Fire, the Flamethrower and You.

The flamer is good as it is... no point in adding flame effects... every thing's cool as it is...

Realistically, the flames should move faster, and have a effective range of 50-80 meters (165-270 feet). Unless your flamethrower shoots propane (ineffective and unsafe) instead of a flammable liquid, usually diesel or napalm.

if flamers can catch things on fire, aliens better get fire too and grenades

50-80 meters?!

You could fry a tyrant outside on atcs from from the time it leaves it's base and gets to yours!...just stand in the doorway!

Modern tank mounted flame-throwers can shoot that far.
Infantry ones are smaller, but still nothing to laugh at.

[Plague Bringer]

if we're gonna do that we're gonna have to increase the tyrant's forward slashing range, make dragoon barbs go straight, be hitscan, and do 50dmg to battlesuits, dretches have to be immune to everything but blasters, and granger spit has to blind, slow, deafen, poison, disorient, and instakill all hummies it hits...it also has to be able to take out an armoury in one hit.

Tremulous has no tanks, thus, no tank-mounted flamethrowers.

I was talking about the infantry flamers >_> if hummies had tank mounted flamers..dont even get me started..all i'd have to say about that is we'd need 5 more stages to balance that out

WWII Era Flamethrowers:
USA M2-2: 33 meter range.
German Flammenwerfer: 18 meters.
British Flamethrower, Portable, No 2: 36 meters.

yeah, current flame thrower doesnt do anything past 2 meters (this is a guestimate since i have never seen it in action side-on) 18 meters is the minimum there...i'm thinking a rant cant be more then a meter long...you'd be able to fry a rant 18 times by the time it kills you
