    The issue i have with the flamethrower is that the flames immediately disappear when you die. Meaning that you could have sprayed a general area, and if you get headshot part way through, it's all gone, like you were never there.

      Well it does burn for a second or two if you light up a hedge or wooden wall. Those can still set someone alight if they happen to be next to them, or walk into them. Problem is it only injures them and they have to bandage. Would be nice if it was a proper kill to be set alight.
      In fact that's what I try to do to get the kills, hope someone's prone inside or by a hedge, set fire to it from other side and hear them scream hehe.
      Yeah it's pretty useless really 😅

    Rising storm 2 did the flame thrower so good that every other game's rendition of it just sucks in comparison. For instance, the second flames would touch you, you'd drop your weapon and burn to death so the TTK was suuper fast AND the flames would bank around corners so clearing buildings and trenches was a breeze.

      It's sad... by the time RS2 fixed (EDIT: "fixed") their hacking issue, it was time to move onto RS: Vietnam, which didn't have hackers but did quickly have support dropped due to a buyout of Tripwire.

    It just needs to have the Rising Storm / Rising Storm 2: Vietnam flamethrower physics.

It also instantly killed upon contact with the flames and had excellent death animations for being burned with it.

  • @brendanhickey4955
    @brendanhickey4955 7 місяців тому +5

    Its just impractical because most matches people dont build fortifications and hold areas of the map often. So the need to clear out garrisoned buildings and fortifications are null most of the time. Its a load out that you switch too when the need arises but otherwise its really pointless. They need to tweak the supply requirements so people build more that would create a lot more dynamic situations where bringing a flamethrower would make sense and actually work

  • @JoeyJohnDoe688
    @JoeyJohnDoe688 6 місяців тому +6

    From my understanding of software development, the two biggest time sinks are bug fixing and fundamental functionality. The hard part of programming a flamethrower is the actual flames, and that's done already. Making the flames stay in the air after 20 meters would likely mean getting rid of code, getting the visuals right might be an issue though. I don't think that it would take much dev time to fix flamethrowers (depending on how the game is coded).
    And they seriously need to rework the XP system, I've never played a game with about as many loadout options as HLL where I couldn't get everything after 300 hours.

    @ookiemand 4 місяці тому +2

    Flamethrowers in war are used to clear confined spaces, it kills by flooding the space with CO (carbon monoxide) suffocating the people in the confined space, not by burning the enemy (which is slow). And since in the game people do not much use confined spaces to hold out in (extensive bunkers, sewers, cellars et.) It's a weapon in the wrong place.
    In order to make it more realistic and useful they can change this:
    - change the map to have more and bigger valuable (!) confined spaces people want to defend (be in!).
    - change the flame thrower's propeties to have a well telegraphed poison cloud effect (tunnel vision + suffocating sounds) in addition to a pain a disabling effect. When the sticky fuel lands it should create pools of fire that last a couple of minutes as the invisible poison cloud expands and later contracts.
    Somehow I think all of this is not going to happen as it requiers a lot, and players are used to playing a game a certain way.
    I think there is space for a different game with more planning and team-work, and less uncoordinated headless chicken noob runs. But then again it's challanging to directs those headless noobs into cohesive effective teams.

    Best way I’ve found to level up is to take support, jump in a supply truck and offer to drive your officer to build a garrison. Drop one crate after the first two squares, ask your officer to build an outpost nearby. Now take your officer to wherever he wants to build a garrison, and drive the truck back. Then redeploy on the op as an engineer and build your nodes. And then redeploy on the garrison.

    One time I was playing with my IRL friend and we made an open squad. A man who sounded like a 40-year old chill dad joined and we got along. In game we got pushed hard and the Americans had put up a strong defense in a long set of houses. All of a sudden this dadgamer walks up to the set of houses and whips out this monster of a weapon and starts flaming the sh*t out of the windows, killing everyone inside and it was at that point I realized that I was playing with a beast. It won us the game as we managed to mobilize a counter-attack into a slow push. Ever since I've wanted to try out the Flamethrower it can be game changing and the visuals are great. You really see the power it lays down.

  • @sgtpepper1317

    The flamethrower loadout would be useful if it came with a rifle as a primary. Maybe only give it 2 or 3 mags or clips of ammo, that way you can fight your way into a closer engagement range. It would probably help if the flamethrower had 10 more meters to it firing range.

