the claim is up to you.
yeah hope its BR III cuz the Majority of Finish equipment is BR III
This weapon gets suggested very often, I imagine it will get added even if there isn’t a ton of reliable information on it. I mean, its so cool, how could they not add it.
Too low, should be BR4 or rather BR5.
To be honest I’d be daring and say that it should be a squad with 4 troops with the flamethrower, but it should have the 100 round magazine of the Italian para flamethrower.
I’d imagine the “best” way of doing it would make the fire selector switch between the two
Yeah sadly i will have to play BR V with it but there is premium squad and PZ IV is not that bad at BR V xD
The regular drum kp-31 is br 5, this variant is that gun with an added flamethrower. I don’t know how it could be justified lower than br 5 unless there is a big sprint reduction and I guess you lose your backpack slot.
Good suggestion, maybe rather 150 because of the bigger setup?
The more the merrier
Yeah there is no reason to be BR III its too OP 
will be nice combination with Molotov :
Technically yes iirc. The flamethrower was simply attached to the barrel, so technically you could fire both at the same time but since it had its own ignition process/trigger you could only practically fire one at a time.
