Perhaps, Flame Throwing Troops could explode in flames when they are killed, toasting all those near bye, both friendly and enemy.
When the gastank gets shot, why not.
As warhead said, but I’d also add just when the tank takes a direct hit dealing at least 8 damage or higher, so it’s a possibility but not so common. Flametroopers shouldn’t suddenly become walking bombs.
Also, for balance reasons, I’d keep the effects of the explosion toned down to the size of a current Molotov blast.
Burst into flames not explode, and that’s a 50/50 at best
In reality, hitting a Flameman’s fuel tank will only lead to leakage rather than explosion.
Rather than Flameman’s fuel tank, I think killing soldiers around by real tank(like Panther and T-34) ammunition explosion should be considered more
I’m so glad that not every one is an idiot
When the guy with flamethrower dies from explosions, he could leave a burning puddle around him.
But explosion is a BS from the physical point of view.
Being able to shoot the flamer’s tank and have him burst or have the weapon disabled, it would add a lot of new risk/reward factors to playing the class. It should come to the game eventually.
