Noticed that when using the flamethrower players/AI can shoot you even as they are literally being blasted with fire. Not that a single flamethrower should be able to clear a whole hangar on Airfield, but someone aiming, shooting and killing you while his face is being melted off is a bit much.

Are you honestly suggesting I’m bad at the flamethrower?
Yea, that is entirely possible.
But still, if there are people who have noticed this issue I’d like to know.
I pretty much main flamethrower (i know)
This game has one of the best flamethrowers in video games. However its still very far away from what it would be like IRL. So you dont have the smoke , the stickyness , the ability to bounce it around corners and completely immolate rooms.
The most common way i die as flamethrower is the person gets a shot off before i can light them up.
I very rarely get rekt by people who are on fire.
Ah, right. I don’t mean so much when they are on fire (like when they are properly on fire and have to put it out), but just that moment when you’re blasting them. Doesn’t it take a second for them to catch on fire? In that second they shouldn’t be able to shoot you, is what I’m saying.
i have not been actually set on fire by an enemy player yet lol
i dont even know what its like but if you hit them with a blast and it connects it kills them almost instantly
Shooting while on fire should not be possible at all.
The way it works now is ridiculous. Had a match where a “shot” an enemy with my flamethrower standing 5 meters away from me in the face.
While his eyes, face and brain was being fried by 1000°C burst of fire he casually killed me.
That should not have happened.

On second thought. Sure. Go ahead
Getting shot while immolating people is extremely common and the fact you have to focus people for 2-3 seconds each with the center of the napalm spray really just makes it worthless
Should be like RS1’s flamethrower
Yeah lol, the flamethrower in all honesty is kinda meh besides the meme factor.

Half the time it’s probably an AI, they often calmly kill flamers while being on fire and about to die “This is fine”.
The other half is probably people hip firing to try and kill you before they burn to death.
I think there’s a 1-2 second time at the start of “shooting” wit ha flamethrower where it is not doing any damage at all, but the graphic is going - that is probably the issue.
Lol very true.
It doesn’t even need to instantly kill, but a direct hosing should definitely guarantee setting immediately enemies on fire, which in turn should become a totally incapacitating condition like being downed, until the fire is put out.
