This is a re-upload of the previous Flame Weaponry video. One of the commenters of that video correctly pointed out that I had forgotten about the Nod SSM Launcher, whose missiles were equipped with napalm warheads. I felt that this was too big of an oversight on my part, and so took the original video down and uploaded this new one which now includes the aforementioned SSM Launcher at the 09:39 mark in the video. My apologies to everyone who left comments and discussions under the previous video that are now unfortunately gone. I always try to make sure I have footage and information from the C&C games (based in their respective timelines) included in whatever the related video topic is and ended up missing this one.
Where is Dragon Tanks from C&C Generals then?
No worries, I'm sure we can fill up the section again.
This was probably a wise move! You wouldn't want to start a ... flame war.
I think it would've been cool to add how the purifier was inspired by Brother Marcion when he did the thing with a flamethrower.
Didnt GDI exosuit infantry after the 3rd tiberium war advanced to the point that the flame weaponry that nod used during the war were rendered useless until a new iteration came out?
I knew someone who traveled to Germany and one time he was asking someone for a lighter to light his cigarette, but he couldn't recall how to say cigarette lighter and instead asked a German person if he had a "flammenwerfer". Of course the German understood what he meant and laughed along with him.
They're not the only ones that found it funny.
The word he searched for was Feuerzeug :)
And as a German I find it funny too. :D
would be more funny if it was a wermacht veteran that your friend had asked :D :D
Sure *pulls out hairspray and ligther* 🤣
@@Acacius1992 so: litteral translation: fire device as opposed to flame thrower XD
"They called it the Flammenwerfer."
*_HANS!_*
Yes sir!!!
Fritz, Heinrich, Franz, Adelbert, ......
Haha genau was ich gerade dachte 😂
I love the use of Skyrim footage for a medieval example of fire, and I really appreciate your integrity for reuploading the video to make sure you had everything.

Purge them with flame!

This channel is a gem for covering C&C lore
As long as it excludes Twilight.
It had some great units to command, but the gameplay was utterly reversed from the rest of the series, and even the story...I've seen worse, but it could've been much better
@@Chino56751 Twilight? What is that? Isn't that some sort teen vampire franchise?
@@HyunMoKoo TECHNICALLY, it had the C and C name on it...but otherwise, it wasn't one.
@@HyunMoKoo It was a mobile game EA tried to release as full sequel. I am quite suprised you never heard of it, since it was so brilliant that people realized better CnC game will never be made so they call it CnC Killer.
👍🏻
"The black hand has arrived"
Imagine a full length movie trilogy about CnC3... It would be GLORIOUS!
"Its very hot in here!"
🔥
Gives a whole new meaning to " Call the Fire department !! "
Yeah, you call for the Fire Department and the next thing you hear is “The Black Hand 2nd Armored Regiment has arrived!”
“Call the fire truck!”
“BUT NOT FOR ME”
The sound of enemy screams as they burned felt so satisfying in the original. Especially when they sang in choir.
I think the key that makes the nod flame weapons deadly is actually the chemistry
Great! Thanks for the reupload! You're very dedicated as a TH-cam-based CnC archivist, y'know! Have a good one mate!
"If your trying to convince us that GDI is the bad guy and not you. Then why do you go around dressed in black setting stuff on fire wearing scary gas masks?"
I made this joke before re-upload and it started a very interesting conversation about how Nod would recruit giving their image and why would people even join up. Hoping to continue that
"Are we the baddies?" Nod soldier
I mean, just look at their logo : it's red and black and it's a scorpion thing... How can you think they're nice people ?
I think most of people that join them come because they're forced and afraid. After this, Nod make some sort of brain-washing to make them believe that Nod's great thing
Most of Nod's recruits are people living in the yellow zones who are fed up with GDI
Honestly I don't think they care if Nod are the "bad guys" GDI doesn't care about those living on the fringes of the yellow zones or worse, the red zones. If you don't live in a blue zone GDI sees you as a charity case at best. Nod on the other hand takes that injustice, stokes it to rage and gives them a target... GDI.
It's a strategy as old as time.
I get excited everytime I get a notification for one of his videos
Me too!
I can’t believe this has only 10k views. Underrated channel. smh.
Ditto.
