Come on, they alreaddy required skill and luck to use ffs
Edit: r absolutely right folks, aint no skill needed to flame point yet this is another example of punish all for the sins of few, in style with the autocannon nerf(tht DF yet refuse to unroll)
I’d say that’s debatable. They don’t require more skill than average SMG (probable less).
Hi, you seem to have made a wrong turn and missed your exit into the bizzaro world! Please take exit 68 east on i-95!
Flamers never required skill to use. You could literally just swing your mouse around on a point and clear it out and prevent anyone else from getting back onto it.
The flamethrower did nothing wrong!
They nerfed it because now players spam map with 3 squads all the time.
SMGs don’t instantly remove your ability to fight back unless you’re straight up dead
Flamer shitters had it too easy for too long
Though my suggested change was simply limiting your horizontal turn speed while firing the flamethrower to prevent the Han behavior that is throwing your mouse left and right while running about like a spastic
GJ/DF, more nerf on flammers?! Had nothing better to do ?
You point and hold M1, that is how you use flamethrowers, that is not skill, that is just basic movement to look at something and hold down a button
W + M1 going hard these days.
Flamethrowers do not deserve a nerf.
But - developers had must add paratroopers with flamethrowers to please Axis players.
Now they figured out that this was unbalanced so now all flametroopers are getting punished.
If they’re not gonna straight up remove flamers, nerfing them’s the next best thing. I watch people bitch about German tanks, and western planes, and automatics, and that shit’s all a problem sometimes, but the flamers are only ever fun for the one bastard spamming them.
Yes, but guys with tanks on their backs are always targetted at first place, so playing a flametrooper requires a skill to even get close to the objective.
With flametrooper-paratroopers it requires absolutely nothing.
You make a good point, I forgot about considering the basic skill of walking forward 
So if you don´t play flametrooper you don´t try to get to the objective without getting killed? You could also just scout ahead with a rifleman or something and hide your squad behind corners until you´re at the objective. Depending on map it´s really not that hard.
DF love this, think bout t60-pz2-ab41
Funnily enough this is also how I use the 100 round Thompson.
No no no, you don’t understand. Bullet hose and flame hose is not the same thing when it comes to skill.
They also need to work on the illumination in door, in some of the map when someone using flame thower inside a building, no body could see anything
So can we have Italian Folgore Paratroopers lowered to BR III where they belong (if not II), now?
Just going to leave this clip here from before the nerfs.
WP is worse than smoke grenade…
