Dragon tank (Generals 1)

"It's very hot in here!"

- Dragon Tank

The Dragon Tank was a specialized flamethrower tank used by the Chinese during the war against the GLA. The Dragon Tank was most effective against soft targets (i.e. infantry), scorching them instantly, and could also be used to quickly clear garrisoned buildings. In addition, it was also quite effective against light vehicles and buildings. In hordes, they could burn down buildings with ease. The tank's "Firewall" mode made it automatically spray flames back and forth in an arc, making it a stationary defensive weapon, but one of relatively short range.

 * Black Napalm - available from the War Factory, Black Napalm was more damaging and deadly than the regular fuel used by the tank.

Tactics/Counters
"The Earth Will Burn!!!"

The Dragon Tank was used mainly as an inexpensive way of clearing buildings garrisoned by the enemy in a quick and efficient manner. It was surprisingly resilient against missiles from infantry-carried launchers, but otherwise was quite thinly armoured, and lacked any anti-air protection. Against regular tanks it was next to useless unless used in large numbers.

The Dragon Tank would be an excellent defensive weapon. A horde of Dragon Tanks could continuously fire at one location and any opponent that would pass by could be burned down (especially infantry). Due to flame retardant armour, Dragon Tanks were immune to the flames of friendly Dragon Tanks.
