Red army flame tanks?

[Crinkle]

After conducting a bit of research on the soviet armed forces, I found that the russians did actually have a variety of flame tanks.

This is a list of the most popular that I found:

• "KV-8 – A KV-1 fitted with the ATO-41 flame-thrower in the turret, beside a machine gun. In order to accommodate the new weapon, the main gun was restricted to a smaller 45 mm Gun M1932, though it was disguised to look like the standard 76 mm. 57 shots of 10 liters of flame"
• "OT-34 (76) -- hull mounted ATO-41 100 liters, (ATO-42 later w/200 liters?) of fuel, 20 shots of 10 liters"
• "OT-134 - Based on T-26 model 1939., with standard uparmor (20+40mm front, 20+30mm sides, 20+30mm turret). 45mm gun, 2 x DT, KS-25 flamethrower. Few were used in Winter War and later in 1941"
• "OT-27 - T-27 tankette with KS-3 flamethrower and MG. ~180 produced"

Would it be over powered to include these tanks within the game considering the americans and the british already have flame-thrower weilding tanks?

If not then I feel that a flame throwing KV tank could be very useful as part of the urban combat strategy as a possible reward vehicle replacing the KV-2.

Actually Ubran Warfare doesn't need a flame tank - they have those insanely powerful twin flamethrowers squads.

Its not a priority for the Devs but they consider changing Royal Marine BREN carrier upgrade to the Wasp upgrade.
Wasp Universal Carrier

+1 Wow!

An optional upgrade would be cool; You can choose to upgrade your Bren Carrier to carry a Bren which can fire paid armor-piercing rounds (better vs light vehicles and infantry), or that fucking sweet flamethrower (much better vs infantry).

If we could animate it ...

Animating isnt the problem on the wasp, its a straight model mix, making flames come out of it is easy, Ive had a wasp on my desktop for 6 months given to me by someone else to uvmap and skin. The problem in my case is ive lost intrest , Besides if i did it, it would probebly never be the right scale anyway

Why it won't be on the right scale ? I think that could be useful ...

I think the scaling issue is the same as in the SU76 in my pocket thread.

@DMz
Is the Bren Carrier bigger in CoH or the wasp would be bigger ?

It's smaller. Normally you should be able to duck yourself inside the carrier but in CoH it looks more like they are standing there. Maybe because Relic was too lazy to animate .

[Blackbishop]

I wouldn't care if it's oversized ... a wasp is a valuable addition, also i don't think it's size would be way bigger than the current model (or yes ).

[pariah]

Maybe you should just make all your vehicles too big, so they are the right size in relation to each other.

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Yeah! Remake every vehicle in Company of Heroes in the same size !.
