I would have preferred some different changes to flamers myself, but hey at least they're actually worth something which is pretty amazing.

Well... my wolverines with 1 energy hardpoint now have something moderately useful to stick there besides TAG so... yay? I guess?

There is no soot to glow. Candles burn yellow largely because the heat causes the soot to glow via black body radiation. A hydrogen flame burning with oxygen is practically clear.
Flamers are not even combusting anything. They just siphon plasma from the reactor and pump it out, where it would rapidly expand into hot gas. It should not look like a "flame thrower" although it would be cooler if it did...

I like them.
They look like a butane lighter.

It's not even reactor plasma (which would crash it). It's generally air sucked into the flamer and superheated into plasma which is then sprayed at the target. In TT, that's either as a cloud of plasma (heat mode) or a focused stream (damage mode). It's also why firing flamers in TT doesn't cause a net loss of heat- the process consumes a respectable amount of power to generate. Vehicle flamers are more like conventional flamers in that they use ammo (gel, basically) to hose down targets instead.

Any point in firing them all at once or chain fire accomplish the same thing with less heat?

Multiple flamers firing at once will spike heat faster, but honestly in practice generally two flamers is enough to get something up to the point of cooking nicely. Chainfire isn't really needed, nor lots of flamers.