Even when it's a re-upload.. still a good video.
👍🏻
Those devil tongue were a a strategy to use on skirmishes. Build large numbers and pop them up in the middle of the enemy's base
I would mix apcs with them. rocket troopers and cyborgs and devils tongue in the enemy base. pure chaos.
@@WhiteStar762 Throw in a couple of engineers and grab some of their core base buildings in the confusion, could cripple your enemy for good.
I love how much eye for details you put inn to these video's, I love it, alot I haven't even tought off. Your videos are brilliant, entertaining and gems for the command and conquer fandom! Much love from norway 😀
Inject that sweet incendiary lore straight into my eyes.
Another triumph of the technology of peace, the purifying flames of Nod shall cleanse the world before the setting of the Tiberium Sun.
Gdi,USA and allies are better in my opinion, also the gdi and allies have very advanced tech aswell
@@hypersonicaurora2 They're better because they can blow stuff up better.
Talking about Generals, USA is also a big user of incendiary weapon which come in the shape of vacuum bomb. Fuel-Air Bomb, MOAB, Alexander's Aurora.
PEACE THROUGH POWER
"the flame purifies" -Purifier
The 1st war flame tanks are my favourite. They are the most heavily armoured of the 3-ish flame tank models and can assault enemy defences directly as Nod's most heavily armoured unit.
The 2nd is easily the weakest with it's paper armour and flame projectiles getting caught on terrain very easily. Tunnelling is a gimmick.
You call it a igmmick, I call it "What the where did my (insert any base building here) go?! I looked away for one second dammit!!!"
@@alexanerose4820 oh no doubt!
Popping in the middle of a base and picking off production structures is it’s own reward
01:07
As a german I can say you pronounced Flammenwerfer realy good :)
I like this opening, "since it's discovery centuries ago." I'm sitting here think centuries? 200-900 years ago. Let's try since time immemorial. The ability to create fire is so old it predates homo-sapiens.
Don’t spoil my viewing with logic. 🔥 JK
The ability to create fire doesn't though.... Humans are far as we know, and excluding any potential alien life that may exist, are the first in the universe to actually create fire.
Natural fires still happened yeah, but no other species could *create* fire by itself before humana
@@SATELLITEDOWN7735 it depends on what you want to define as human. Are we talking about all those that exist within the genus Homo or are we talking about individual species. Because we know that Homo Erectus had the ability to create fire and Homo neanderthalensis also had fire pits. Same with Homo habilis which might just be Homo Erectus, but we aren't talking about that now.
I hate that this channel doesn't get enough subscribers and views as it deserves.
Me too!
LOOK AT THE FLAMES!
Can you do more video on jet aircrafts in CnC? Iike the one you did on the Orca Assault Craft?
love this, thank you
Friendly “fire” incident haha funny pun
Awesome video. Any chance we could see a video about the commandos from the CnC universe?
You want to hear about yourself?
Yeah I'll probably eventually get around to covering them.
Make sure you do it left-handed
@@gdicommando4456 I'll just drop this off
Great video. Like the flame tower at 2:50.
Love these videos keep them up!
Man, you deserved my Subscription. I didn't even realise, that I need Command & Conquer Lore until I found your Videos. Nice Work. Be well.
👍🏻
love how much detail you put in every video
👍🏻
Look at the flaaaame!!!
Looking forward to the lore about railgun tech and rockets.
At least we’ve got railgun tech now.
I love that this is a video on Command & Conquer, yet there's gameplay footage of Skyrim.
"Maintain a smooth ride"( dragon tank)
I LOVE the C&C computer style intro! EVA would approve :)
Me too!
Captions at 0:17: ‘wow’
Just now figured out what you meant.
In Tiberium Essence mod, Black Hand squad has no capes and Tiberium-proof armor
This seems familiar
Deja vu
Reupload
I like your videos! There is no matter that i've watched only four videos. I belive that the next video won't be less interesting than this.
P.s. 1 dislike is from GDI commander, who is always defeated by enemy with flame tanks
You cant let them get any XP theyll destroy your entire base if theyre vet 3 , orcas are a good counter btw(in KW)
omgi just found about your channel, i love you 👁👄👁
Then spread the word. 🗣 I think this channel deserves more subscribers.

