@@Scorpin_destroyer I remember a while back a youtuber called Lindybeige (mostly a general history/whatever he feels like talking about on that day kind of channel) did a video on the Churchill Crocodile stating that going by ratio of successful missions it was actually one of the most effective tanks for the war. Where its divisions developed a routine of doing a "wet quirt" where they just spray the fuel out on to a defensive position without the flame lit, basically covering all the defending soldiers in the flammable liquid. Then followed it by a lit burst of flame in to air in front of the bunker. Which in most cased seemed to be enough to make the defenders abandon their positions and surrender. Which was likely helped by the fact that at this point in the war the British forces would have had the luxury of choosing when and where to deploy them and avoid could positions that had access to AT guns capable of penetrating armour that thick.

Honestly I feel the worst part of being burned to death is if you almost dodge the flamethrower. Getting hit directly would probably dramatically reduce how long you were alive, compared to if only half of you were on fire, and you could run around screaming.

Germany was actually the first country to use the flamethrowers in 1915-1918. German army captain Richard Fieldler and also another guy who invented the first flamethrower in 1901 but yet during World War 1 in 1914 it wasn't actually used till next year 1915. Firemen in Germany was actually the one who used the notorious weapons and they wouldn't be taken alive as prisoners. They actually used gas mask with a death's head insignia on his sleeve. A soldier who carried it around was actually limited range and few pounds of fuel but yet a tank flamethrower can actually carry hundreds of gallons with a greater range in Second World War. Flamethrowers were actually used in the Vietnam War. The Germans actually called it flammenwerfer.

good vehicle as a stop gap until something more capable could be properly designed and built I guess. Useful against opponents with little or no anti tank capabilities, which is what the PzKW 2 was intended for after all.

[@milesipka]

1:13 Agree with you fully there, Cone... In the video game "Killzone" (the original PS2 version), I consistently managed to defeat Helghast Panzers (tanks and APCs) by using only hand grenades or in some cases rifle grenades. Takes four or five hand grenades to blow up an APC or tank, provided you aim the grenade towards the top of the vehicle (grenades in Killzone have a high gravity drag).

[@IcedForce]

Flamethrowers, great ideas on paper but not that good in practice. It's often overlooked how much support flamethrowers need in general, not only do you need to get them the extra fuel to spray around but also the gas to spray that fuel or you need to get crafty with the fuel. Now that you have a bit more logistics to solve, let's add that the war is often quite dirty business and one thing you don't want your long-range fryer to have is a malfunction and one thing dirt is good at is to get everywhere where it shouldn't get. Maintenance is the key to keep things flowing but then you get the other problem of war, there's usually people who want to shoot you too and be it in a tank or on a back of your fellow soldier, instant long-range skincare unit will handle all your blackheads and pimples away quite soon if the pressurized fuel tank was to suffer sudden release of inside pressure and as any English teacher can tell you synonym of "gun" is "firearm" and that fire part doesn't mix well with being covered in fuel and for a short period of time having most likely flammable gas jet/cloud around.

[@parrot849]

The American Army in the pacific theater during WW2 also used light tanks as flame tanks, but usually they were close-flanked on either side by regular tanks to support them, and/or kept friendly infantry very close by to guard the flame tank forward progress….

[@AudieHolland]

With a flaming range of only 35 meters, that's not much more than a handheld flamethrower. You could also easily throw grenades or rush to the tank, hidden by the undergrowth, and plant an explosive on the hull. The Allies used a Churchill tank to house the 'Crocodile' flamethrower, which gave it infinitely more armour protection and it could flame as far as 80 yards or more than double the range of the Panzer II Flamm. I played this tank on an old war game, 'Close Combat: The Eastern Front' from 1999 and they never referred to it by any other name than the regular one.

[@smaragd1238]

Flame tanks have a use, but that is very narrow and specialized. Urban and forest combat are where they prove most useful, but the cost of fuel to feed these machines was high. It would be good for rapid building clearing operations, if you did not care for the collateral damage.

[@tankdestroyerno.2684]

They could've continued the usage of flamethrowers on tanks by replacing the bow mounted MGs with flamethrowers instead of making a completely different mount like above the turret or coaxially, or something/somewhere else.

[@Hjaulmandra_Kanathara]

The term as I understand it stems from the German word for flame. Flammen, sounds close to the start of “Flamingo”. And the command for German Flame troops to push forward during assaults was “Flammen Gehn!” Of “Flame Go!” Directly translated. (It actually means “Flametrooper forward!”) And apparently this when heard by British and Australian troops sounded like “Flamingo”. There is also the basic understanding that “Gehen” means “to go” so shortening this hearing “Flamen Gehn” would colloquialize out into “Flame Go” or “Flamingo”

[@nonamesplease6288]

It's not hard to see why this vehicle failed. Besides the short range and thin armor, it also had a small fuel tank for the flamethrower. Compare this to more successful vehicles, like the Churchill Croc and some of the Shermans the allies used in the Pacific. Their flame range was better, their weapon's fuel capacity was much greater and even the Sherman had better armor. The Croc was just a beast.

