Each nozzle was feed via individual fuel tanks containing 160 litres of fuel; enough for up to eighty two to three second bursts of flame. Secondary armament was provided by a single turret-mounted MG34. Flammpanzer II tanks were issued to Panzerabteilung (F) 100 and Panzer Abteilung (F) 101. During Operation Barbarossa, Panzerabteilung (F) 100 was attached to 18. Panzerdivision, and Panzerabteilung (F) 101 was attachedto 7. Panzerdivision. The Flammpanzer II tanks were used as a close combat weapon working in support of infantry. Design by Evan Allen Painted by Aaron Mathie

Tank Flame-throwers Mounting flame-throwers in tanks gives them much greater fuel capacity making them more effective, while the armour ensures that the flame-thrower survives long enough to get close and do its terrible work. To learn more about Tank Flame-throwers, see page 199 of the rulebook.

Hull-mounted Some tanks mount weapons in the front of the hull instead of in a turret to save weight or to make them easier to produce. A hull-mounted weapon mounted in the front of a vehicle has a 180-degree Field of Fire covering everything in front of a line drawn across the front of the vehicle. If the weapon is mounted at the rear of the vehicle, the Field of Fire covers everything to the rear of a line drawn across the rear of the vehicle.
