Cripes at least the crocodiles trailer had an attempt at protection the Valentines trailer looks like they pulled it straight off the farm

Anyone actually use these things? I find flame tanks to either be too slow in the case of the Crocodile or too thinly armoured in the case of Flame Panzer. In a defensive situation I find them to be ok, especially the Croc since it has a thick skin. I find that in PBEM the best flame weapon is definitely the German flame rocket launcher, I don't know how prevalent it was but I have seen it being used by quite a few players, awesome at making tanks button up or flee even if they don't take casualties.

The Valentine flame-thrower was only a development model - same as the Valentine DD was only for proof of concepts.

I had great success with a Flame version of the KV (I believe the date was 11/41.) I used it in a battle in Stalingrad and it was nice enough to take out the PzIIIs that it ran up against, had great armour and was able to desimate the infantry. Granted that was on a smaller map, so the speed was not a huge issue.

The Russians also outfitted a modified T34/76, I believe, that had grood speed, a 76mm gun and decient armor. I remember it being available at about the same time. Maybe I'll look it up when I get home.

As for the sdKfz251/16
I did say useful as mopping-up,
I wouldn't keep them in the front lines to easily picked-off with the thin armour.
But with the speed and and 2 flame ports one detachable persuading and killing faltering infantry they can't be beat.

As an example.
I racked up 8 kills on one in a battle that's why i use them:)

Looked it up. The OT-34 appears at late 41 and has several versions throughout the war. Appox speed, 18. Approx armour - F8, S7, B6. Armourment 76mm and 85mm. They make a great close support for your armour companies.

Did they ever try a FT version of the T-35??? Pull one of the AT guns, add a FT and fuel tank, and you'd have a serious close support tank :D :D :D

No. as far as i know.
What I do know the russians quit production after only 61 tanks,due to bad design flaws.
Could you imagine though, a land battleship?
Try squezzing 12 men in there;)
