Depends, can't read moonrunes but as long as she only burn combatants during a actualy fight its not a war crime.
Its still frowned upon tough.
It's still frowned upon as a war crime. You can burn objects and buildings (which is also seen as bad, but less so) but it's considered a war crime to deliberately set people on fire with a flamethrower.
Also adding the hokuto_no_ken tag due to the quote used here, even if I'm tempted to change the wording to purge the unclean!

Well given the time, flamethrowers was not illegal during World War 2 as it was total war however they fall out usage by the early 2000s and by 2006 was banned completely
I'm speaking in present day terms, just as a GuP team would be working under present circumstances. They allow all 5anka to have radio - something that didn't exist in WW2 tanks.
Tanks did have radios during World War 2, By 1940 all the major powers had radio equipped tanks however the Germans had two way radios in their tanks allowing better coordination amongst tanks while the other nations, the radios were more one way where the command tanks sends messages to the other tanks in the unit however they couldn't reply back. Also it is not uncommon for tanks to be reequipped with better electronics. The British did it with their earlier models
The treaty only mentions the use of incendiary weapons in relation to civilians or civilian objects.
The reason why it's not used by ground troops nowadays is its questionable effectiveness and the negative public reaction to burning combatants with fire. However, that could all change, especially if there's another huge war.

Yes, but the point is that the Senshado people allow tanks to be refitted as long as it doesn't affect their performance in mechanical terms and it doesn't endanger anyone (which is why they've put that magical carbon armor in these old tanks.
A flamethrower would violate the spirit of senshado as it's only designed to kill people, not stop tanks. Plus they don't even begin to subscribe to making the girls live in 1940s war conditions - why would they allow you to use weapons designed to killing infantry and crew? At least the machine guns stand a small chance to dent armor. They also don't seem to allow use of anti-tank grenades, Panzerfausts or bazookas due to their lack of p, urpose in a sport of tanks stopping other tanks.
For the "tankery" stuff to work out without a bunch of fatalities, more of the damage would have to be simulated than they have in the show. I recall a scene where after taking a hit, some of the students had to put out a fire inside their tank. In reality, having a fire in a confined space like that is extremely dangerous. (A fire can keep burning at oxygen concentrations (at standard temperature and pressure) well below what a human can survive.) It's probably not the kind of hazard you should intentionally expose yourself to without the right equipment and signing a whole bunch of paperwork!
Even driving a tank around can be as dangerous as driving a car or other motor vehicle. You can bust through a lot of stuff in a vehicle weighing dozens of tons, but if you ram into something big enough bring the tank to a dead stop (like the side of a canyon maybe), it's just like crashing a car into a concrete wall, and I don't recall them wearing seatbelts or anything.
Talking about the spirit of Tankery, if you guys want to see a real fucked up version of GuP, check this out. There are three parts. Although it looks like it, it really isn't hentai. There is nudity and sex in each chapter but it seems a bit forced. I actually found this artist through a comic store in my area (probably illegal copies of scanlations, so I didn't buy it) and he really has some interesting stuff going on. Parody of IRL situations and makes you think. I just wish he would drop the nudity. I literally read his stuff for the plot.

Ah, good 'ol Takotsuboya. When GuP first came out, I remember thinking, "Well I sure hope Takotsuboya doesn't do a doujin on them...". Several months later, "FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU-" ヽ(`Д´)ノ

Rant:
It's fucking Takotsuboya and fucked-up is his bread and butter. He had that one success with K-ON, and now he sticks to this schtick like gum on the fucking shoe. I get the feeling that he is just trying to be as offensive as possible, everything else is not important. As long as his shit shocks you and leaves you with that strong urge of taking a long goddamn bath, he wins and he gets his money. He probably thinks he's making fucking Schindler's List, all those intense display of cruelty are supposed to make you think. The problem is in his case it's more like that scene in Duke Nukem Forever, where girls got raped by aliens then torn to pieces, the only thought you would probably have is "somebody should really stop smoking horse diarrhea." Fucking Z grade creator.
End of rant.
BTW, I really think that's a Hokuto no Ken reference, I doubt ido knows anything about Warhammer 40K. Correct me if I'm wrong.
For what its worth, I do respect your point, and am willing to say that I agree with most of them. BTW that K-ON work is actually pretty good IMHO, minus the obvious exploitation parts.

I just read that as per your suggestion and that was a masterpiece. Really good look at inferiority and superiority, the line of success and failure and what it truly constitutes. Honestly, I'm going to have my kid read that one day (naughty bits censored of course). There are some serious life lessons to be learned from it.

Why would you use a burning super-soaker when you can just use a thermobaric rocket that does the same job and more over much longer range?
