Chaotic,

I can't find the listing for a flame cloud rocket or an automatic D2 hazard for flame clouds in the CWC2.5 or errata. I see flame cloud ejectors and so on. Bear in mind I may be missing something obvious and I admit I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the rules (any edition).

In essence, there really could be little functional difference between a dedicated "flamethrower" that really shoots small incendiary rockets, and an incendiary warhead that can be fired from a rocket launcher or fitted to (say) a heavy rocket. Other than a size and marketing one, perhaps!
