So yesterday evening I got kicked out of 79th for (inadvertent) teamkilling while using the flamethrower on PdH rather, erm, carelessly. Which motivated me to start this topic. (Yes, I care only about things that go boom or burn, see my satchel thread and extensive posting in the Panzerfaust thread.)
- Against infantry. This seems to be quite random (for me). Sometimes even brushing the flames is enough to instakill (at least me, lol). Sometimes you have to bar-b-q the enemy for several seconds before a kill is awarded, if any. Is this due to lag?
- Against vehicles (Lüttich). No succesfull kills yet (haven't tested eg. against empty friendlies in singleplayer, since I can ask here
), but it
does seem to freak the living daylights out of tank drivers, whether it causes damage or not. Of course, any tank riders on the deck do become crispy critters in the process.
- Memo to self: do not run forwards while firing the flamethrower.
- Second memo to self: do not expect that the flame will go through the bocage, especially if you are standing with your nose to the bushes.
- THE weapon for epic staircase fights in the Lüttich church. Might be useful in the cityfight, too, IF one survives long enough to carry it there?
- So it only spawns on the LCAs in PdH. Would it be worthwhile to get one there (spawn, get grappling hook kit, shoot rope, get flamer kit, climb, walk across half the map only to be shot by an unseen sniper) to aid in taking the hard-to-cap Farm?
Comments? Suggestions?
