The flamethrower topic

([H_C]Ando) #21

From my own experiences the flamethrower comes in handy in at least three different places:

  1. Oasis with the Allies - going through the lower tunnel at the very beginning of the match, and clearing out the flag room.

  2. Battery with the Allies/Axis - Keeping Axis forces away from the murder holes, and getting into/defending the choke point when entering the complex.

  3. Railgun with the Allies/Axis - useful for riding the train and flaming out to the sides, or flaming into the train to clear out an enemy passenger.

All weapons must be learned to a certain extent, its just that the learning curve for the flamer is a lot steeper.

Flamethrowers are great for spawncamping:
The Flamer holds back the enemy and then the accompanying Panzer kills them all, when they group behind the flames!

But agreed: flamers w/o support are dead meat.
