Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam
Looking for the Battlefield 1 variant, the Flamethrower Package, for the A7V?
The specialization is referred to as the V-Flame in the Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion. It only provides a benefit for MBTs; The M48 Patton and the T-54. This provides a co-axial anti-infantry flamethrower attachment on to the tank's main cannon which excel in direct infantry engagements or denying an enemy's advancement with the lingering flames.
The tank-mounted flamethrower reaches over five meters further compared to that of the handheld M2-2 Flamethrower, 20 meters total. The flames project at the same rate (50 m/s) but the lingering time of the tank's is longer by one tenth of a second.
