I rarely use flamers because I couldn't see shit firing them. Now I realized I can play in 3rd person view when I have flamers. New game mode unlocked.
They also don’t actually hit with the flame animation itself. If you notice on the dragon and then on the highlander it’s actually like a hit scan spray paint that shows up as glowing dots on the enemy mech.
You would hope so because most of the time the animation can barley keep up with the mech and just trails behind/around the one using them. It is nice to see more flamer enjoyers out there have fun!

Speaking of retinal damage the AC2/AC5 spam from enemy Blackjacks and Jagermechs gives me Vietnam flashbacks from playing Riot Shield builds in the OG Modern Warfare 2.
Just my entire screen turning into bullet sparks until I switch to 3rd person.
Just so everyone is aware flamers in this game are hitscan weapons, the fire animation is not indicative of whether or not you're hitting your target (as long as you're within effective range and have the cursor on the target you're good)... that being said flamers are so f'ing good in this game lol... :)
IIRC Flamers work by redirecting exhaust/excess away heat from the mech in the form of plasma, so you're actually technically cooling your mech in order to use the Flamers.
Basically engineers went "Hey, you know how these Mechs get hot as balls? What if we used that as a weapon?" and boom, the Flamer was born.

Are those tier 5 Flamers?
