This has a been a bug for god knows how long and the devs either willfully ignore it or just don’t care. Flames should not be going through concrete walls.

They fixed it decently a while back. Is it back again?
Were the flames from a molotov, flamethroer, or the new planes?
I’ve also noticed that WP smoke still damages thru walls and floors despite the recent fix.
I won’t assume intentions here, maybe it’s just a hard thing to fix in this game engine. Regardless of why, it’s still a problem that affects gameplay so hopefully they continue to work on it

Oh so the intended “feature” is back to the table lmao
i dont think they fixed that ever. they fixed one other bug with flamethrower.
From my understanding that part is intended. (Though I do think it should be tweaked a little bit so it doesn’t get inside a building when there are absolutely no gaps it should be getting through.)
The intention is that its an option to use to clear out areas with dense cover, without destroying the cover (so you can make use of it).
There was a bug fix a little while back that fixed “flames going through walls/ being caught on fire through a wall”.
This definitely happens. Reminds me of N64 Goldeneye days where explosions go through walls. Also I’ve noticed when throwing smoke grenades and hallways that smoke often doesn’t appear in that room but shows up in a room where the grenade isn’t at. Very weird.
I sure hope you’re wrong. I’ve been away from the game for a while, and this update was one of the things that made me wanna boot it back up. Haven’t seen many flamers in action yet. Please say it’s at least a little better!
I wouldn’t say it is. Fire still goes through concrete walls on the regular so if that annoys you, get ready to be annoyed lol.
The flames were specifically a flamethrower setting people on fire inside a bunker when the flametrooper was outside of the bunker and wasn’t shooting in an opening.
The best thing I can suggest is put a bug report in and talk to either @Shiivex , @Euthymia07 , or @EdVanSchleck .
They are pretty good about helping with bug issues, especially if its something that is SUPPOSED to have been fixed.
Thank you for the ping.
OP the issue is known. Gaijin.net // Issues (this report states pacific , dont mind that, the core issue was forwarded)
Can share the opinion of shiv.
It’s known. No worries.
so they fixed shooting flamethrower through walls, not setting walls on fire. so if you went to thin wall you could just set other room on fire with flame jets.
yes like clipping the Flamethrower inside a wall, so the point of the flamethrower tube would appear on the other side of the wall
