No to this, or engine damage. Not needed.

Molotovs would be thrown on engine decks to start fire and hopefully reach any leaking fuel/exhaust fume and spread a fire. It was quite effective. Also when thrown on hatches etc there was a chance the liquid flame would slip through any crack etc and cause the crew to bail out. Of course flames also hindered the already poor visibility of the tank crew.

We can't have that in coh as it would be OP. However if you do use a molotov on a tank it will cause damage to it regardless of armour ;)

I guess it makes sense to do that on the engine block. Seems strange for an elefant to be so vulnerable though.