Hello Cone. I was wondering where I could find more information about the Tank you called F-1 used on the Brazilian Revolution. A quick Google search only lead me to an image hosted on the Tank Encyclopedia. The design of the Tank really intrigues me, as I'm a fan of Experimental Tank designs. Tanks that don't use the standard Turreted layout you see on more modern Tanks. I only started my Tank researching a few days ago, so I'm really new to obscure designs and concepts.

[@benij2431]

Maybe I’m just wrong but with the flamethrowers mounted on the sponsens I don’t really see the need to replace the turret of the panzer II admittedly it wouldn’t be able to fully turn around but by the look of it the new turret for it doesn’t seem it can either. So why not just save time on designing a turret and have better firepower than the one they made?

[@colbeausabre8842]

You get the complication and unreliability of remote weapons in WW2, for one. "Have better firepower?" Three reasons. The gun on a Mk II was a 2m, so you are not giving much up. Second, the main weapon of a flame tank is its flame gun. Third, flame tanks operated as part of a team. If firepower was needed the other tanks could provide it

[@gus.smedstad]

I think of flame throwers as being anti-fortification weapons. The extremely short range means they're fairly useless in field combat. If you're up against a bunker, or in the close quarters of urban warfare, they make more sense. It seems like a vehicle-mounted flame thrower has lots of drawbacks for those cases, and only minor advantages.

Flammenwerfer: it werfs flammens

Can you please make a video about the l3/33 with a flametrower?

[@unbekannternr.1353]

Italian Simp Tank | War Thunder L3/33 CC , made by ConeOfArc 2 years ago...

[@smidl2453]

lol, was reading at first glance Flamingo Panzers

[@JGCR59]

Flamingo is spelled with one m while the Flammingo is spelled with two like Flamme/Flame. I guess it was a pun coined by some operators of it like "Flamm-Ingo" but that might even have happened postwar.

[@othertalk3313]

Have you done a video on the Flamm III or plan on it?

[@digitaal_boog]

I’m literally playing enlisted as I watch this. I will also say you are wrong. Infantry is simultaneously useless and a death sentence in enlisted. The tank will either be able to fight off hoards of enemy soldiers or will die to one dude in a bush with a 1.2kg of dynamite

[@janvandeven906]

You are wrong Thats why tanks are defended by infantry

The Panzer II Flamm crews missed a chance to call their tank 'the flaming hot Cheeto' :)

[@iwitnessedit6713]

Maybe this Tank was a little too Flamboyant for the Whermarcht!

"Hanz, get ze flammenwherfer!"

[@sixstringedthing]

I can only assume that the person who first referred to the Flammpanzer as the Flamingo thought they were being clever somehow, but they weren't.

[@2wheelworld64]

are you planning to do a Video about the panther kf51?

[@realtsarbomba]

I consider myself relatively well acquainted with tanks and WW2 in general and have been pretty enthusiastic to read anything old and new alike within the realm of subject but this is *the first* time I've ever heard the word "flamingo" used to reference flamm panzer.

[@me67galaxylife]

Cool tank

[@Spidyy]

What I think is that design served the NOD brotherhood well.

[@tieradlerch.217]

Its actually quiet good for those who have bushes that talking in English in the backyard

[@rafaa4988]

You don't get flamepanzer for free in this game, I think that is important to say. It's in cursed Stalingrad campaign where half of levels, including that one with the tank, you need to buy out to play with that premium staff. But don't worry, all other campaigns are normal. That was only something like failed experiment. Also we will get soon Pacific so good time to start playing this really awesome game;)

[@rafaeljeffreyguiquing1137]

Did you make a vid abt the p1000 ratte can you send the link in the discription

[@paulaseabee8442]

If you want information on German armour, such as the Panz.I flamer then you could reach out to Hilary Doyle at the Tank Museum, Bovington.

[@ramalmamedov8499]

Hello your videos are awesome.Can you make video about Entwicklung series tanks.For example E-75 standardpanzer :)

[@TankerBricks]

Bolt Action represents the harsh reality of using Flamethrowers, roll a dice after your fired and on a 1 you run out of fuel...

[@ALPHAverun]

I would like to know how you play on other maps of enlisted i keep getting nothing but Tunisia or italy

[@strongback6550]

I think the "Flamingo" could be a pretty decent vehicle for niche roles beyond simply being an armored box with a machine gun and would have made an interesting export vehicle when the Pz II started to become obsolete in military use. I think it could serve as a reasonable specialist vehicle for many nations in regards to occupying zones where insurgents at best possess improvised anti-tank capabilities. Wunderwaffe it is not.
