Efficient and versatile, the TO-62 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. Its slow speed and small operational range however require more attention than the cheaper versions, for only a slightly better armor.
One of the three Flamethrower Tanks available to PACT forces, it is slower, costs more but is more armored than the TO-55 and FlammPz TO-55. Vastly superior to NATO's M132 Zippo for a higher 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, TO-62 can use their flames by firing over the infantry they are following, efficiently reducing infantry numbers and stunning tanks to prevent them from firing back 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 to increase the speed at which the stun takes effect. Switching targets often to maximize its effectiveness is a good idea. Simply shooting at a unit is helping it to panic reducing its battle effectiveness. Due to its slow speed however, it might stay behind the frontline and only use its main canon.
