Eh, you could try Kubel or fast flaktrack. Early flamers means fewer mines.
Also, keep your mans healthy and spread out (don't blob). Flamers are super dangerous when you've got multiple, low-health squads sitting right on top of each other. Someone who knows stats better than me can correct this if I'm wrong, but I believe flamers do area-of-effect damage and have a chance to instantly kill men that are below a certain amount of health.

I generally attack click the dude with the flamer, they generally explode and make a beautiful scene of their squad burning

Just keep ur volks/grens at maximum range and keep them separate, I usually let the flamer to chase one of my squads while my other squads shooting at him. that's actually not too bad, cause if it's soviet means no maxim/AT too soon and if its usf means no paras or lmgs which gives you plenty of options to work with.
btw if you play Wehr and have sniper, aim the flamer and it explodes most of the times, specially against rifle company. if i play okw i just try to get obers as fast as I can and it totally shuts them down

A-click? Like attack move, like kill that unmanned ATgun-click? can you focus fire on a particular model?

no, there's no special trick to it.

he's probably referring to how US Rifle Company flamers have something like a 60% extra chance of exploding than Soviet Combat Engineers or Ostheer Pioneers. Von Ivan said this while streaming, and he cited Cruzz as the source.

Strangely enough, he also said OKW Sturmpioneers also share this 60% extra chance to explode, but obviously that only applies if they pick up a dropped flamer off the ground MVGame

I have a replay somewhere around here, I was floating massive MP by accident, and still managed to fend off the KV8's.

I used 88's, they work well. Otherwise a panther would be ideal, but go with the 88. If the KV8 focuses on the 88, you can flank with the volks and whatever else you have.

The nearby medic HQ, and flak HQ will give the you reinforcements and cover you need to stop the tanks.


Granted, they can still rush your base and wipe that pretty easily. If that happens you just have to focus on their other units in the field so when they eventually come for the forward base they are starved of fuel for further reinforcements.

Keep max distance, I barely see more than 2 engi with flames so shouldnt be much of a deal. If he goes t1 with penals i usually go for quick mg 34 and then schwerer asap since doubt he will have zis at the time as i get luchs or obers out. Then its quite fine unless some heavy flame crits.
