- Yes
- No
(This suggestion and my remarks do not take into account portable flamethrowers such as the Lanciaflamme Mod.41 for obvious reasons).
Guys, guys, let’s be serious, 5m.
Who thought it was relevant, or even realistic, to make the flamethrower a secondary weapon and add a primary weapon, and on top of that, to exponentially reduce the flamethrower’s damage?
There is a myth that I would like to point out.
No, it is impossible to blow up a soldier equipped with a flamethrower with standard ammunition; only high-rate-of-fire weapons can do that, and even then, you would have to be really unlucky.
And to achieve this in one fell swoop, incendiary ammunition would certainly be needed, which does not exist in Enlisted, just like tracer bullets which are also absent from the game.
It is therefore pointless to request soldiers equipped with explosive flamethrowers as long as this type of ammunition does not exist.
Next, I would like to clarify that a soldier equipped with a flamethrower could not have a second weapon other than a pistol.
Simply because flamethrowers can weigh over 30 kilos, which is enormous.
As a general rule, in a squad there was only one soldier equipped with a flamethrower due to the logistics of the weapon, and most importantly, a single soldier equipped with a flamethrower was totally dependent on his team to protect him until he reached his objective.
Which brings me to the second point: the possibilities for building the team.
For this squad to be realistic, it would need 3 assault soldiers, a machine gunner, and 1 flamethrower soldier, not 2. Furthermore, since flamethrower soldiers can now carry more fuel and resupply with ammunition from crates, their management is simplified. Finally, the composition does not include engineers; they therefore depend on other players or the prior deployment of a supply crate.
Many will point out that two soldiers are needed to complete the squad. To that, I would reply that two riflemen can be added, because at higher levels, there is, for example, the M1 Garand with an AP grenade launcher for the Americans, the Kar98 with a GGP/40 for the Germans, the Mosin M91/30 VPGS for the Russians, and the Type 99 rifle for the Japanese.
or allow the possibility of putting a gunboat and a radio operator on board to replace at least 2 of the riflemen.
(to stay in the spirit of enlisted)
therefore an anti-tank capability is present.
In summary:
3 assault soldiers (or 2 to avoid any imbalance in the game)
1 machine gunner for cover 1 flamethrower soldier, equipped only with their flamethrower and a sidearm This implies a slight increase in their current damage output due to their low survivability.
2 riflemen to complete the squad, or add a third if an assault soldier is removed.
(I hope my explanation is understandable because, with Google Translate censoring everything that mentions weapons, it was quite difficult)!
