or with tracers

I never said that it would cause a catastrophic kill on the tank, it's unlikely that it would, but it would be very bad to have exploding or burning fuel covering your tank.

it wont blow up by shooting at it with a normal bullet, neither will gasoline, this has been tested. There is a small chance that it will blow up with a special tipped bullet that produces a flame or explodes.

I never said they did. What I was demonstrating with the different videos is that explosives and tracers can cause fuel to ignite and/or explode.

Lol its not tankie!!! Thats a name reserved for those members of the 1st or 2nd Royal Tank Regiments'. I am a cavalry soldier, those who add style and panache to an otherwise dull affair.
Diesel got a low flash point but something hot enough would set it off. APFSDS probably wouldnt as theres no explosive content and it travels too fast. I once saw a caravan full of petrol have 5 APFSDS round put through it and it didnt go off but one HESH blew it to smitherines, Jeremy Clarkson would be proud!

Either way TBH theres nothing on the rear of the tank that will suffer if they were to go up in flames. A few tail lights and some really heavy metal recovery kit.
If you were unlucky enough to get any in the back decks it has to make its way through 3 giant fans blowing out the back before its anywhere near the engine, and then theres a fire extinguisher.

[robbo]

are you allowed to tell us that information?

[[R-DEV]Undies]

Dont worry i wont be telling anyone anything you couldnt find out from reading a book. The last thing i want is somebody knowing something they shouldnt. Having people know an engine has fans to cool it is nothing new and even a bus has fire extinguishers.
