Flamethrowers were not effective in World War I primarily due to the challenges of mobility and the prevailing trench warfare tactics. Their limited range and the need for operators to get close to enemy positions made them vulnerable to counterattacks. Additionally, the effectiveness of flamethrowers was hindered by the muddy and unstable terrain, which often made it difficult to maneuver and deploy them effectively. Lastly, the psychological impact was significant, but the actual tactical utility was limited in the context of the war's overall strategies.
