Flamethrowers

[Tagemandbagem]

Just leave it alone...let people adapt to and learn the game before we judge. I think it's great.

Using the flamethrower is quite difficult. How often have you seen one lead the points/kills list??? http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=90970

Anytime I play as that class I'm in the top one or two. And if I'm second that's only because the SL gets points for people spawning on him (which pretty much makes the scoreboard redundant).

Atleast flamethrowers are flamthrowers not superhuman people who can sprint ancd charghe despite having a bullet in the head:IS2:

Well, since FT can point the flames towards a stone wall within 2mt from it and leave without getting even slightly burned (killing 10 enemies positioned behind that wall in the process), I'd say they are also in the superhuman division.

I doubt FT were the most lethal elements in an american platoon. In RS they are. Why? Because they are completely OP and their job is far from what they had in WWII.

Dude you must get burned up a LOT since 23% of all your posts concern FT OP!

Now you're bringing solid arguments!

I get more kills with the BAR tbh. FF is really fine as is, but yes make it less flamey and more liquid flamey.

The flamethrower should be a deadly weapon as it was in the real war. I play exclusively Japanese (when the teams aren't full and as soon as a spot opens up, I go Japan).

I seriously hope they remove them from defensive maps however. I honestly think the knee mortar should be reduced a bit as well (I wouldn't mind getting TK'd less).

However, anytime someone sees a flamethrower people will call out on the mic where they are so people can target them. It's a very vulnerable class, much like the machine gun. I only wished they weren't used on defensive maps. It is absolutely game breaking when you try to get on a point (after a meat grinding experience), to finally possibly cap an objective when someone clicks the left mouse button and everyone is engulfed in flames with no effort.

I agree.
