Re: SG II: Flame vs. armor

What about the effects of a World War II-era Crocodile
(A Brit tank with a flame thrower) on modern armor?
Would it have any shot of getting either a minor or
major impact (to put it in SG II terms) on a modern
AFV?

An acquaitance of mine said the US currently has no
flame throwing weapons in their TO&Es. Can anyone
confirm or deny the validity of that report?
