A test was carried out to see if a tank runs faster if he is on fire... Does it really run faster when on fire?

Also to help lighten the mood, the race music is played to Mario 64...

Well setting him on fire in Expert does make a world of difference when he has a gazillion hit points then... but I've always wondered this myself

I always felt it loses speed in versus mode when on fire, and it's not so negligible, speed is everything when you have to melee.

^ Agreed. Some claim the Tank can be killed more easily in Campaign with fire if he's not aggroed, but speed is so essential (in campaign or versus) that to me it's not always worth the risk.

At least on the 360 lighting up the tank will always kill him (no gunfire required) - you just have to wait (and run away) in the meantime. Circling around buses and buildings does the trick for me.

Once you set the tank on fire it starts a countdown; his death isn't based on hit points at that point in time, but rather how long he's been on fire.
