Just seems like a worse version than the current flamepanzer. You rlly need mobility and low stature with these kinds of tanks

Well, it’s simply for fun with this flamethrower tank to use against infantry.

While it does lose speed, it has much better armor that can withstand a lot of fire that the flammpanzer 2 simply can’t, so it would be a worthy trade off.

in order to use it u need to get up close making weak spots and sides more accessible to infantry. so armor is less important here than it appears
