Flamethrowers fire excessively glowing and much uglier after the update

Before the Stalingrad update, the fire from the flamethrower looked beautiful, it was my favorite flamethrower FX of all the shooters I’ve played. The gasoline stream looked realistic, at first unburned with only slight blue flame starting, further it turned into a speeding fiery cone and widening into a fiery cloud at the end. It was perfect, and so satisfying to see every time. After the Stalingrad update, the glow from the flames is unrealistically excessive, almost blinding, also the flame looks stupidly wide and blocks all my view, and just after it the nozzle, it looks like a train of plasma balls from a Star Wars blaster, nothing like gasoline at least. Please, I beg you, switch to the last flamethrower FX that was before the update, there was no need to improve anything there, and it has been ruined anyway.

I loved the flamethrower pre-Stalingrad update, not it is horrible. Its just a gasoline fume fire ball! Its damage is so limited now that I swapped out my Flame squad as they were now ineffective. There is no distance to the flame, no accuracy. Not sure if they devs ever saw a video on the M2 but it was close, now its not.
