stop spouting false information if you don't know what you are talking about.

crisped zeds hitboxes are much harder to hit as sharpshooter, that is a fact.

i would love to see you efficiently mow down heads as m14 sharp with a firebug spamming fire.

I don't mow down heads at all as sharp though. If I wanted to mow down big groups then I would play switch perk to something that is suited for it. Like FB or supp.
And if I had a FB setting everything on fire in my team then why should I shoot at the clots with my 9mm?
With the "I want every kill! I must kill that 1hp clot so that te FB doesn't get the kill!" mentality you are just being egoistic and unnecessary.
Just don't shoot burning stuff. If 3 clots gets close before they burn down then they will be killed by a single body shot. And the supp is the one who makes sure that no zed gets that close.

Maybe your situation is often occurring and legit. Then tell me why you camp with a FB and still try to "mow down heads as m14 sharp".

Because with sc and fp the hitboxes aren't any harder to hit with that xbow/m99. Sharp and FB is an excellent qombination as long as the sharp focuses on big stuff and fb focuses on small stuff imho.

Don't qomplain about not being able to kill the scrake as FB when you team up with a sharp. That's just silly. And you don't, right? But with your strategy I presume you give sc and fp to the FB? I mean if you qoncentrate on trash then someone else has to take big stuff.

when a pub firebug joins the game, you have no option BUT to camp with them, unless you decide to kick them straight away, which i personally do not like doing. i give them a chance to see if how they play, if they are the type of firebug that hoses down the hall/corridor, blinding the rest of the team members, and lighting scrakes/FPs on fire so they crisp up and dance, then yes i let them handle the big zeds. this usually results in a ragequit from said firebad. if they are actually decent firebugs and conservative on the flames, then i let them do their thing. scrake and FP take downs with the m14/lar is much more difficult if the zed is dancing about, especially with FPs as the hitbox is very particular. also a competent m14 sharp can easily take on big zeds and trash, but with a firebug crisping zeds like sirens and husks, it can make things much more difficult for the sharpshooter. bow and m99 dont count, they're easy as pie to headshot anything with.

Well I qan understand husks, but sirens? I mean if a FB attacks a qlose siren then said FB kills the siren 0.5sec later. They go down from flames if you hold down that button for a short moment. They have body hp like a Gorefast.

Well I don't know what they are doing if they aren't killing them...

I'm a firegood so don't worry q:
If you hold down the button and hose down the corridor qonstantly then you won't have ammo for the whole wave.
Why would anyone, any perk, do that?

beats me but ive seen plenty who do. also those who leave crisped sirens which look strikingly similar to crisped clots until they start screaming :(
