(4) activates flamethrower, (5) activates coaxial machine gun. A flamethrower conversion of the M6A4 Ardent. The 120mm gun is replaced by a flamethrower. Said flamethrower has a maximum range of 400m with up to 20 seconds of burn time, with a 1 second burst limiter. The flamethrower fuel is stored in a pressurized container behind the turret, connected by a hose. The hose enters through a hole cut into the turret rear, sealed with rubber, going through the crew compartment on the left side, with loader shielded by an asbestos firewall. The loader's responsibility is to ensure the proper functioning of the flamethrower as well as operating the coaxial machine gun. The armored canisters in the rear can be released from the rear of the turret. The flamethrower canisters are quite durable; penetrating hits to the smaller canister will cause a hissing sound as it is filled with inert nitrogen, and penetrating hits to the larger canister, filled with napalm, will cause said napalm to leak out of the canister. If said napalm is set on fire, the lack of any oxygen in the tank will mean that the burning napalm will simply leak out of the canister with no harm to the tank or crew.

    @TemDesBur Go wage your own war. We are a neutral nation. Which means we will supply you through third party arms dealers instead of directly.

    Korean cultural sites. Leyah decided to join the Paternian Army. She was a good soldier, rising to the rank of lieutenant. However, during a military exercise, she was injured too badly to return to service, and her army career ended prematurely with a medical discharge.

    However, her will to fight was never tempered, and she decided to join the Chinese Red Army. Her experience and skill proved valuable in combat.

    @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I have another idea for a story, that will relate to this universe, regarding grandchildren.

    As the caliph, I would assume you are married, so there is means to continue the royal bloodline. Said marriage would result in children. Those children grow up, get married, and have children.

    These grandchildren, which would be numerous, of course grow up differently.

    One of them, Maryam and Leyah. Both would reach a "breaking point" where they choose their ultimate destiny.

    Maryam would grow up to an Arabian mother, and would study religion in the University of Medina. Here, she would become even more devout, almost extremist.

    Her breaking point was during the Battles of Medina and Mecca, when the Paternian Army occupied the cities during Operation Exorcist/Ruqah in order to facilitate an evacuation of the cities.

    She was highly suspicious of the Paternian Army, and though surprised they were indeed Muslims, she thought of their faith as "impure" due to Paternian cultural influences.

    Maryam, who never liked them in the first place, now believed them to be the Satan's army.

    She decides to take up arms when she remembers that two of Muhammad's wives were generals. She joins the GLA and proves her devotion and leadership in battle.

    Leyah would grow up to a Chinese Muslim mother, and would take an interest in politics. She decided to study politics at the Columbia University in New York City, then an Aurunan territory.

    There, she learned about socialism, and became a staunch advocate, even joining the Aurunan Socialist Party. However, the party was suppressed by the local government due to the Socialist Party's support of the trade unions.

    Her breaking point came when the Paternian Army swept through American Auruna, crushing resistance. Almost immediately, a civilian government was reinstated, and the trade unions she fought for were immediately recognized by the Paternian Republic.

    Socialist reforms came swiftly, and she saw the nation prosper. People were free to believe in what they believe in, free to love who they wanted, speak what they thought, and choose for their leaders. She could not imagine a nation which would seek to destroy this.

    However, she learned it was her home country, Persia, which harbored the greatest anti-Paternian sentiment. Leyah felt the Paternian war crimes were justified in light of the cultural genocide which quietly happened in the caliphate, such as the destruction of

    This was not perfect, but it did its job. Incinerating the Avauran army in the jungle. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

    @Pilotmario the AX-400 Detected the Tank from a Mile away, being in a the highlands of the United States. We used the help of our Drones and we gathered information, Successfully Placing a shot. The Tank blew up violently. With no occupant's exiting the tank. It was well assumed they were dead. The shot hit the Turret itself and not the Liquid tank. Sparking by Static Energy erupted it in flames. The exit of the tank was molded by the AX-400's Sub Turrets.

    @JakeTheDogg We considered an internal placement. However, the difficulty of placing the flamethrower inside the tank due to the shape of the canister meant that the only satisfactory solution was this. We are considering a new arrangement where the flamethrower runs alongside the coaxial machine gun, and placing the tanks inside the turret interior. We are also considering incendiary rocket launchers, not unlike the Sherman Calliope.

    Still, despite this limitation, the air and fuel tanks are capable of resisting 14.5mm APDS projectiles, and an armored cover is available, though not fitted to this particular machine.

    Also, this tank is to be employed against the Avaurans, who have threatened us in the past and really wants us dead. And they attacked us.

    So we must burn them to a crisp.

    @JakeTheDogg Yes.

    That being said, the tank is still capable of fighting, as it does have its coaxial machine gun and the commander's and loader's machine guns.

    @JakeTheDogg Penetrations into any of the fuel tanks will cause the pressurized container to simply leak air and fuel. If incendiary ammunition is used, then the fuel mix may be ignited. However, such is not a threat to the tank or the crew itself, although soldiers nearby may be burned. If container is damaged, it can be released if necessary. Flame tanks are no more vulnerable than proper tanks against anti-armor weapons. See Wikipedia about flame tanks.
