is there any proof of any sherman even having napalm :huh
-
I think he means the "Crocodile" with a flame thrower...

ah, i thought he ment "napalm" napalm
not to bad of an idea but it seems like it would be hard for HTC to accomplish
-
It's too far fetched, main reason would be that fire, as of now, does not cause any damage, not only that, we can't simulate fire to travel hundreds of feet. So, this wish isn't gonna happen in a very long time.
-
actually the flames would go hundreds of feet they would only go about 50 feet from the tank itself but have limited amount of flame projected fuel or w/e they use. They where initially used to burn infantry out of bunkers so the their infantry can clear it. heres a picture of a Churchill croc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Churchill_Crocodile_01.jpg

There was a Sherman that did so, it had a smaller barrel next to the large main barrel, but the main gun was disabled so the large barrel was just for show if equipped with a flame flower, i say why not, but lets get some more needed stuff in here first...
flame thrower not napalm
-
ok...first, the Sherman (or any tank with a flamethrower) is called a Crocadile... and yes, the Sherman had a variant, but no main gun, the Churchill had a main gun and the FT at the same time, and i think others did too... btw skyguns, the flamethrower was using napalm :lol

btw, a napalm tank was mainly used not to burn buildings down, but to flush them out of troops... no need for a croc tank

you may wanna check up on that, not meaning to argue but i think napalm was a more sticky substance and i think they just used fuel mainly during WWII and napalm during more near the future (Vietnam) but iv been wrong before, IL get my books for this one...
-
Mmmmm!

Yeah skyguns, i remember reading about it, and gotta go with napalm

Napalm as we know it was first used on Tinian in 1944. It's a gelling agent of aluminum soap mixed with avgas, JP-4, or JP-5. Before that natural rubber (latex) was used, but these earlier forms of jellied liquid wouldn't technically be called "Napalm".
M4A3R3, M4 Crocodile, and Sherman Badger (Canadian) all carried flamethrowers.
-
Flamethrowers wouldn't have any use here. Downed pilots are effective enough to take out running troops considering the troops don't use their boom sticks.

You really wanna pay $15 a month to play online "tag" with stick men? :D

Fixed. :noid

Not I, no way. But for those who value their bases they will bail out over the map room, hide inside or nearby, and blast the incoming troops with their Colts.

I'm curious.. If you stand in the doorway of the map room, are there "collisions" between nme troops and our valiant defender?
-
No, they walk through you. At least that's how it was a few updates ago when H2H was still around.
-
Man, again with the H2H arena :lol :lol...had a feeling it would pop up somewhere again in a thread
-
For some of us it was the only way to play. Now we hang around here to brag on our l33t flying skills since we haven't died in the past 30 tours.

hahaha
-
i cant tell what the paratroopers are. they just look like stick figures to me.

yes u need to watch military channel they carried huge tanks behind the sherman
-
You need to stop watching and start reading.

Here ya go. M4A3R3 on Iwo Jima 1945.
(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/6713/300pxronsonflametankiwoow5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
And the "Flame Tank" model of the M4A3E8 "Super Sherman" could carry 290 gallons of napalm.
yes u need to watch military channel they carried huge tanks behind the sherman
M4 Crocodile towed a trailer just like the Churchill variant. (only 4 were built)
And yes, Denholm is right. Read more. Expecting to gain in-depth knowledge by watching the Military Channel is like watching McHale's Navy to learn naval combat tactics. Yeah they got cool looking boats and stuff, but it just ain't the same. :)

Napalm= Naptha + Palm oil....
But there were lots of mixtures used, right from the beginning...
And yes, USMC had flamethrower Shermans in the Pacific..
W flame projector and 75mm gun...
According to my pop, who was there!!! On the ground, doin the biz....
And they didn't call them Croc's either... That was a british thing...
Argue if ya want
:salute RC

Developed by a team of Harvard chemists in 1942-1943 led by (noted organic chemist) Louis Fieser, Napalm's name is a combination of the names of its original ingredients, coprecipitated aluminum salts of naphthenic and palmitic acids. Naphthenic acid is produced by oxidizing naptha. Palmitic acid can be obtained from palm oil, but dairy products will work as well. So you're basically correct, however further chemical reduction of the naptha & palm oil is required. The combined acids were packaged in a powdered form and mixed with gasoline in the field.
Oddly enough, modern Napalm isn't napalm at all, but a mixture gasoline, benzene & polystyrene.
:salute to your Pop, but Brits did modify four Shermans into flame tanks with the same armored tanker trailer as the Churchill Croc. And since the Brit's created them, they felt compelled to call them "M4 Crocodiles".
Just the facts :salute
