The “Red Skies” update is almost here! While the development team is finishing work on the update, we are describing another useful game mechanic coming to War Thunder tank battles in the upcoming “Red Skies” release.
Now light tanks and squadmates can help extinguish fires. The new mechanic works in a similar way as repair assistance: you need to drive up to a burning vehicle, wait for the indicator of assistance for firefighting, and after holding the help button, the ally will stop burning. In this case, one kit of fire-fighting equipment on the helper tank will be depleted.
The new mechanic works for burning tanks that are not able to extinguish the fire on their own - the FPE kit has run out or has not yet been installed. The firefighting assistance function makes light tanks even more useful on the battlefield, as well as improving the survivability of allies in a squad.

Yay, another change that only benefits squads and gives them more of an advantage over solo players
Gasp!!!!! The horror, the horror.
make it same as crew, you can reload 2 more but just 1 time, so no camping on zone and no burn to death, I am not gonna waste a FPE on another tank :D
took your damn time
It can not be overstated how importent this is as a change. It will both reward teamplay as well making the game much more bearable in stock vehicles. While I hoped to see a feature like this years ago I am more than happy to see it finally implemented. This and the stock missiles are 2 of the most important reasons why I am looking foreward to the patch. Please continue adding much needed gameplay changes like this.
This is a nice idea but either the light tanks need more fire extinguishers, need to be able to resupply them or tanks need more in general. Some tanks you see have extra extinguishers on the sides but you cant use them
How about this on every 3 kills or 3 assists made, when u touch the capture point to reload the 1 fire extinguishing fires?
Just make Parts and FPE free, like we've been asking for YEARS.
