I have never seen a 2s38 die to fuel explosion, does that happen often?

From a player that have played the 2s38 for the past 2 weeks,yeah it’s a very common, Especially when they shoot you in the low plate

The main idea of the fuel tank on the BMP-3 chassis be placed at the front is purely to work as protection.

But since in-game we don’t have a specific vehicle’s module function like the T-90M “external” fuel tank don’t should explode because in real life it’s sealed if I’m not mistaken,

In-game we work on RNG, will explode? But if so, will knockout the crew? Yes? You’re destroyed. Else, a temporary fire inside the vehicle or a damaging fire in need of a extinguisher.

last 3 2s38s ive killed died by fuel explosion

I’ve killed a few with a fuel explosion.

However. It was also the result of a penetration by a Tow 2 and/or an APFDS so it was probably dying anyways.

Just killed a few 2S38 with Roland 3. I like it.

This happens on every tank with external fuel tanks. Abrams, for example.

They go on fire and don’t kill all the crew like on the 2s38
