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.

Darjeeling is now a commissar.

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.
Well definitely he does draw people in for the shock factor, but I think his works are self aware enough where he knows he isn't really making a totally original work and instead piecing together a parody of movies and events with the veneer of moe moe kyun~. Its bad, but it isn't really senseless gore and violence, its pretty mild compared to really senseless snuff and guro artists. A couple things that struck me as pretty original (or at least rarely portrayed concepts) was the judges standing by blankly to the violence even to the extent of some of their own being killed (reference to the Swiss to playing both sides of conflicts and making war into a game) and Yukari's final words where even though she saw the horrors of war, she could still say she thought tanks were cool. A lot of people see those with PTSD and think that war is so bad, you have to get PTSD or you are not sane and you are a psychotic sadist, and that anyone egar to fight is automatically naive. I met guys who went through torture, lost legs, and lost best friends in conflicts. Yet they still would go back into combat if allowed and don't get hallucinations when shooting guns on their free time because they see that they are fighting for a cause and making a difference. Warfare is definitely not fun, it is tiring and stressful, but people do it because we are motivated by the goal of protecting our people and our interests. The problem is that we have administrations and people in the media who have an irrational fear of any conflict, and constantly teach the new generation that they are fighting for nothing, they are the bad guys, and they better cry after they rightfully shot a man who killed several other people. It's insane, and people wonder why we are getting more PTSD cases... To fight, you have to adopt that seemingly blind optimism to keep you going during the rough times, and desensitization isn't bad, it is just you recognizing that you would rather the enemy die and suffer over you or your friends... but yeah. Anyways, I still like his works, I just wish he would drop the nipple shots, extra sex scenes, and all that. He really isn't making hentai.
Just like the Israelis who use 10/22s for less than lethal appendicular shots on muslim rioters at their borders. "It's LL, so it's fine too~". Got to love that, they know how to fight wars in this PC era.
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?

Are there rules in senshado and what are they or where can I see them and what type of weapons are allowed and what artifacts or upgrade accessories for the tank are allowed?
