Flaming Hot Panzers, the Panzer II Flamm | Cursed by Design

Twin flamers and the MG34 at head level... it looks like it would be great for a zombie apocalypse, but that's about it.

The design is very human

Panzer 1 F with flamethrowers sounds like it would be a great vehicle

As a terror weapon? 10/10. As something you want to be anywhere near when it's taking anti-tank fire? 0/10.

I think that light armour + big tanks of flammable liquid is a recipe for disaster. Definitely don't wanna skimp on armour for a flame tank.

sounds like what germans would do

Didn’t the Germans also have that flame thrower panzer 3

Flame tanks have a use, but that is very narrow and specialized. Urban and forest combat are where they prove most useful, but the cost of fuel to feed these machines was high. It would be good for rapid building clearing operations, if you did not care for the collateral damage.

Crazy to see those men sprinting with the flamethrower in their back. The thing weighs 90 lbs when it's full.

Why does your sponsor bow to the political correctness and not properly display the swastika as it historically was? Didn't Germany rescind that law prohibiting it in games? Why the censorship?

Hello Cone.
I was wondering where I could find more information about the Tank you called F-1 used on the Brazilian Revolution.
A quick Google search only lead me to an image hosted on the Tank Encyclopedia.
The design of the Tank really intrigues me, as I'm a fan of Experimental Tank designs.
Tanks that don't use the standard Turreted layout you see on more modern Tanks.
I only started my Tank researching a few days ago, so I'm really new to obscure designs and concepts.

I have Always loved the flame-thrower so putting it in a tank great 👍

I want to see the fake Tiger II flame variant with 8 flame throwers that could shoot half a mile... Come on, Wehr-a-boos, make it happen...

ZIS IS UND FLAMMENPANZER, ZIT WERFS FLAMMEN!

The term as I understand it stems from the German word for flame.

Flammen, sounds close to the start of “Flamingo”. And the command for German Flame troops to push forward during assaults was “Flammen Gehn!” Of “Flame Go!” Directly translated.
(It actually means “Flametrooper forward!”)

And apparently this when heard by British and Australian troops sounded like “Flamingo”.

There is also the basic understanding that “Gehen” means “to go” so shortening this hearing “Flamen Gehn” would colloquialize out into “Flame Go” or “Flamingo”

kudos to the British spy convincing the fuel starving Germans to build Flamethrower troops

Hi

actually, its worse than just burning, you literally melt AND burn to death

for anyone who wonders, enlisted is pretty good.

One of the best early war tanks in Close Combat 3: The Russian Front.

Ahh yes enlisted, if you like you like having infantry that’s oblivious, and a soldier that will never not take extra steps when you’re shooting. Win for realism

I have never heard for referencing the Panzer Brand as „FLAMINGO“ before IN MY LIFE

Honestly I feel the worst part of being burned to death is if you almost dodge the flamethrower. Getting hit directly would probably dramatically reduce how long you were alive, compared to if only half of you were on fire, and you could run around screaming.

Greek fire was probably before WW1.

Pz1 1939

I think out of any country, the US used flamethrowers the best.

A good idea not properly followed up.

In the Pacific, flamethrowers probably killed more Japanese hiding in caves. Asphyxiation is also a slow death.

Hans not only got the flammenwefer, he also got the panzer division

When in doubt, burn em out

With a flaming range of only 35 meters, that's not much more than a handheld flamethrower.
You could also easily throw grenades or rush to the tank, hidden by the undergrowth, and plant an explosive on the hull.

The Allies used a Churchill tank to house the 'Crocodile' flamethrower, which gave it infinitely more armour protection and it could flame as far as 80 yards or more than double the range of the Panzer II Flamm.

I played this tank on an old war game, 'Close Combat: The Eastern Front' from 1999 and they never referred to it by any other name than the regular one.

Of course brazil made a flamethrower tank, of course it was BRAZIL

At first I was like "only 35m of range? That's nothing!" but then I thought about that and shit that is a lot of fire. But still very poor range against other tanks, for obvious reasons, but god just a 35m radius semicircle of flame in front would be terrifying

Yo ma man, what is that game that u use to demonstrate the flamingo? if it is a game

I know I'm late but I play enlisted and can confirm when I play a tank I get killed by infantry more often than other tanks especially on urban maps

Bruh This tank is a fking horror in Enlisted Stalingrad mode

Any soldiers who actually had a flamethrower back pack is actually a great target to be taken out at all cost. Enemy troops would actually hit his fuel tank deliberately to get rid of him. If you actually hit him to put him down, he's buddy would actually remove it from him and put it on himself to use it against the enemy troops.

Germany was actually the first country to use the flamethrowers in 1915-1918. German army captain Richard Fieldler and also another guy who invented the first flamethrower in 1901 but yet during World War 1 in 1914 it wasn't actually used till next year 1915. Firemen in Germany was actually the one who used the notorious weapons and they wouldn't be taken alive as prisoners. They actually used gas mask with a death's head insignia on his sleeve. A soldier who carried it around was actually limited range and few pounds of fuel but yet a tank flamethrower can actually carry hundreds of gallons with a greater range in Second World War. Flamethrowers were actually used in the Vietnam War. The Germans actually called it flammenwerfer.

I wouldnt want to be anywhere near a Flamm tank if it gets hit by an enemy AT shell.

I like the original cursed by design intro

Flamingo is A modern Name

Birdnames are recerved to Planes Tanks get Catnames but if the Tank had an Animal Name it would be an weirdly early Thing

But it would have a Mythological Name like Feuerdrache or Höllenhund Not Flamingo that only makes sens in Englisch

Do you have a P 1000 vid?

I dunno I'd think being doused in flames would probably be one of the quicker ways to go, as long as there was enough of it. You'd probably pass out really fast from lack of oxygen.

it had to be brazil

They would have been better at the beginning of the war Poland France the low countries Cezch, Greece ect ...

Not to be confused with the Flanpanzer, which was beloved by the crew but disintegrated when wet.
