This is a re-upload of the previous Flame Weaponry video. One of the commenters of that video correctly pointed out that I had forgotten about the Nod SSM Launcher, whose missiles were equipped with napalm warheads. I felt that this was too big of an oversight on my part, and so took the original video down and uploaded this new one which now includes the aforementioned SSM Launcher at the 09:39 mark in the video. My apologies to everyone who left comments and discussions under the previous video that are now unfortunately gone. I always try to make sure I have footage and information from the C&C games (based in their respective timelines) included in whatever the related video topic is and ended up missing this one.

Didnt GDI exosuit infantry after the 3rd tiberium war advanced to the point that the flame weaponry that nod used during the war were rendered useless until a new iteration came out?
I knew someone who traveled to Germany and one time he was asking someone for a lighter to light his cigarette, but he couldn't recall how to say cigarette lighter and instead asked a German person if he had a "flammenwerfer". Of course the German understood what he meant and laughed along with him.

The 1st war flame tanks are my favourite. They are the most heavily armoured of the 3-ish flame tank models and can assault enemy defences directly as Nod's most heavily armoured unit. The 2nd is easily the weakest with it's paper armour and flame projectiles getting caught on terrain very easily. Tunnelling is a gimmick.

I also find it very interesting that the A10s do drop napalm bombs. Because in the cut scene. from what I can tell. Their equiped with AGMs under their wings. So they should be doing missile runbys rather than bombing runs. But I guess thats just a part of gameplay. Since they never use their main gun eather.
The pipes of the flametower run from the ground to the nozzles, it is possible the fuel tanks are actually stored below ground, and the tanks on top are air tanks kept under pressure for use when needed. Ofcourse this is me speculating

@Jethild
3 жыл бұрын
I do plan to make a video on Hover technology. I don't think I'd include the Banshee in that kind of video though since it's more of an aircraft and I think in the Tiberium timeline "HoverTech" is more associated with vehicles that are floating a few meters off the ground such as the GDI Hover MLRS, Shatterer tank and a couple of the Scrin vehicles.
Stealth Avatars with flame throwers, sneaking into the base. Those flamers take down structures faster than anything I've seen, besides super weapons.
Real life tanks equipped with flame throwers would typically use a fuel tank towed behind the tank so that it was less likely to damage the tank itself if ot was set off. It could also be easily abandoned if necessary. Spare fuel tanks such as those on a T-34 were also mounted to the outside of the chassis to free up internal space and prevent firey internal explosions. Having the fuel tanks exposed on a fortification like a flame tower is not completely crazy, since it means exploding tnaks will not do as much damage to the structure itself, but considering those tanks are it’s ammunition and it is an immobile structure, the tanks seem far too vulnerable.
The black hand has arrived......were in control here
Hanz get ze Flammenwerfer!

Fun fact: The Marked of Kane doesn’t use flame
In Germany the Devil's Tongue was not translated, but rather renamed to "Fackel der Erleuchtung", meaning Torch of Enlightenment. Did something like that happen within other translations? Other creative translations: Hammer of Mercy (Hammer der Gnade) for the Artillery and Cloak of Silence (Mantel des Schweigens) for the Stealth Tank.
Do we know those bulges on the top of the flame tower are tanks, yes they look like tanks but as said, it's a bad idea... which makes me wonder: does it say anywhere they are tanks or could they be a radar-targeting device? They are mounted on the top of the building to have clear signal/view and are connected in duplex to make sure they feed the same data, or rather they both see enemies rather than accidentally cause friendly fire or targeting errors. The pipes supplying the nozzles head down underground, as it's the norm for soviet RA1 and RA2 defence systems to be either automated or controled from a bunker below them. Which would also be where the real tanks would be stored.

I know this is an extremely unimportant point, but the cyborg commando from tiberian sun is equipped with a chain gun and a flamethrower, even though it does not have one in game, to ensure it is not over powered.

The greatest infantry faction was always the Black Hand. A fully upgraded Confessor Cabal with Black Hand disciple and purifying flames was nearly untouchable.
Flame weapons are seemly very horrific power across the C&C series, but only when players put them in use wisely and correctly. If not, flame troopers like backhand are easily and usually get crushed by GDI's slingshot AA light vehicle due to AI opponent as GDI or it's factions could produce a tremendous numbers of such vehicles across battlefields. Meanwhile, flame tanks fire at medium range and are lightly armored which means they can be easily destroyed by anti armor units such as Orca aircraft from air or predator tanks on the ground, a group of missle squads are also useful against NOD's flame tanks. Finally, the worst scenario could be players who try to send flame tanks to wipe out GDI's heavy infantry like zoom troopers or raiders maiden, easily to be destroyed before getting close to fire it's a flame weapon.
Not sure if these count, but what about the Chinese Dragon Tanks from Generals+Zero Hour and the Mirage Tank from RA2?

The purifiers where so broken
Shame they removed the flametower in later games.
My question is why are flamethrowers so effective against buildings, that appear to be made primarily if not entirely out of concrete and metal (iron, steel, maybe some aluminum)? Sure the flames can asphyxiate or even cook personnel in side of the buildings, and are really effective at clearing bunkers, but why are the buildings themselves so vulnerable? Some I understand, but when the exterior is entirely concrete with some metal doors and bits... is this just for game mechanics and balance? Is it at all physically realistic? Is it just that the buildings in Dawn & Sun are not supposed to be made almost entirely of concrete and such, but the models and textures (for the 3D cutscenes, I know in game they are just sprites) needed to be simple?
I see no mention of C&C4. Things are as they should be.
