Name: Flame Troopers
Side: Nod
ERA:Renegade
Base asset: Westwood (additional edits by me)
Gameplay
Replaces Nod's Blackhand Squad. They are exactly the same until they reach 'Heroic' rank.
Heroic
Heroic Flame Troopers gain an 'Explosive Charge' ability!
This ability is very similar to the Elite Cadre's explosive charge ability, except this version can also target vehicles!
The ability to target vehicles as well as structures is more useful then you might think, due to the fact that the explosive charge does very good damage to to them.
"Target acquired!"
BOOM!
The ability has a reasonably small recharge time after use.
Against structures, due to the fact that a 'HEROIC' Flame Trooper does a lot of damage, you might consider saving your usage of your explosive charge for an enemy vehicle, it is up to you.
If a 'HEROIC' Flame Trooper is crushed by an enemy vehicle, it will automatically detonate an explosive charge on the vehicle before it dies (this is similar to the C&C3 Nod Fanatic). This obviously adds an additional layer of danger for your opponent when it comes to dealing with 'HEROIC' Flame Troopers.
