Just to make it more funny and logical, they should have make these flamethrower tanks to have double or triple the chance for engine fire or ammo rack explosion if they got hit.
While flamethrower vehicles were used on infantry, to clear trenches and bust bunkers where the KV2 couldn't get (or on the western front), molotov cocktails were used by Russian and Finnish soldiers alike to destroy German and Soviet tank engines by throwing it onto the engine deck and overheating the engine. While they would be ineffective against vehicles from the front, the heating of the tank armor could cause heatstroke for the crew inside the enclosed vehicle
@@chems Chems, facts are facts. Skill is a talented player. Having hundreds of tanks MOE amd the win rate he has is a proof. Its a neutral assumption. Saying that this makes me a worshipper is ridiculous. May I ask, what is your intention with this message? There's nothing positive on it. I really recommend you to slowly get out of that toxicity cycle. You are not that, it doesn't represent you. But as long as you are on it, your life will be a maked up mess. Good luck :)
This concept would be interesting to see. I was thinking and it's good if they had a percentage of catching enemy vehicles on fire if they are hit by the flamethrower, however it would be small percentage... For example in the front of the enemy vehicle (If the engine is not in the front) [Front armor is -> 0% chance of catching on fire, but still subject do direct damage] [Side armor -> 10% chance and still subject to direct damage] [Rear armor -> 25% chance and still subject to direct damage] {Tanks with engines up front is exactly the same values although reverse order}, another point is reducing magazine clip size down to 2 and giving a short magazine reload. this is my opinion.
The problem is not the dmg, i think the "stun" it will be a thing to consider before rush a Flamethrower tank with a super heavy. Maybe this type of tanks will be a "active stun support", cause with that sniper mode, it means we can use a "parabolic" shot and help your team in a hulldown situation. But honestly, it seems to be a concept for now. Maybe Wg wants to create a "event mode" for this type of vehicle before test them in the SandBox mode.
Gotta love how skill is so worried about how heavy tanks wont have to care as if some of the most meta heavy tanks dont have something about them thats very squish. The arty mode wasn't even utilized and the tester was also a complete shitter. Id imagine these are tanks that could take some strong positions snd then just fucking shoot over them. But then again what do i expect from Skill
I am from the RU servers and believe me I hate this tier 8 premium arta with a passion!! It has 500 mm armour in front with the mobility of a light or med tank and with the speed as well. This flame is not doing that great of a damage but it can burn you so many times and at the same time it is rly hard to penetrate it(fun fact the weakest spot is in the mantlet and still it is hard to pen). When I can get rid of this tank from a battle I become rly happy ngl
Ofcourse as heavy tank I would mind them, cause they can stun me. Stun from arty is annoying, with this flame crappers it will become more annoying. No thank you.
From a real perspective, flames cannot damage a real tank...not in this way anyway. Maybe WG will find a way to make the machine guns of the tanks actually work and be useful. A flame thrower is no use or fun in the game.
You kidding me? Get a Molotov on the engine deck and you utterly F UP any WW2 era tank. Heck, even modern ones would be fucked unless they have some kind of fancy fire extinguisher system!
@@alexthegreat5009 Most flamethrowers in WW2 used liquid fuel. They are not some propane torch like depicted on some movies. Check out videos of M2 flamethrower and Sherman/Churchill Crocodiles.
@@kdh6387 yes I know, but molotovs flow downwards into the tank and meanwhile catch on fire, but these flamethrowers' fuel is already on fire if it reaches a target that far away. Of course if the fuel still hasn't ignited yet and flows into the tank and then ignites, it's basically the same. But that's probably less likely to occur with a flamethrower. It's kind of understandable why it does this much in-game.
If it can fire to like 200-300 meters and has a good, very steep artillery arc, it could be useful... Otherwise looks like utter garbage. Also love how they call it a new mechanic when it's literally just a reskinned machine gun with bigger hitbox projectiles that also stuns!
These were bunker busters and trench clearers so historically real. They were not for killing tanks but in one Russian battle and one pacific battle they did just that. However none of the super heavy tanks: Maus, T28 were anti tank they were bunker busters too. So Wot has a lot of tanks that were never supposed to fight tanks fighting tanks. This is a good working implementation. I'm the guy that talks about APC and infantry simulation. This would toast my halftracks, kangaroo's and early APC's nicely. In both the Russia and the Japanese case the Axis attacked with open hatches or no hatches and never know it was a flame tank until it was too late. Most flame tanks retained a gun. The Sherman flame tanks will be very interesting. Their man gun plus flame thrower was particularly useful. In game modes where there are bunkers this will be a lot of fun.
@@squadrado this is true. But they didnt sell WoT to this RU company, right? It is a license cooperation. Usually, the license taker cannot change the product by himself.
Imagine if those things could burn bushes...
😂and you start to see a bushfire on the other side of the map
@@igiveyoublue5108 Also, easy way to troll teammates. So likely not a good idea lol.
They did
@@Blody1337 Maybe it doesn't burn if there is a teammate's inside or near it
me and the boys: *burns the entire map*
Even if these tanks don't do a lot of damage, the blinding effect from those flames is horrible.
That is why you have "options" menu...
The most annoying part is the stun, you could get stunned half minute
Just to make it more funny and logical, they should have make these flamethrower tanks to have double or triple the chance for engine fire or ammo rack explosion if they got hit.
Im pretty sure they take double fire damage but i could be wrong
Or damage crew members
I mean if this was realistic at all the tanks would haul big cart of gasoline for the flamethrower.
This is good. Why? You can finish all stun missions very easy without playing arty!!!!
this will count as arty in the stats
Molotovs hurt so Flamethrowers should work but more in the way of engine damage, crew kills, and ammo crits. Otherwise it just peels paint.

