Cheap, efficient and versatile, the Flamm Panzer TO-55 is a useful tool in maps where infantry takes an important part, and can still be useful on bigger maps. One is to be used in combination with infantry but shouldn't try to attack infantry positions on its own in the field.
One of the three flamethrower tanks available to PACT forces, it is the exact copy of the USSR's TO-55 in GDR skin. Cheaper, faster, and with a better operational range than the better armored TO-62, it is vastly superior to NATO's M132 Zippo for a slightly better price.
Like the other PACT flamethrower tanks, it is armed with a rather weak main canon and a flamethrower.
Tactics
- A flame thrower has two primary uses: the first one is to clear forests, especially when combined to infantry assaults. Best used in pairs, FlammPz TO-55 can use their flames by firing over the infantry they are following, efficiently reducing infantry numbers and stunning tanks to prevent them from firing at your infantry. They can also be used to blind fire at woods where infantry is known to hide while staying out of range of LAW-type weapons.
- It can also be used to reinforce a tank assault by stunning enemy armor in range but again, used in a pair often maximize the effectiveness is a good idea. Simply shooting at a unit is helping it to panic reducing its battle effectiveness.
- Thanks to its main canon, the TO-55 can support other tanks pretty easily, staying useful even if not in range to use its flamethrower.
Overview

The absolute best version of the TO-55 due to the FlammPz having all the same stats except better autonomy and top armor.
