The manual suggests a typical anti-tank ambush using Molotov Cocktails.including men in a pit on one side of the road and a slit trench on the other ( to illustrate both types of earthwork) - to allow an attack from both sides at once. Therfore, if you are laying on the ground within 15 feet of a tank you are out of sight This is just the ideal distance for lobbing your deathdealing "cocktail". Likewise, at ground level, nothing within a radius if 15 feet can be seen. Molotov Cocktails, in my opinion, are one of the best arguments for some sort of close range weapons system on AFVs.īlindness: There are only slits for the driver, the gunner and the commander, and at no time is more than 10% of the surrounding country visible from inside the tank. A persistent fire in the engine compartment would be a tremendous incentive for the crew to bail out. They usually have fixed fire extinguishers to take care of fires in the engine compartment, but they are, at best, two shot. Tanks carry very large amounts of petroleum products and other flammable things. I have never seen a tank that has been off the wash rack for more than two hours that didn't have flammables in the hull. I think that the main effects are from fires in the engine compartment and smoke. I don't think that heat is a major factor in the damage done.
This makes the fluid gel.Īttack from above is the desired method, but, in a situation where a unit is being over-run or hard pressed enough for someone to get into Molotov Cocktail range, I'm not so sure it would matter if the crew knows where the device comes from. I have heard that mixing soap flakes with gasoline, kerosene, Diesel fuel, or a mixture is a good idea.
