Why am I seeing a FlameThrower in a BR1 battles?

I’ve seen Flamethrowers in 3 or 4 battles while I’m only equipped with BR1 weapons/vehicles, the MM Start button said BR of the battle I-II. How is this possible? I din’t note the first 3 time this happened, but I’ve checked the replay this time. I’m a new player, I have definately NOT equipped any BR2 stuff.

I can’t work out how to link a replay, but you can look it up:

Date: 25-5-2025, time 18:22:22, Mayansera Conquest Burma Campaign, I’m playing Japan, player with the flame thrower was ladardy1102 at min 09:48

the date was 26-5-27 and time 19:22:22, but oddly in the replay list in game after I downloded it, it says 25-6-2025 18:22:22, now I get the time difference thing, but not the date difference thing!

Bot squads have access to the Flamethrower squad in their rosters. That’s why they can be common there, along some BR3 premium squads like the MG-13 drum mag and the Lewis gun for example.

Thanks for the explanation guys.

As if facing downtiered maxed out seal clubbing squads spawncamping the greyzone in BR1 wasn’t bad enough, they have to arm bots with BR3 too :crazy_face:
