another enhancement for my all infantry mod map. basically i just want china to have flamethrower guys to give them a 3rd attacking infantryman. otherwise they have 2 while the other sides have more.

since my map is all infantry anyways, i figured i could easily make flamethrower infantry by just giving the dragon tank infantry qualities. just change its model, locomotor, armor, and animations to that of on infantry via copy and pasting from any random CINE unit. all that would stay the same would be its weapon.

now, what i need to know is whether or not this is possible. if there is an easier way, or if i cant do this, please tell me. i am currently trying to make the flamethrower guy but i would like if some1 could go ahead and tell me how horribly bad this idea is or if it will work. 1 guy said it wouldnt work, but didnt really give reasons why. remember, its just a mod map and i dont wanna add any models or icons of any sort, i just want to make one of the existing models (some CINE or special "1 mission only" unit) use a flamethrower. so far i think i can get the barracks to produce it and have all the prerequisites and everything, i just need help actually creating the infantry (not that i am making anything, i just wanna change the dragon tank to be a man).

thanks in advance for all your help!!!
