Feeling the burning desire to incinerate something...

Total Annihilation has Pyro, for example.

So I'm looking for more sci-fi strategy games with flamethrower units, no matter RTS or TBS.

Thanks in advance.
Starcraft with the Terran Firebat is another RTS example.
Command & Conquer.
In the C&C games are also flamethrower units.
- Both KKND eXtreme and KKND 2
- Outlive
- Emperor: Battle for Dune (Flame Tanks - Harkonners)
- Warhammer 40k: Sanctus Reach
- Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (both I and II)

MartiusR: Outlive
Never played it, BTW. Thanks for reminding about this game. Who has flamethrowers then, Humans or Robots?

Humans has Flamethrower vehicle, one of the most powerful ground vehicles in the game.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall. The Promethian Secret Technology is all about burning your enemies.
Really?

personally i despise the use of flamethrowers in any game

Warhammer must be one of the most baddest in that respect. With biohazard, nuclear and pyromancia properties poured out through all of their designs
Flame tank from C&C games. Later games also have flamer infantry or giant walking flamethrower robots.

If you want to experience incinerating enemies from first person, Blood is the best choice. From a Spray Can and a ligher through Flare Pistol to a Napalm Launcher or a magical staff which shoots fireballs, watching those damn cultists run around burning, screaming their lungs out before falling to the ground never gets old.

I smell heresy. Expect a visit from the local comissar soon.

No really, i can't stomach that shit. Purge we must but... lets use dettol instead of flames or toxics... orcs will just run as hard, its also efficiency... with all the other xenos overly armored most of the time
Arguing if the setting qualifies as sci-fi aside - all three factions in Iron Harvest have flamethrower units as well.
If I recall correctly, there are flamethrower units in Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach.
Codename Panzers: Phase two has its load of flamethrowing units too. Sorry, forget this one. Not sci-fi...
As mentioned before, AoW Planetfall's prometheans are specialists in setting things ablaze
Also there are some flamethrowers in Warhammer 40K: Mechanicus

Off the top of my head, I cant't recall a sci-fi strategy game that doesn't have one.
