Cleansing Doctrine

Cleansing Doctrine describes a flamethrower APC and heavy assault tank: “A fast and dangerous flamethrower APC with a heavy assault tank for breaking through fortifications.” The source is build 23882143; research costs 500 minerals. Its configsToAdd points to the Flamethrower armored personnel carrier at 100 and Gorb Tank at 300. Until 4 September 2026, the page wrongly denied the links and instead described the Flamethrower tank at 200, a different vehicle. The correction follows configuration identity. The pair is verified, but the short description does not establish identical roles, weapons or breakthrough methods for both.

Individual flamethrowers on the flame tank, turret and Bronenosets have 369.2 calculated infantry damage per second, from build 23882143. Until 4 September 2026, the page wrongly described that as a damage ceiling; Bronenosets cannons reach 500 on the same metric. The developer mentioned burning terrain in the 2025 devlog: “landscape destruction, surface burning, the enhancement (blueprints) system and more.” That is context for fire mechanics, not proof that all these flamethrowers are opened by Cleansing Doctrine. Its verified linked machines are the Flamethrower armored personnel carrier and Gorb Tank.

The phrase “breaking through fortifications” concerns fortification breakthrough. Trench coefficient 0.6 and Bunker coefficient 0.6 do not prove weak artillery or superior fire. The carrier costs 100 minerals and 15 population, with 640 base hit points, 25 front armour against 8 behind and area coefficient 0.0, built in fifteen seconds. Gorb Tank costs 300, with 1 100 base health, 110 front armour against 50 behind and coefficient 0.6. The patch of 22 June 2026 states: “no longer die from environmental damage (flame, gas)” This limits environmental damage rather than every direct hit by fire weapons.

The patch note protects covered units from environmental flame and gas rather than every direct weapon hit. The configurations include fire-resistance coefficients 0.98 and 1.0, compared with 0.3 on the Mutant crane. Without a verified formula we do not convert these into near-complete absorption or guaranteed vulnerability. Base range 10 on separate flamethrower weapons is not the final range of every machine in this doctrine. Our advice is to scout the actual carrier and Gorb Tank, then choose distance and weapons from their own records.
