Flammpanzer III (Sd. Kfz. 141/3)
    Copyright (C) 1996 by James Lowry (jlowry@tfb.com).

        Early in 1943 100 new Panzer III Ms were converted to flame-tanks and
    sent to Russia.  The flamethower was equiped with a steel tube which
    resembled the 50mm gun at first glance.
        The adjusted cost is pre-WWII even though this variant was developed
    after the war started. The main armament are a heavy flamethower and a MG34
    machine gun (crit|cr|7d|19|10|1,000|3,900|15*|50) in the same mount in the
    turret, and another on the front of the hull.  Six smoke rockets are
    mounted in two fixed external mounts (stats as for pintles) on the ouside
    of the the turret.  The turret is motor-driven or turned with a hand crank.
        I used _Panzerkampfwagen: German Combat Tanks 1933-1945_ by Chris Ellis
    and Hilary Doyle as reference.
        The Flammpanzer III (v. 1.0) is a TL 6 vehicle [July 96 errata sheet]
    with a weapon from High Tech, my armor sloping table and new weapons:

    90mm Unguided Rocket (TL 6)
        The Germans developed a smaller rocket meant for use on vehicles to
    provide them with smoke laying capabilities. A launch tube is $250, 15
    lbs., 1.5 cf, DR 5 and HT 8, the rockets are $200, 20 lbs. and 1 cf apiece.

        Unlike the variant in Vehicles (page 112), this flamethrower doesn't
