Standard Equipment Loadout Like with every other armored vehicle, the crew should ALWAYS equip themselves with a Gas Mask and multiple Filters to avoid dying to Gas Grenades. Additionally, they should bring a Hammer and Basic Materials to repair the vehicle. These tactics can be buffed by wearing either a Tank Uniform or an Engineer Uniform.
Replacing a timing belt and water pump requires a good understanding of engines, so if you are not that experienced working under the hood, it is best to leave it to the pros.
Its main armament, the flamethrower, is a niche tool. When used directly against infantry, it can become one of the fastest kill tools (right behind explosions, which will instantly kill a player). While it is tempting to charge hunkering infantry, it's better to flush them out with fire and heat. The near-nonexistent damage and quick emptying of a canister forces the crew to conserve ammunition against flammable targets. Setting enemy structures ablaze will also deny enemy infantry their use, slowly damaging it and preventing them from repairing it. Firing an entire magazine in one go at any Tier 2 structure takes 20 seconds and always creates a self-sustaining medium-intensity fire on it.
The layout and process of replacing the water pump and timing belt may differ in your car. You should only carry out the work if you are confident working with engines. When in doubt, it is best to consult a professional mechanic.
When having the timing belt replaced at a reputable service center, the service often includes replacing the tensioner and idler rollers. The technician will also inspect the crankshaft and camshaft seal, replacing them if necessary. It is also common for this service to include replacing the water pump as well. Although this is not related to engine timing, the water pump is exposed during a timing belt replacement, so replacing it will save you money later.
Replacing the timing belt is part of regular auto maintenance and should be performed between 70,000-110,000 miles. The cost to replace the belt depends on the type of car you are driving, but the average rate typically costs $500 to $1100However, replacing a broken timing belt may cost up to $2,000 or more if it has caused damage to the valves, pistons, or water pump.
The O'Brien V.130 Wild Jack (also known as a Flame Armored Car or Flame AC) is a Warden Armored Car with improved off-road mobility and equipped with a flamethrower.

The O'Brien V.130 Wild Jack is a lightly armored car designed to combat infantry and light structures on fire. In terms of mobility, it has decent on-road speed and slightly worse off-road speed, which gives it greater flexibility in where it can effectively fight (in addition to its movement not being affected by snow storms). Along with its slow-turning turret, it is better to stay on roads so the crew can react faster if they're being flanked (though this is slightly mitigated). Additionally, due to its low health, a single anti-tank mine will nearly destroy it.
AC Effectiveness over the Course of the War Similar to all armored cars, as soon as heavier anti-armor weapons become more common, (such as anti-tank rifles) the O'Brien V.130 Wild Jack loses most of its relevance on the front line, as they will quickly be destroyed, as longer ranged weapons prevent the crew from reacting fast enough before being destroyed. However, due to its armament, it is still a formidable opponent when operated by a competent crew.
The O'Brien V.130 Wild Jack has 1250 HP and is disabled under 30% health. It has "Light Armor" resistance: it can soak small arms fire and shrapnel, and it is immune to Flamethrowers. It can soak 12.7mm machine gun fire but not for long. Heavy explosives and anti-tank weaponry are an extremely dangerous threat to it.It has Tank Armor. With it, in best case scenario, penetrating projectiles only have a 85% chance of penetrating and doing damage. That chance goes up quickly if the armor is worn or if it is shot from up close, or on the side or rear from a direct angle, or with ammo that has penetration bonuses.It takes 115 Basic Materials to fully repair it from 1% to 100% health with a Hammer. Its health and Tank Armor can be instantly repaired at a Garage for 100 Basic Materials.
It can be packaged into a medium Shippable and transported by any Shipping Vehicle (Crane, Flatbed Truck, Barge, Freighter, Storage Ship, Landing Ships, Flatbed Car, or Large Crane).
The timing belt itself is not an expensive part. It is the time and labor cost that makes it so expensive. Parts of the engine have to be removed to complete the service. Doing so takes significant time and effort. Also, replacing the timing belt involves setting the timing and putting the engine back together.
