Well, the game is not going to be made or broken on one flame tank. Actually the game looked real good in TIKs vid.
But, now I am worried if Croc flame tanks were actually used in combat at all during Epsom, or Normandy for that matter. So maybe some better articles will show up. Some article that I cited (on page 2) mentioned one Nigel Duncan who said flame tanks landed at Normandy, but maybe he meant Mk VII Chuchills and flame tank field kits landed. Maybe they even put one or two together (the 141st RAC), and found out the pressurized trailer sucked. Anyway, I have been able to find some more info about the 31st Armoured Tank Brigade and specifically the 141st Regiment Royal Armoured Corps, and can post it tomorrow or something. |

I do not agree, it is worse. By two reasons: First the maps elements, they are not very good. You can see your units stopped at very strange zones. Second, the vehicles do not move with the front armor directly to the enemy. In the past, if it happened, you could fire a few shots with the tank in one direction and the vehicle put the armor in the direction from the shots. Now it does not happen. I believe that many of you did not know this tip and Steve made many changes at code for fix the pathfinding but at the end, he deleted some features. At other point, for me the best feature at this moment are the explosion effects. The worse is the lack of blood. |

Have you tried add a new vehicle graphic to the game? |

Brrr, 141RAC landed 1 troop with 3 Crocs on June 6 on Gold. In 2 weeks the rest of 141RAC landed. No other unit besides 141RAC had Churchill VII in Normandy in June.There are both british and german accounts of Crocs been used in Normandy and then clearing Brest with americans. |

The Operation Epsom Order of Battle states 2 troops (141st RAC) to one (or perhaps two) brigaded regiments it the 15th Scottish Division. I take 2 troops to be 6 tanks? |

Here is a picture of an article that tries to identify all the 141st RAC tanks by name, during the time they were attached to 31st Armoured Tank Brigrade. (i.e. since June 6th 1944). |

Note that the document, mentions NO flamethrower tanks, or flamethrower kits. And it doesn't mention at all if any of these tanks were in Normandy. Only Nigel Duncan's book (1972), says some where, but Duncan's book is about the 79th Armoured Division, and 141st RAC was attached to 31st Armoured Tank Brigade during this time. So my guess is, Duncan is as clueless as everyone else. |

And, since the pressurized trailer only lasts for 30 minutes, the effective "combat range" of this urban legend would be 5 miles maximum. What a joke. |
