make it so you cant shoot while you’re on fire because if your on fire in real life then the pain would be so intense that you would do anything to get the fire off you. So make it so that when your on fire you drop your weapon and start rolling around on the ground and if you don’t get on the ground and roll then you automatically die after 5 seconds of waiting

cmiiw, but bots actually stop shooting when on fire, right? they’ll try to extinguish. They one that still shoot is real player.
if you want to make flamethrower more deadly. disallow to shoot when on fire would be enough. no need for insta-kill.

yes but that was one of the main advantage of the the flamer irl, people DID not want to be anywhere near one, both friend or foe, the fear of dying to a flamer was overwhelming

So was the machine gun fire, but not being able to leave your position Is not a very fun game mechanic.

7

and so was rifles being able to kill form upwards of 800 meters and bombs that could wipe whole areas upto 70 meters away
but yet the one thing the makes a flamer a flamer in terms of combat is “not fun” ?

8

basically yes

in fact they nerfed them

9

its a myth that rolling help put out fire.

10

no they were already at only about 40meters then they nerfed them, they never had their REAL world range

I agree that flamethrower are shit rn but I don’t see a real way to make them good and balanced.

Like bombs even nerfed already they were quite OP even if semi realistic.

I gave molotovs to T-34 crew in Berlin. It looks hilarious when they are bailing out of the tank with bottles in hands. So much immersion!

Well in real life it can take up to 10 minutes to die from burning alive. Flame throwers usually kill by burning all the oxygen around the person, sofocating them very fast just in a few seconds, faster than drowning, or other means.

not me, i’m built different

That’s not realistic at all- if you’re burning alive you’re not going to be shooting.
