Yep, I noticed this too. And you know what else I noticed? That those flamers didn't set any vegetation on fire. OUTRAGEOUS!

I want to see how damage is dealt when using them. In table top, I believe it was 2 damage with 3 heat. But if you can use flamers for an extended period of time, will you do more damage and heat to the enemy mech? Example... IF a flamer does do 2 damage and gives 3 heat will this be every second or few seconds if you (THE FLAMER) holds down that trigger and lay on the flame?

Hmm, I'm liking the prospect of putting a couple of these on a light/medium mech, mostly for the redux in potential enemy firepower, but even just for blocking the view of an enemy while it's trying at my teammates. I look forward to using these well.

[Joe Mallad]

I think if you have a large mech like the Dragon that is slower than some other large mech, a number of flamers equipped could make you very deadly when those faster mech try to pick on you lol. If I play with a Dragon and I will try one just for the fact that im playing Kurita... I will probably go with a DRG-1G (Grand Dragon). it has a PPC and 3 medium lasers. But id probably strip out 1 medium laser if i can maybe put in 2 flamers.

Not sure if "finalizing trees" includes burning , but let's hope!

I would like to point out, if you look at the picture more closely, you would only be able to place 1 large laser and 1 flamer because it is limited to 2 energy weapons in that rack. Though they could be 2 huge weapons, such as 2 large lasers per arm? PEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Burning....Trees? Hmm...I can see it now...

-"Whats that Commander? I just need these last few tree patches then i'll be done, I'll be back in combat in just a minute...Commander? Guys?...
Oh well *FRRRRSSSSSSSSHHHHH* hehehehehe"

Those are Flamer sounds, deal with it.

lol how about a ppc in each arm with a medium laser in each for when you cant use the PPCs? I dont think you would be able to say do 2 PPCs and 2 large lasers or even 4 large lasers or 4 PPCs because of weight issues.

My thoughts are going by critical slots, and using the critical slots and weight by TT a Large Laser and 2 flamers can fit in an area once filled by a PPC.

I'll be curious to see how flamers are balanced in MWO.

Very short range for one thing, limited fule supply for another.

[EvoseveN]

I just thought about it, would it be likely that the Flamers bring a target Mech's Armor to such a heat level that it softens it?
I'd love to see that utility for teamwork brought into it. Figure dual flamers into an LBX10, tearing apart armor with combined weapons.

[Jjrob1989]

You missed my point though. You are limited to two (2) weapons in that slot. Look at the pic. 0/0 ballistic 0/0 missile 1/2 laser
that says nothing about the weight or the slots in the arm itself, purely the number of weapons allowed.

So in the light battlemech video it appears that a hunchback is using a pair of flamers. Looks good, I wonder how effective it will be at overheating the target. Ive got visions of flamers on a commando overheating an atlas xD

[Helmer]

Link to the video.

You can see the Flamers in action at the 1:27 mark.


Great looking visuals!



Cheers.
