It’s no different then the sten mkii or the m3 grease gun. I’m so baffled as to why they felt it was a teir 4 gun. The sten and m3 are tier 1 i believe. This is a huge difference in tiers for essentially the same gun. It really should be lower, there’s no argument for tier 4 based on the gun itself. If the rating is based off the squad and not the gun then it should be tier 3 max as the flamethrower is BR 3.

Normal flamethrowers only have 2 in their squad, OG-43 boys have 6, and they do flamethrower 2 damage, BR IV for them is completely fair

Nevermind, we already faced drum Tommys with our trusty OG-43, we can face PPSHs and assault rifles with our trusty OG-43.
They have HALF the fuel, so therefore it’s more equivalent 3 flame troopers. It is a paid premium squad after all as well. They should be special. Either way, the rating is on the gun not the flame throwers. And the argument is that the gun is not a tier 4 gun. Raising it to 4 almost demands using the flamethrowers to compete against everything else in tier 4 and 5, making the rest of the drop box obsolete.
Free event squad, and you can always reload the flamethrower with an ammo box

My mistake it’s not a paid premmy, but event squad. Which still should be special. Got it confused with the other tunisia premmy flamer squads which has 4 full tanks and would argue is incredibly more deadly then the OG43 with half fuel tanks.
Wait what?! That has never happened for me. Is it supposed to be like for all flamer troops?
Being able to refill is bit too much. I didn’t know that happened, and not sure I’ve ever gotten a chance to check in game. Know it doesnt work for me with regular ones.
You need the flamethrower to have 0 ammo to be refilled with ammobox.

With all flamer troops or jusr specifically the para ones? I know for a fact I’ve hit an ammo crate with zero fuel on other regular squads before and have no gotten more
Flamethrowers have no reload animation nor sound. After resupplying, you need to press “R”, then it will take a few seconds for the weapon to be reloaded.

Im on console. I will test today.
Normal flamethrower has 300 ammo pool while the OG43 one has 100
By comparison
Italian Para is 6x100
Tier 1 flammer 2x300
Tier 2 flammer 2x200
Premium flammer 4x200
And Para Flammer has tier 1 range
Either make the OG43 use 50rnd mags or drop with the flammer, they don’t deserve to be in BR4 at all

All my regular flame troops have 200 fuel, not 300

They deserve.
Paratroopers with flamethrowers is a so dumb idea, that it should never be implemented in the game.

What faction is that? I play u.s. and im almost positive the first one comes with 200 fuel
Then they need to change the rating mechanic somehow. The flamethrower is not tied to the OG 43. However the rating is specifically tied to the OG 43. I don’t even really play germans, so this isn’t bias. I main u.s.
