General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the incendiary bomb.

Effective damage

The Flam C 500 produces a trail of fire on the ground damaging everything that comes in contact with them. The radius can vary although it is fairly large in a line. In comparison it is larger than the Flam C 250. Unlike conventional bombs, the targeted area will keep receiving damage as long as the flames are burning.

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of incendiary bombs that have firepower equal to this weapon.

Usage in battles

The Flam C 250 can be used to destroy bases or other ground targets. They are recommended to be used on a concentration of targets or a column of vehicles since the flames produced will damage vehicles driving through them. When flying a Ju 87 D-5, 2 bombs are enough to destroy a ground base with the overall extended burn time. 3 However destroy it nearly immediately. This however will vary depending on the vehicle's BR.

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

Cons:

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
