Storage & Transport

The R-12b - “Salva” Flame Truck can be stored in a Storage Depot, Seaport or Storage Ship.

It can be packaged into a large Shippable and transported only by certain Shipping Vehicles (Barge, Freighter, Storage Ship, Flatbed Car, or Large Crane).

Tactics

Due to the destructive nature of fire, it is vital to have any firefighting equipment on the frontlines, and especially in easy to reach areas, as fire can spread and quickly lead to a front's collapse. Fire Engines should always be nearby, in easily accessible areas where anyone can quickly respond to a fire before it gets out of control. Additionally, it should be in the backlines in case Partisans with flamethrowers start burning down structures. Ideally, they should be fully loaded with water cans, ready for immediate action.

Due to fire being a powerful tool, it is also a tactical advantage to target Fire Engines, as you could make a frontline vulnerable to flamethrowers, which could destabilize a front.

In order to get the most coverage out of the Water Cannon, it is best for the driver to point the vehicle directly at the fire.

Trivia

  • Fire Engines are the only type of vehicles in the game that has armament incapable of damaging players, as firing the Water Turret on players will not kill them.
  • "Salva" means "Save" in Italian.
