The Flammpanzer 3 was a modification of a Panzer 3, which replaced the primary 50mm cannon with a 14mm flamethrower in the turret, and only had a crew of 3 compared to the normal 5, as the loader and gunner became unnecessary with the flamethrower modification as the commander could operate the flamethrower and coaxial machine gun on his own. The flamethrower has a range of around 60 meters IRL, but will probably be smaller in game for balancing. I think this would be fun to have in BR1, it would have quite thick armor, and have high anti infatry power but absolutely no anti tank power like the flammpanzer 2 and HT 130, so I think it would be fine on BR1.

…huh? The most you can do in flame tanks against other tanks is to try to get close, blind them, flank all the way around them, then pray that you can maybe start an engine fire by shooting at the rear. That’s a crazy amount of work for something that doesn’t have a high chance of success.

I’d disagree, if you’ve ever used the HT 130 or the flammpanzer 2, you’d know how you become useless the second the enemy tank’s gun is on you, and while this tank would have more armor, it still has zero anti tank capability

Id like to see it as a BR2 but with the benefit of a better flamethrower at like 60m.
But yeah, it has no AT ability, Ive tried countless times to kill tanks with flametanks, and just no matter what I do, I just cant seem the set the engine on fire for some reason, even if the engine deck is on fire, it doesnt seem to set the engine itself on fire. Normally I just end up using the flames as a pseudo smokescreen to escape, then try hop out of the commander seat with explosives.

To be fair though, the flamethrower’s range on that stuart is fairly small since it’s just an infantry flamethrower mounted into the hull. It’s still quite good though, despite that fact, if you can get close enough to use it.
TNT charge is too risky if there are infantry,mostly do they shoot ya down if someone has a brain dont goes away with his tank from there buddys. A tank is strong so long as infantry can protect it allmost the same as 1 soldier isn’t a soldier😉 (damn okay beside of John Rambo’s in game)
I hate flame tank there are idiots who lost his mind and burns his team
