but panzerfausts are WAY better than flamers, with a medium range vehicle attack, close ASSAULT ELEVEN against vehicles, and they cost 5 too.
flamers can do few things well, and that is kill soldiers and halftracks at very close range, and maybe damage a light tank. Flamers cost 5 and how many soldiers are worth more than 5? you basically have to sacrifice that flamer to get close enough to actually kill anything, and most times you are just killing a soldier.
Ild rather lose a soldier or 2 to a flamer, then a medium or heavy tank to a panzerfaust.
