they’re too busy being on fire to shoot back

i realized that on even fight event on stalingrad… imagine 20 players with flamethrowers that can throw 30 meters of flame…
The ones outside the zone would probably kill you, not necessarily the ones in the zone
That’s how it should be though?
FT should devastate everything in CQC. The best counter to it is to not let it get close.
Although imo flametrooper shouldn’t have rifle but it’s not possible because of AI that is shit.

obviously you use a flame thrower only in cqc close points
Meh. I just dislike how easy it is to kill tanks with them.
Imo only molos should damage tanks (and maybe flamer tanks).
Weirdly I’ve never had much problem with flame troopers
Maybe all the ones I’ve encountered were incompetent, but shooting in the direction of the flames always worked for me, even in close quarters I managed to kill the flame troopers after being put on fire a couple times
The only adjustment I’d make is to tone down the light and particle effects on the flame as they are too visually polluting

depends on the map… if you are on open terrain flame troopers arent so dangerous, but when you enter buildings they can be devastating… also their v2 is much more dangerous with its 32m range…
Well yes but actually no.
They do require good positioning, map knowledge, weapon practice. Its not like youll point it at the enemy, bam 20 kills. An SMG, MG or an AR are 10x more effective and are better.
im using them as an assaulter they work pretty well, rush the point get all on fire, hope the team is behind you.
And that’s exactly how FTs should be used.

since flamethrower got tweaked, they are in the best spot 
although… the first flamethrower still s u c c ( a bit ).
You are right they are cancer, but not because the enemy can just spin around in circles impervious to fire and kill everyone (although that is cancer enough as it is) It’s because your own teammates will do the same and kill you with them just as happily as the enemy does.
They should code in a random “fuel tank explodes killing your entire squad and kicking you from the game” event to make them more realistic.
Flamethrowers kick ass.
Last week I took my FT into the objective building, burned all 17 enemies inside to death and took the objective nearly single-handedly.
