@TheFlyingPineapple You are incredibly ignorant for making such a broad statement on the internet about someone you know absolutely nothing about.

@HerrXxVorragend there was flame thrower river boats

It seems so brutal shooting flames at a human being... But then I remember that they were fighting Nazis. So I feel no sympathy at all lol.

@cfs3000 I think it was a Canadian firefly that destroyed Wittman's Tiger, or an airstrike with rockets
-
@cfs3000 Thought it was an airstrike, main causes of tank deaths were due to airstrikes on the WF.
@9394JP731 true, but the crocodile was the MKVII variant, wich sported 154MM Frontal armor. Even the tiger tank's 88MM gun couldnt penetrate it. Only the Panther's 75MM gun with special ammo, or the King tiger's 88MM(it is diffrent then the Tiger 1) could penetrate it.
Armament was always the issue with British infantery tanks. They where better of retaining the 6PDR, because APDS rounds became more accessible, wich could penetrate 120MM armor, enough for most german tanks

Despite the fearful flamethrower, it was slow to escape or respond to enemy from sides. Both the driver's & machinegunner's vision was poor,& limited by setting back lowly between raised protruding fenders, blind to discover concealed booby traps, foxholes, paks & tank hunters. The turret was small, undergunned & w/o all around seconary arms to defend, it could only work in open areas with escort.