skill4ltu is my favorite world of tanks streamer/youtuber
I love skill
my favorite youtuber is jove
They could be arty class, for players to make arty missions :D
EBR with flames🧐 Spot and stun😂

Imagine being able to set objects alight. I could start a whole forest fire.
Watching Skill trying to mark this garbage will be glorious!
i think this is a closerange arty, you can shoot from behind another tank
Secondary gun would work wonders against ebr
Can EBR wheels dodge this flames as well (again)? Kek
Where are you bro?
the bad thing is that it fucking stuns
Wow, what an investment of their time and energy. Maybe it will be a free give away.
I Actually wouldnt mind these in game as it would literally help me smash Stun missions without playing arty.....
lol this is epic - 😂
War thunder already has flametrhower tanks.
next idea shoot vodka instead shells^^
I think it works like most arty, in that it does more demage at the end of its range.. like how u play Bert.
Your opinion is rational.... what is not rational with flame throwers? .....WoT! Oh my
I kinda want this on the eu server
it can ruin your game if you have 3 this flamethrower tanks on your side it means you have 3 tanks less than other team :D
Well, not too much worse than now lol
they are categorized as arty so will have similar matchmaking rules as arty
Im on russian server (used VPN) and im trying to figure out how to play flamethrowers
this would be so broken with the stun.
basically a mobile arty, u gonna play for the assist dmg
Russia best but flamethrower idk :D thats nope
egg tuna
Even if I play as a heavy, I wouldn't want this crap on my team. And nobody plays only heavy tanks, we all change the tank types.
Bad idea.
This crap can stay on the RU server.
Is this the same dud that has try to close aeg channel ?
what?
@@mile_381The russian guy at the start he tryed to close aeg channel back then.
@@Rasmulk never heard of that lol
range of it is 150 m so campers will destroy it without taking damage :D
Ofcourse as heavy tank I would mind them, cause they can stun me. Stun from arty is annoying, with this flame crappers it will become more annoying. No thank you.
they are seeing if these tanks will work against Ukraine because their other ones all got blown up
Then why is Ukraine not in Moscow?
flames dont pass through solid and not AOE
It would be great if russian will remain in russia and will not be dragged by Europeans into the eu informational environment. IMHO
tanks without armor are already struggling in the current meta so wargaming need to rebalance them again . in my opinion the tank is boring
From a real perspective, flames cannot damage a real tank...not in this way anyway. Maybe WG will find a way to make the machine guns of the tanks actually work and be useful. A flame thrower is no use or fun in the game.

@@mkzheroyes but that's because it was a liquid which could get in the small openings and light on fire. Just flames aren't enough.

gay russkie server
New 8 tier prem flammer tank.
200 Front armor 60 km speed and 1200 Dmg per clip?:)
They should bring out Churchill crocodile 🐊
Just wait for the Premium Version, that will probably be like bz176, and then all of a sudden ppl will care
fire shells should be optional for standard tanks
like HE or HEAT
tanks that can only use fire shells are usless
It looks like a midline support TD/SPG. So you basically just keep stunning people with arty mode lol
This shit will be annoying as fuck

The thing is, that shit is annoying and makes a ton of critical damage, even though taking like 100 point from you
Imagine of they could destroy indestructible wooden buildings
someone rlly said skill4LTU to be balanced xDD
This this is movable arty
Wait what now? I quit Wot and all gaming a year ago. Flame throwers? I never played war thunder for a reason.
Only on the Russian server. That server is no longer ran by wargaming, but another company.
An actual good counter to hulldowns, thanks god we dont have to stare each others for 7 mins straight anymore
Range is about 50m, good luck!

How come that the RU company of WoT can develop the game in a different direction tham WoT Europe?
Because Wargaming left the CIS region

@@juanzulu1318 Well, Chinese server also does what ever it wants. Without WG they can change like they want.
Obviously it's in their license that they can do changes as they want to
I suppose they have to follow the main line, but they can make certain changes that they think are better for the exact community they're serving
Interesting to see Russians applying to the game what they actually do in their invasion of Ukraine.
Erm, where does WoT stop and War Thunder start? This used to be a WW2 based tank game, but now anything thing seems to get developed
ww2 had flamethrowers
