All they had to bloody do, is to up the damage a lil bit and make the heat generation into a constant heat/sec instead of the whole exponential growth nonsense.
Also, the visual change is the ******* worst. They look so awful now! Like... WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE FLASHLIGHTS?!

So yeah. If the firestarter with 4 Flamers and 4 ML makes me worried about dogfighting him, they're in a good place.

The worst part is, the visual is TECHNICALLY canonical because Flamers are closer to over glorified Plasma Torches than they are a true flamethrower.

Or would that be a few too many?

Laughably, they still have the increased Crit multiplier (for the potential of 0.11 Crit damage, instead of 0.1)
They've allowed me to farm some headshots in those incredibly rare cases where you can find a separated target who has poor heat management skills and enough weapons to overheat himself quickly.

I did a HBR with all E points and every slot filled with Flamers and DHS. Was underwhelming.

I tried 12 on a Nova the day the rework went live. It was less effective than I'd hoped...

I just hate things like the exponential heat and the neutered visual FX.

So no, I don't like them. Looking forward to another 3 years of waiting for an update. Maybe I'll use flamers in 2019.

I actually like the heatscaling of them too, as good as they are now they would be kinda broken if you could just boat them and keep tapping away at neutral heat.
What I don't like is that they made them invisible, what's wrong with being able to blind mechs? I thought the blinding was a cool tactic, why take that away?

They aren't super OP, but they are a pain, which is a bit better.
Now I want inferno SRMs.
