As-long as it's only one per map I am fine with this. Hopefully one day exploding tanks will make its way into the game. Risk/reward is always good fun.

Просто, обычно говорят о немецких, а вот советские как-то не встречались.
Думаю будет интересно!
Ну, как, тоже интересно и у Германий конечно но и от разнообразия в СССР я думаю никто не откажется! Классная работа!
Would be a fun aspect I agree, but won't happen because its an unrealistic Hollywood thing. It's been hashed out on these forums a bunch, and flamethrowers just don't explode when you shoot them.
Tanks don't explode huh? ;-)

LiveLeak.com - SAA tank cooks off

3 videos are not a proper argument... video No3 btw.. it was burning -> ammunition cooked off..
Spoiler!
... does that mean no tank exploded in WW2? No. But TWIs 100% BOOM system is stupid.
btw RPG != 1942/3 main AT weapon. If you send an exploding rocket into a tank the chance of it expoding too are reasonably higher than a steal round shredding crew members
but that doesn't mean tanks always explode when hit by a RPG.. I could post a liveleak video here too showing it but I think that would be kinda NSFW since 1 of them burns to death while trying to get out.

If we could get some explosions like that I would be satisfied with them blowing up all the time.

It doesn't really matter until vehicles aren't fully polished. Just a small detail.
Jank was saying that the tank on a flamethrower does not explode, not that a tank (vehicle) doesn't explode.
You are correct, without an ignition source a flamethrower fuel tank will not explode, just a large leak of fuel, that the operator hopes will not find an ignition source.
In the WW2 era with just kinetic hard solid AT shells tanks seldom 'exploded' again unless the shell if it penetrated found something that goes 'boom'.
Ammunition stores or in many cases fuel (The Sherman's main problem with it's gasoline engine)
Usually in the WW2 the AT shell penetrated, bounced around inside killing crew or damaging systems to make the tank in-operatable, and the surviving crew generally 'bailed'. Recovered 'killed' tanks were usually repaired pretty quickly because of the lack of explosive or flame damage.
