Some figures for real-world flamethrowers:

UK WW2 Crocodile- on test, 200 yards, in service typically 120 yards.
USSR ATO-200 in TO-55 flame tank 180m
USSR WW2 OT-130, OT34 and KV-8 all 80 to 100m
USA WW2 several types, typically 80 yards claimed
USA M132 (M113 derivative) 180m
USA M67 (M48 derivative) "claimed 80 to 250m"
UK WW2 Cockatrice 300 feet UP in AA mode (!)

Most German WW2 vehicular flamethrowers seem to be very much on the puny
side; perhaps they used unthickened fuel more?
