Flamethrowing units

Just consider for a moment what it is you are asking.

The Infantry unit icon represents 15-20,000 DIVISION sized unit of soldiers. The Lvl 5 Infantry description actually shows a Flamethrower unit in action... that's because Flamethrowers were part of the Infantry Class units... not a separate class of soldier such as Commando or Paratrooper.

I don't recall a single Division of 20,000 soldiers... all equipped with Flamethrowers roaming the countryside of Europe, or Island Hopping in the Pacific.

They were a small part of each infantry division weather they were landing in Normandy or Storming Iwo Jima.

Now if you were asking for your Infantry ICON to appear as a Flamethrower equipped Marine when you Research Lvl 5...

I'm in for that... But for a new type of Infantry unit... Not so much.

20000 Flamethrowers would be insane. For instance, Star Wars dont have all Flame Trooper units. If you check, they have one specialist every 10 stormtroopers so it should be involved in infantry divisions.

In these cases I like to point out that an infantry unit is a simple soldier, but as you research higher levels of them you can plan that they get more advanced and varied weapons with which to conduct combat operations in their specific circumstances.

The flame throwing units will have to be just like in real life: small units which will be vulnerable if on their own but added to normal infantry it will increase effectiveness of both units in urban, forests and bunkers.

Also flame throwing tanks are an option: they could have increase HP points in urban areas and against bunkers

Are there actual flame throwing tanks at the time of WWII, remember that these units have to be WWII related. If it goes too far, you should suggest it in CON. BTW, is Conflict of Nations still Bytro? The developers have Dorado signature instead???

Is that part of normal armoured tank divisions or it itself is a division?

They were generally apart of regular tank divisions, but they didn't always go with regular tanks generally they would mainly go with other flame tanks along with infantry regiments.

Adding more units is pointless given current game economy.

Food and rare bottlenecks allows to research and effectively upgrade only a handful of unit types.

Adding more unit types would require a change in resources production or reduction in research costs.

Yes. Just like CON, there are many units about twice of COW but you cannot research much of it because of your in game economy.

Lol i forgot about this suggestion i made and Bytro actually followed it up. eh eh 4 years later there flamethrowing units in the game...
