Title says it all. I was on the Battle Arena server when a Challenger strolled up next to me. I threw a molotov hoping I might get lucky when to my amazing luck the whole tank blew up!

I also noticed a similar effect of destructible buildings. I threw on at a Brit who was inside of a building and the whole thing came crashing down. Its a cool effect but hardly realistic.

Bashra eh o.o

Obviously you havnt seen the full potential of the Molotov, the Molotov's main purpose is AT imo, somewhere between H-AT and L-AT, i'v personally blown up 2 apc's with a Molotov, eventually, sometimes APC's and challengers are totally oblivious to the fact the are ontop of a pit of flame, and they end up exploding and being sworn at for wasting an asset.

IMO, the Molotov should stay the way it is.

This has been reported before. Andi ts not a bug. It has been designed to be an anti-tank weapon. And from [R-Dev]Spearhead:
It's not intended to kill them this fast but it has been around since 0.6 and has not been fixed in a satisfying way yet. As far as I remember those cocktails pose a threat to the engine but I'm not sure if anyone improved the resistance on those recently.
