Regarding the fuel vs gas points - we call it fuel because a good portion of commuter vehicles (as in normal sedans, hatchbacks and combis, not massive pickups) have a diesel engine.

[@Kalmoire]

and also gas just stands for LPG or other types of gas, not petrol.

[@CraigMitchell44]

@@Kalmoire Yep. German-speaking and Slavic countries say "benzin".

And "Gasoline" was the brand name of the most popular petrol products, from when petroleum oil was just starting to become widespread.

[@Lofi.z34]

Interesting game-code fact: Because "fire" is technically impossible currently in video games, it has to be modelled as invisible projectiles with a fire effect attached to it. In other words, the flamethrower weapon fires full-auto projectiles with a fire effect, and you can see the individual projectiles in this video. Then special damage parameters are attached to it.

[@Lofi.z34]

[@Maxio1606]

4:50 To my knowledge "Gas" is just a short for "Gasoline". In Polish we call it "Benzyna" (from latin "benzoe"), "gaz" means just... gas like LPG, but more funny is when we go to Czech Republic or Slovakia - gas in their languages is "plyn", but in Polish "płyn" means... liquid xD

[@osmacar5331]

Gas is gasoline a rival product to gazoline. Till the British government did one thing right, and tell them to stop being idiots and it's petroleum to stop confusion of the citizens.

[@johnnycruiser2846]

You Poles have many words that mean the exact opposite as czech words that sound the same.

[@Maxio1606]

@@johnnycruiser2846 Indeed. "Czerstwy" is one of the best examples. "Czerstwy chleb" in Polish means "stale bread", but in Czech/Slovak that means "fresh bread", or "Maj"-"květen". There is a lot of these. Also a lot of Czech words just sounds funny for Poles ("pomidor" - "rajské jablko") :)

[@HairTrigger223]

Same in Australia- gas means you got a car running on LPG, which used to be real common and was the go to for taxis. These days they're moving to hybrids / EVs though For a quick summary, look up Dankpods / Garbage time and the story of Bruce EDIT- another term in Aus is 'bang juice'

[@r1zmy]

2:33 I agree that British cruiser tanks like the Cromwell and Comet are a joy to use because of just how much pen and speed they have. My gripe with British tanks aren't necessarily the heavies because they at least have very reliable armor, but more of just how dodgy British MBTs are. Most of them are as slow as a heavy tank but as armored as a light tank, and despite being equipped with excellent guns, they have low magnification optics that makes long range shooting a lot harder than it should be. And this is all on top of the fact that a lot of them are put in BRs that are almost maliciously designed to screw you over, like how so many Centurions sit at 7.7 where they frequently face 8.0-8.7 tanks that are faster, do more damage, has better armor, and are equipped with laser rangefinders, but a full downtier to 6.7 still puts you in a position to fight tanks that you cant even frontally pen.

[@Jump-Shack]

To be fair, most mbts armor wise in general, besides really the ones that use composite armor, can easily lolpen each other like how the centurions can lolpen the T54/55 and the M48s and they can do the same to the centurion

[@r1zmy]

​@@Jump-Shack from my experience the Centurions often deal more lolnonpen than lolpen. lmao

[@Jump-Shack]

@r1zmy oh they do pen it just depends heavily where you shot since from experience. I mostly penetrate the vehicles I do manage to hit either with the APDS or solid shot

[@connivingkhajiit]

The conqueror and the chieftain mk10 are the only rare instances around that BR that have reliable armor. Conq with its fatass UFP and the chieftain with its bulging forehead. Joys to play. Its kind funny though because as a top tier british main who generally finds other trees boring, I bought the T55AM-1 on sale to grind russia, and got my second ever nuke in it after about 5 matches. It really is no joke playing britain is like intense training.

[@r1zmy]

@@connivingkhajiit The one time I got a nuke in a British tank was when I uptiered a Comet all the way to 6.7 and landed 5 kills with like 32 critical hits total. When I swapped to Germany, I regularly got matches with 9-12 kills in a Panzer IV.

So just small note for the croc; if you use the "switch/select machineguns bind" it only controlls the flamer in the hull. Useful when you're attempting to roast someone, you don't have to waste time bringing the main gun back down slowly to aim at other targets that might pop up.

On the topic of American tanks used by the Japanese, I request that you use the Japanese M24 at the BR range of vehicles from around 1952, which is when Japan first got their M24s. If you want to have an extra challenge, try using it at the BR range of vehicles from around 1974, which is when it was taken out of service. Would make for a VERY interesting video... :)

[@ReySchultz121]

Ironically that's what the trailer's for. You separate the danger liquid from the crew so the tank wouldn't just combust if penetrated.
