Would you like to drop with me right now, I will let you use them on me and prove that I still cooldown.

No i dont mind, you know the NGNG TS3 info?

[Norris J Packard]

I have no interest in getting on a VoIP.

I will simply add you via the friendslist. I will then take some screenshots and post them here.

As you can see here, it does not effect me in anyway besides increasing the ambient temperature.

[Omigir]

I will admit, it was probably a just a mind twist. Still, I will stick with the flamer though. :3 when it starts getting the crit bonus.

I will say this, I cant explain the few times I dropped against friends (by accident or otherwise) and they report having heat problems. Just a mind ****? not sure.

Still.. 500+ DMG in a spider!

Thanks a bunch for debunking the myth, mate. I don't think that is taking anything away from Omigir. He obviously is having success in his build, so kudos to him and hopefully I only see his name in blue on the battlefield.

I have been at this since closed beta, and I have been runnings lights since, and one thing i can say for sure, mechs do not shut down as often when im pestering them, as when they do with a flammer on them.

Confirmation bias.

Did you get some lucky ammo explosions?

I watched a Cicada with 4? Flamers do 86 damage across 4 minutes of constant firing and lose us the game several days ago. Nobody bothered shooting him until the rest of us were dead. So yes, Flamers are still a terrible weapon and you are gimping your team by bringing them.

That may have been me, and if so, I'm sorry it cost the game. Someone mentioned it, and I had to try it.

Don't apologize. There's nothing wrong with playing for the lulz every now and then. At least your idea of lulz isn't TKing.

Appreciated. And it was 6 flamers, and really was hilarious. You can completely blind someone on river city night, too.

Also tried it once with an Awesome. 7 flamers on an awesome is laugh-tastic, it's incredible. The one coming off of your head looks especially silly.

As the other guy said, an apology isn't necessary - it's not like games are super serious or anything. Win or lose doesn't really matter to me. Was just making a point that if you do take a terrible build, you should be aware that you are handicapping the rest of your team and they may not appreciate it if they are a bit competitive.

Also, I really can't remember who it was so it may or may not have been you. No worries either way.

[Roadbuster]

They might be a viable tool (a tool, not a weapon) once they get a buff, but currently flamers are the worst thing you can put in a hardpoint.

I was facing a Hunchback 4P once with a loadout of 9 flamers...
It was hillarious to see that thing fire nonstop at me, not moving my heat bar anywhere, while the Hunchback did overheat and shutdown every 5 seconds. I even pitied him while I killed him.
The map was Frozen City.

[De La Fresniere]

On River City Night, a Flamer will completely blind whoever you're using it against.

[Wittyname Terribad]

Flamers are useless as a primary weapon system, and normally a waste of a slot that would be better filled with a medium laser

However, 9 flamers on a 4P is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen in this game. Hug the assault mechs for fun and (little) profit
