Unfortunately, the flamethrower is not useful against any but the lightest enemy vehicles.Īdditionally, the M4 'Crocodile' Sherman can be fitted with a Bulldozer upgrade, allowing the tank to crush heavy obstacles such as Tank Traps and thick hedgerows. It can stand face-to-face with enemy tanks as well, soaking up firepower to protect other units. The medium armor, equal to that of any other M4 Sherman tank, the M4 'Crocodile' Sherman is quite capable of driving straight into combat to root out enemy Infantry positions and Weapon Teams. Fire is also a great danger to enemy structures, allowing this tank to demolish enemy fortifications with ease, and kill infantry hiding inside bunkers or other Structural Cover much faster than most other weapons. It can burn infantry both in the open and behind cover quite rapidly. With its powerful flamethrower, the M4 'Crocodile' Sherman is a formidable anti-infantry unit. This second barrel is the firing nozzle for a large Flamethrower device.
In truth, the tank's main 75mm cannon's firing mechanisms have been removed from the turret (leaving the barrel outside to fool enemy units), and a second barrel installed coaxially to it. The M4 'Crocodile' Sherman is very similar to an M4 Sherman tank, being almost identical visually. The abnormally high Fuel Fuel cost makes this a rarer tank on the battlefield, though most American commanders do not need to produce more than a few. The M4 'Crocodile' Sherman is produced by the Tank Depot, for the cost of 320 320, 110 110, 8 8.
The European deployment version is called the M4 'Crocodile' Sherman, after the British Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank. The Americans, interested in this development, had several of their M4 Sherman tanks converted to flamethrower tanks for service in the Pacific and European theatres.
Amongst their many creations, they managed to combine a flame-thrower with a tank chassis, resulting in a vehicle which proved to be very effective as an infantry-support weapon. Prior to the invasion of Europe in 1944, the British devoted a good amount of resources to creating a wide range of tanks capable of handling "abnormal" tasks not often associated with tank warfare.
