Anyone managed to set the Spitfires fuel tank (in front of the cockpit) on fire???

[novicebutdeadly]

I was wondering if anyone has managed to do this, 

 

I remember watching a documentary where they talked about how a fuel tank fire made bailing out harder (after all who wants to open the canopy to flames!!),

 

but so far I haven't managed to do this (I haven't tried specifically to do this, but also can't remember if I have seen a Spitfire on fire in game).

Its not that hard.

I've been set alight plenty of times including, blown up, wings shredded, killed and engine destroyed aha

Its not that hard if you're not a terrible shot.

I have mostly flown the Spit in SP and the AI rarely has a chance against a human flown Spit, so I never actually experienced this type of fire myself.

 

It must be terrifying to have that blaze right in your face

hehe I just learn another abbreviation.

Im not skilled in these slang words.  Sometimes it seems to me that I must be really old.

I have my engine destroyed by a flailing Spitfire wing..... still glided her home :-)

Its not that hard.

 

I'm def not the best aim at times (more of a machete instead of a scalpel)

 

For some reason I thought the fire would originate further aft of the engine

 

For a latter model though:
