I suggest to add an unique weapon for flamethrowers for the landmine slot - FOG-1 (1941) / FOG-2 (1943) ( static defensive flamethrower, flame fougasse or flame mine). Represents a tank(cylinder 70*30 cm. weight ~30kg). To be used it should be buried in the ground and detonated remotely or by the tension fuse, emitting a stream of flame throw up to 100m or wider cone up to 25m using a 5 nozzle head.
It was copied by the Germans under the designation Abwehrflammenwerfer 42 (A.Fm.W. 42).
About the pros, cons, and gaming conventions:
- the weight and dimensions are certainly a bit much to hide “in your pocket”
- the throw distance of the flamethrower should be less (~30 and 7m respectively)
- A unique weapon for flamethrowers, making them even more useful and competitive
- It’s possible to install it only in the ground, but not in the asphalt, stone, etc. Luckily, various surface properties and the possibility of terraforming them are already at least partially implemented for shovels
- speed of planting, obviously, is not “just drop it and go”, about 20 seconds at least - so you have to plan your defence
