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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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”

    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.

    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?

    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

    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.
