Like standard Marine Infantry, Firebats are typically "culturally challenged person" who have been Resocialized by the Confederate government. Equipped with powerful, arm-mounted flame throwers, they serve as assault troopers in the various Terran Militias. Although their attack has a limited range, the flame throwers cause considerable damage to any target caught within the stream of fire. Firebat Combat Suits provide additional protection from heat and flame, although they are significantly heavier than standard Marine armor.
EVula's Notes:
I don't use Firebats that often, but they can do devastating amounts of damage to Zerg and Protoss bases. Team them up w/ Medics, and StimPack them to your heart's delight. The only downside to them is that they can't attack air units, but back them up with Marines, and you shouldn't have to worry.
