Something I thought about this morning...

[Banshee7]

Hello all:

After using the search function with several different key words, I was unable to find any thread or post that was worth noting.  I DID, however, find a few things remotely similar in context.

The thought of GV fires struck me this morning.  Something similar to the effect of fuel fires in aircraft.  Once they ignite they have a set time to end sortie or risk getting blown into a million pieces  .  I'm not exactly sure how it would work, but isn't there a possibility of a tank/wirble/etc... catching fire when hit in the right spot? 

This was just something I had thought of.  What's your thoughts?

In theory:
Where there is smoke there is fire.

I like.

No because smoke indicates damaged parts not that you are about to explode.

IIRC the only tank that had the real bad habit of going up like a meth lab was the Shermans.

Maybe they could model as they do planes.  For example the Sherman could be the "zekes" of GVs.  All GVs have the possibility of catching on fire, but some are more likely than others?

you can also bail from a burning airplane

Why not?

Why model something like this when your going to have a cartoon death from the next shot before the  fire can get you?

[Banshee7]

Not necessarily.  Just because they hit you once doesn't mean they'll hit you again...especially if you're on the move.

lol yeah thats sad but true but +1 on the idea

I would rather have when a tank goes pop that they leave a burning hulk for 30-60 seconds.

Gasoline powered wasnt always "best". Maybe in your '66 Chevy it was. But not in your tank.
