[@eyeblech2001]

[@McRizzle23]

​@@mpicas.The sneaky thing about dropping mines as CAS is they do not produce the whistle from a dropping bomb and are impacted detonated so if you are good with your aim they have no idea or chance or evading. Plus I think the explosive mass of mines is higher than that of same weight bombs it's been a while since I have checked . Only downside is they don't fragment as much (in my opinion I haven't got any proof of this other than if my aims a bit off I notice tanks seem to die less often from splash )

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.

"The surprise effect of the first appearance of one of these induced 150 germans to surrender" "The first shot of flame produced about 50 prisoners. Further shot were fired into dug-outs, gun pits and trenchs and a total capture of about 200 prisoners was made" "The target was a small wood upon which a sqn of shermans had previously expended all their amn. An envoy had come out of the wood but would not accept the terms of surrender given him. Crocodiles were then used and the first shot of flame yielded about 50 prisoners. Further shots of flame on dug-outs, gun pits, trenches and houses, yeilded bunches of prisoners up to a total of 250" I got these from some British documents and now is perfect time to share. Not about un-ignited fuel but still interesting.

[@CraigMitchell44]

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]

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

Day 139 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.

[@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.

[@Shaun_Jones]

I think people shoot at the trailer because in most first person shooters, shooting an enemy’s flamethrower turns them into fuel-air bombs, so they assume the same applies to the Crocodile (this isn’t even a good assumption to make anyway, because real flamethrowers also don’t explode when shot; they just leak fuel or knock the user over if the air tank gets hit).

[@Lykas_mitts]

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.
