I've hit people directly with the flamethrower (or the general position they're in) and I get no kill. It doesnt seem to want to kill anyone if they're more than 10m away.

considering I regularly get lit up like a christmas tree from people shooting flames 25 meters away over my head I think the lamer is fine and one of you were lagging. I've run through lamers and bayoneted them a few times but it happens extremely rarely.
Thus before the tide of comments floweth from thyne intranets, the vast majority of people would disagree with the underpowered part.
Max range of the flamethrower is roughly 25 metres in game, chances are you hit someone who had perhaps just spawned on their Squad Leader. Or you got unlucky with lag.
...if they're more than 10m away.
But what really annoys me is the fact that I can shoot flamers long before they see me, in the head to, and they still do not die even when they are stationary like they have shielding on or something
I've seen people say this before, but never noticed it myself. Is there any evidence for this?
