Russ already responded to a similar topic complaining about flamers. He said that the weapon would require an overhaul, which I agree with. He also said that it's pretty low priority compared to everything else right now and he didn't want to pull anyone off of anything else to work on flamers.
It's a real pity. I guess they're focusing entirely on balancing the clans now, but IS weaponry still needs some significant changes. The "aggressive balancing" they once talked about never really happened. Small lasers and small pulse lasers are almost never used, pulse lasers in general are for the eccentrics. And the AC2 got nerfed hard because people found it annoying to get shaken by AC2 barrages, but now we have Clan mechs with quad UAC2s, so it's time to give Inner Sphere AC2s a purpose again.
And as an Adder pilot, I feel kind of like I'm piloting an Atlas D-DC without being able to remove a non-functioning command console. I basically can't do anything with the flamer, except as a joke.