    Increase the range and gravity as you said
    And last but not least, make it so the AOE is VERY high when shooting into buildings, flamethrowers were used to clear out buildings and bunkers, atleast make it an effective weapon for clearing out houses and buildings, let the flames linger longer inside buildings.

    increase the suppression value of the flamethrower or perhaps stun enemy (and friendly) infantry who are in close proximity to the flame, either by temporarily locking the weapon to hip fire or heavily blurr the vision. I mean, imagine getting blasted by a 1300 C flame to the face. The heat radiation itself is enough to make tears and even if you dont get hit you will instinctively turn away.

    The flamethrower needs love, point blank. The range should absolutely be increased to at LEAST 35-40m. Letting the fuel arc and be affected by gravity would be ideal but I wouldn't be sad if it never happened. 20m is just borderline psychotic though. If this stays as is, the class should also carry 2-3 mags of submachine gun ammo as standard instead of the pistol. The class would have the SMG as a primary and have the flamethrower as a specialized secondary. Less realistic imo.
    Just double the range for now, increase the hipfire ADS time and walk speed slightly, and work on a more permanent rebalance down the road. I grinded for the flamethrower but wouldn't mind if they made it a rank 6 loadout.

    Semi destructive environments. Add objects that spawn randomly on the map which can be blown up, and add them to the engineer kit, then add the additional range.
    Make some of those objects parts of buildings. Engineers can repair those too.
    Easier than actual destructive environments because it's an object with a health bar that can only be destroyed by fire or explosives and the true environment cannot.

    I just got the Flamethrower myself. The lack of the spray of hot liquid effect, to essentially, whip the flame around corners or over walls plus then keeping that area on fire for a bit longer than it does now, plus it should remain on the ground better. It should be a great area control weapon. It should be longer range, not be a recoverable wound if you got the liquid on you. It should have some effect on all vehicles. It looks awesome, it feels awesome, but it needs to actually be Awesome and be truer to how it actually performed in battle. Plus, you should have at least one extra tank of fuel to reload it.

    You can set fire to a hedgerow from one side and anyone on the OTHERSIDE of that hedgerow, if they are creeping along it, as we do, will be set aflame and most likely killed!!
    It's a great way to kill people hiding behind what they think is a safe spot.
    The same thing applies to wooden structures on Russian Village maps,
    It's an interesting dynamic to play around with , I'm sure you will find ways to utilise this better than I have..

    first problem is that not many people have the lvl in support class so they cannot use the flamethrower at all, i think the biggest issue is the range and that flames just stops, like you say in the video it should be added liquid mechanic to get some range, i personaly use it sometimes and its quite effektiv on the night and urban maps. i think they should add more physics to the flames like clearing all the house at once(satchel like) by flames going up and staying longer on wooden elements or trees/bushes, or kill tank crew without destroying a tank, and movement should not be slower with this range you have now , overall i think there is to much cons than pros when you use the flamethrower and there is only a few situasions it is actually useful

  • @pewpewplasma3793

    I’ve always said that if they extended the flamethrowers range to about 35 meters and added a suppression mechanic to the flames it would make it 10x more effective than it is right now. Now, instead of acting as basically a one-trick ambush tool you can actually use it to create space and dominate close quarters as the weapon is meant to as long as someone doesn’t get the drop on you. It also makes it so that someone can’t kill you while you’re actively setting them on fire just because they’re quick on the trigger. It’s happened a lot before, and it’s annoying because the time to kill is obviously slower than a gun.
    I know on the forums the devs have said they’re looking into improving it, but like you said it may not be worth the resources. Which is a shame because it is very fun to use. I’ve gotten about 120 kills with it now, but it’s going to be a very slow road to that 1000 achievement

      @@TheJinnobi as the other guy said, you have a terrible time regardless of if you have support or not. Personally, I’ve had less success while in groups because the enemy is already looking your way and your range is so short that by the time you’re ready to engage they’re already ready for you. The most success I’ve had with it is when I went off by myself and allowed my team to be a distraction so I could go on long flanks around the enemy. Because the flamethrower isn’t exactly loud, flanking an enemy that’s engaged in a gunfight with your team and just slowly burning them out from whoever they’re not looking is the best way to get kills. And that’s best accomplished when your off by yourself because you have a lower profile than with a group who don’t know trigger discipline 9/10

    I feel like the flamethrower in HLL is much like the flamethrower used in WW2. An extremely specialized weapon used in very specific situations. They are good for CQC and bunker clearing but other than that it’s not the best, and it’s kind of hard to buff it. I think it’s good in its current space. A fun weapon to use, but not that useful. But maybe it could use a bit of a range buff
