rdfs:comment
  • This series of vehicles share many elements of the older designs, in the sense that they were blocky vehicles which contained two large storage tanks with flammable materials. The primary weapon of the AT-6 is its Devil's Breath Twin Flamethrowers which possesses an enhanced cocktail of chemicals that makes it once more effective against packs of enemies; especially infantry. In addition, they also have the usual ability to incinerate structures making them a useful tool against defensive enemy commanders.

abstract
  • This series of vehicles share many elements of the older designs, in the sense that they were blocky vehicles which contained two large storage tanks with flammable materials. The primary weapon of the AT-6 is its Devil's Breath Twin Flamethrowers which possesses an enhanced cocktail of chemicals that makes it once more effective against packs of enemies; especially infantry. In addition, they also have the usual ability to incinerate structures making them a useful tool against defensive enemy commanders. The projected flames not only damage enemies but put them as well as the environment on fire until the flames eventually die down . A notable change within the design is the addition of further armor designed to allow the tank to survive against enemy weapon fire though this was a change made against the wishes of many of the drivers of these vehicles. Their argument was that they needed the speed of the tanks to take them quickly to the battlefield but despite their protests the engineers stuck with the armored concept. However, they did introduce a new feature which rigged the engines of the AT-6 flame tank to its storage system allowing it to use its own flammeable chemicals as a fuel source. When activated, the tank speeds off leaving a trail of flames in its wake that can further damage any pursuing foes. In order to ensure that no accidental explosion occures during such situations, the tanks are programmed to return to normal fuel consumption after a certain point. Though there is a common misconception amongst civilians that the AT-6 flame tanks are mobile timebombs, due to their exposed storage tanks, this is an urban myth, one that Nod commanders often found a source of endless amusement. The chemicals needed to produce the flames are designed to be harmless unless projected through the weapon. Furthermore, the storage tanks themselves are well protected from damage or incidental explosions. However, any AT-6 flame tank destroyed in battle creates a fiery explosion that often consumes anything near it.