Ah yes the Purifying flames of the Nod and Uncle Joseph!
Fantastic video once again!
Purge them with flames

i like this video it came out on my birthday
Happy Birthday!

For the Glory of Kane!
I fear no man, but that *THING...*
(points at all variants of Flame Tank)
It scares me.
The black hand has arrived......were in control here
Actually, the Black Hand pretty much seem to be all about making your enemy fight in the open, which only guarantees a few more seconds of life to infantry than being in a building.
"Heeee!" -Flame Thrower Infantry exploding Red Alert 1.
The pipes of the flametower run from the ground to the nozzles, it is possible the fuel tanks are actually stored below ground, and the tanks on top are air tanks kept under pressure for use when needed. Ofcourse this is me speculating
Do you plan on covering the Dune games?
Nod: we’re more advanced than GDI
ALSO NOD: why fix it when we can burn it
Black Disciple on confessors and rocket militants is so OP. Every squad becomes a building clearing menace.
Any chance you will cover with "Nod's Hover/flying technology"? (And yes I mean especially the Banshees)
I do plan to make a video on Hover technology. I don't think I'd include the Banshee in that kind of video though since it's more of an aircraft and I think in the Tiberium timeline "HoverTech" is more associated with vehicles that are floating a few meters off the ground such as the GDI Hover MLRS, Shatterer tank and a couple of the Scrin vehicles.
Hanz get ze Flammenwerfer!
Now we need video about cabal
That could be interesting,
@@RC-qv9in yup
And No Strings Prd made one.

BROTHER
GET THE FLAMER
THE HEAVY
FLAMER
Are you going make a video about the Kodiak, dropship, drop pods, Philadelphia orbiting space station or any of the other structures in the video for GDI and NOD in the future l by any chance?
I'll eventually do a video about spacecraft like the Dropship, drop pods and Philadelphia. For structure related videos I'm not sure. Though I could probably do a video focusing on the Temple of Nod.
@@Jethild Don't forget about the Kodiak. I am curious about what the top section actually does and where exactly the crew entered and where they might have entered in the cargo bay section. Temple of Nod would be perfect.
@@Jethild Separate question, could a Mammoth Mk. II walker fit inside Kodiak or not? The Titan Walkers, Mammoth Tanks, Colossus, Juggernaut can fit in there btw.
Stealth Avatars with flame throwers, sneaking into the base. Those flamers take down structures faster than anything I've seen, besides super weapons.
Ahh yes the RE1 and CC1 flame thrower infantry... the greatest ally to any GDI/Allied commander...
Brother, get the flamer.
The heavy.
Flamer.
I imagine Flamethrowers Vanished from nods infantry besides the black hand due to the creation of tiberium weapons like the chem sprayer and such.
"The poorest weakpoint of the Flametower was that its firing range was just one or two fields short of a rocket infantry soldier."
It seem like the upgrade flame weapons destroy tiberium
Can you do a video on the tesla coil?
The Technology Of Peace!
Warming the Hearts and Minds of both enemies and allies :D
in the name of Kane!
@@andhikasoehalim3170 ahahahahha
Real life tanks equipped with flame throwers would typically use a fuel tank towed behind the tank so that it was less likely to damage the tank itself if ot was set off. It could also be easily abandoned if necessary. Spare fuel tanks such as those on a T-34 were also mounted to the outside of the chassis to free up internal space and prevent firey internal explosions.
Having the fuel tanks exposed on a fortification like a flame tower is not completely crazy, since it means exploding tnaks will not do as much damage to the structure itself, but considering those tanks are it’s ammunition and it is an immobile structure, the tanks seem far too vulnerable.
"Later on in the war, they were outfitted with flameproof suits" but not BULLLEEETT PROOOOOOOOOF!!!! *winds up the minigun*
Fun fact: The Marked of Kane doesn’t use flame
In Germany the Devil's Tongue was not translated, but rather renamed to "Fackel der Erleuchtung", meaning Torch of Enlightenment. Did something like that happen within other translations?
Other creative translations: Hammer of Mercy (Hammer der Gnade) for the Artillery and Cloak of Silence (Mantel des Schweigens) for the Stealth Tank.
