Everyone hates to be burned by a flamethrower, yet they are a very important part of the game and of course. Sometimes absolutely pleasure to use.
Could this be a thing?
You manage to hit the tanks on the back and the guy just… Well, it would happen as in the movie “Saving Private Ryan” and few guys nearby get also engulfed by the flames.
If the fuel cylinders were hit by a normal bullet, the mixture would just harmlessly leak out; incendiary bullets posed a bit more danger - According to reddit users
Unrealistic mechanics
If this was a rare occurrence type of mechanic, sure I wouldn’t mind it being in the game. It’d make things a bit more interesting and cinematic.
Maybe they should explode if they light them selves on fire (and get shot) LOL. Human Molotov
Irl the best you can get is an explosion of pressurised air. No fireball or anything like that.
Though DF seems to use their own understanding of physics so I expect them do add this to the game. Sadly.
If drop tanks can consistently explode in napalm-like fire when dropped then why not flamethrowers?
If we’re going to use Hollywood physics; hand grenades might as well explode into a massive fireball that can only be escapes by a well times cinematic leap to safety. When I’m down I’d also like a button to say “tell my wife… I love her!”
That’s only in Hollywood.
Realism is not important in video games. The most popular games are those with the most retarded mechanics (tank with disabled tracks is moving across the battlefield / adding a scope to the rifle increases its hit power).
If it looks good then I think it should be added.
Only if it will be an incendiary bullet and still not sure that’s needed. Will be very rare mechanic to use(would be look awesome imo, but not everyone is shooting flamethrower tanks, easier just to kill flamethrower soldier) but will take too much time to make it work(correcting hitboxes for flamethrower tanks, make code, effects. etc)
Given how overpowered FT are and their use was larely dependant on theatre where they actually used anythjng new tk make them be less ofa default…
Watching FT running arojnd piroetting out of windows spewing flame… esciaally with teams that realise they are losing…
I also dont get how fast they can run… whenni use a bazooka im reduced to walking pace… it should be at least the same with FT…
Add in that 1 squad haa Multiple FT… so even if you kill 1 youve got another couple to deal with.
