Flamethrower turrets

Flamethrower turrets opens a defensive building armed with a flamethrower. Its English description states: “Sets the terrain ablaze. The temperature of the released mixture allows it to destroy even light vehicles.

Ideal for destroying large concentrations of enemies.” The source is build 23882143. Research costs 1 000 minerals; the building costs 150 minerals and 100 energy. The AK-125 costs 200 minerals and thirty seconds, compared with twenty seconds here. This compares construction attributes; weapon damage needs a separate comparison. The stated role includes enemy concentrations and light vehicles; range and firing tempo need separate inspection.

The Flamethrower turret costs 150 minerals and twenty seconds, with 1 400 base hit points and 50 armour, from build 23882143. Calculated weapon damage per second is 369.2 against infantry and 76.9 against vehicles, with base range 10 and a 0.65-second cycle. The 150-mineral building has more armour than the AK-125 at 200. The value 369.2 matches individual flamethrowers elsewhere; until 4 September 2026, the page wrongly called it a ceiling. Bronenosets cannons reach 500 on the same metric. Final range is not established by the base field alone.

Base weapon range is 10, but the configuration also includes additional range, so this field alone is not the final firing radius. The 150-mineral turret benefits from a position where enemies cannot simply shell it without response. Calculated 76.9 damage per second against vehicles confirms that damage profile rather than guaranteeing a kill against particular armour. Our advice is to combine the turret with cover and supporting units, without promising a decisive result in every fight at a choke point.

Base range 10 and calculated infantry damage of 369.2 per second warrant attention to the approach. Area-resistance coefficient 0.4 is not converted into an absorbed fraction. The building has 1 400 base hit points and 50 armour; range 10 also omits the additional field. Its 1 400 base hit points exceed the AK-125’s 700, but that is not a complete durability ranking. Scout the actual firing boundary, compare suitable weapons and consider bypassing the position. A base range parameter alone does not prove a safe bombardment distance.