Do we know those bulges on the top of the flame tower are tanks, yes they look like tanks but as said, it's a bad idea... which makes me wonder:
does it say anywhere they are tanks or could they be a radar-targeting device?
They are mounted on the top of the building to have clear signal/view and are connected in duplex to make sure they feed the same data, or rather they both see enemies rather than accidentally cause friendly fire or targeting errors.
The pipes supplying the nozzles head down underground, as it's the norm for soviet RA1 and RA2 defence systems to be either automated or controled from a bunker below them. Which would also be where the real tanks would be stored.
How much do you like command and conqure ?
Oh wait never mind keep this stuff flowing
"Ashes to Ashes"
And dust, to dust, to dust...
Flame weapons are seemly very horrific power across the C&C series, but only when players put them in use wisely and correctly. If not, flame troopers like backhand are easily and usually get crushed by GDI's slingshot AA light vehicle due to AI opponent as GDI or it's factions could produce a tremendous numbers of such vehicles across battlefields. Meanwhile, flame tanks fire at medium range and are lightly armored which means they can be easily destroyed by anti armor units such as Orca aircraft from air or predator tanks on the ground, a group of missle squads are also useful against NOD's flame tanks. Finally, the worst scenario could be players who try to send flame tanks to wipe out GDI's heavy infantry like zoom troopers or raiders maiden, easily to be destroyed before getting close to fire it's a flame weapon.
why was the devil's tongue discontinued it was unstoppable
wasn't flamethrowers used to try to contain/remove Tiberium infestation during the first war?
Yeah there was a cutscene from TD where a soldier was using a flamethrower to burn down a blossom tree. Maybe should have also gotten a mention in this video but I'm going to make another tiberium related video where I will make not of it there.
14:34 "borrow" lol.
“FLAAAAAME tank!”
1:13 French Fries!
It shall rain *ASH!*
12:34 Drills trought steel, rock, but cant penetrate concrete pavement.
Not sure if these count, but what about the Chinese Dragon Tanks from Generals+Zero Hour and the Mirage Tank from RA2?
This video was focused on the Tiberium timeline specifically which is why they didn't get mentioned.
@@Jethild Gotcha, thanks very much for the video brotha!
I appreciate not including anything beyond C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath. Everything since has just been insulting.
Hmm, just wondering what you are talking about. Unless you have inside info about a fourth game.
Centuries? Fire was discovered 2 MILLION YEARS AGO!
I know this is an extremely unimportant point, but the cyborg commando from tiberian sun is equipped with a chain gun and a flamethrower, even though it does not have one in game, to ensure it is not over powered.
The greatest infantry faction was always the Black Hand. A fully upgraded Confessor Cabal with Black Hand disciple and purifying flames was nearly untouchable.
*The flame will rise*
Love to use flame tank to rush enemies bases especially u're using Black Hand faction with purifying flames
Enemies bases goes Brrrrrrrrrrrr
1:10 1950? WW1 really lasted longer than I remember ;)
Btw love this series, I love hearing more about C&C lore
"THE FUEL HUNGERS"
My biggest question to the entire franchise (unrelated to the video)
Is how is Kane alive, if he existed in the first game more than 50 years has passed and the man does not seems to have aged at all.
From 1995 to 2047
He is Kane.
So far, best theories are
1: Kane as Cain is cursed by God for murdering his brother Abel, given a mark which not even death can touch him.
2: Time travel effect. There some idea in red Alert that it was Kane not Esitin who kill Hitler for his own goal to built the brotherhood.
3: in C&C 2 Kane had alien ship with advance technology to keep him from aging befoe c&c1
Do not toy with the power of flame.
LOOK AT THE FLAMESSSSS...
The purifiers where so broken
Ah yes, the infamous avatar "borrowed" equipments from the tanks where they hardly return back to them. I know three tank commanders whose tank equipment get borrowed by the avatars. The stealth tank for their stealth equipment, the fire tank for their lighter and the artillery tank for their lazer to play with cats. Or was it the cannon from the scorpion tank so it can go boom. But either way, the avatars have one heck of an outstanding equipment that they need to return. 🤣🤣🤣
Hans get the Flammenwerfer 😂
Shame they removed the flametower in later games.
