A flamethrower should light up the surroundings (specially inside the buildings)

When you are using a flamethrower inside a building, you have to deal with a double issue:

  1. The excessive and unrealistic darkness of the interiors of many buildings.
  2. A flamethrower unable to light up a room but perfectly capable of dazzle your eyes .

So I ask to the developers:
Why don´t you use the plane crash light effect in the flamethrowers? Yeah, the same light effect that light up everything in the surroundings (even inside the buildings) when a plane crash.
And by the way, fix the unrealistic light balance of this game.

I think the idea is the flames are so bright it drowns everything else out, but I agree it should light a room.

The real problem is, while you and your enemy (player) sees nothing, a stupid AI sitting in a corner can easily oneshot you.

Flamethrowers are also seemingly bugged at the moment. They appear to not use their proper animation for firing. For whatever reason, it seems they’re using the flame tank animations. Explains why the flame jet blinds the player and does not flow around smoothly anymore.
