Recognizing Flamethrowers

[obsiden]

During a battle, Fritz had realized the potential of the flamethrower. Simply by this, he has asked the engineering department to design a flame-tank. With their orders, the designers quickly went to work.


[OOC ok, this is nothing like the flame tanks today. My idea is similar to Leonardo de Vinci's tank design. I am picturing a rounded rectangle shape with tracks, nearly surrounded by holes filled with flamethrowers. The only way in and out are 3 hatches on top. One hatch for the tank commander, one for a heavy machine gunner, and one for in-out travel. If i can find or create a picture I'll post it. Anyway.....]

With the quick concept drawing finished only about an hour later, Fritz personally take it to the chancellor's office building to request a meeting.
Whenever he is accepted, he talks to Chancellor Badwulf about the flame-tank.

Not a bad idea. But, how can you work this in battle. By the time your tank is set in, two soldiers can fire 5 Bazooka rounds at you. That's a breakdown. Plus, you're highly flammable.

The fact that the flamethrowers gas tank'll go boom on shot impact is a myth created by Saving Private Ryan.

If the tank itself WAS hit, the most that would happen would be that it would get flung off of it's tracks, or spun around maybe. Or if it was stronger, nothing at all.

Bazooka's etc just need to depend on what chassis it was made on.

and if two soldiers where in front of you with bazooka's, there is a secondary gun for a reason. xD

lol c19 = win

anyway, I do realize this, that's why when I draw or w/e the blueprint, you'll notice the tanks are inside. Also, bazookas (if I remember right) weren't that dependable, especially since they need wires no? anyway, they are made to be used in urban combat, so you wouldn't see it from that far away (especially when you getting shot at)

-note to self do NOT bring to FOREST fights lol
