    flamethrower is supposed to be a tactical weapon, but it isn't really one any more with flamethrower shooting bullets now it isn't really tactical, before you could use your flamethrower to deflect bullets allowing you to get a flag or blind your opponent with fireballs giving you the advantage, now flamethrower just isn't much of a tactical weapon and it isn't fun like it used to be, flamethrower should shoot fireballs again, if this is already being added please note me in the comments.

    The flame thrower can use a very slight buff, however it is a tactical and support weapon. Mainly the flamethrower is like a troll and a support weapon and also a tactical weapon at the same time.

    The flamethrower isn't designed to be a frontal assault weapon, but more of a tactical.
    As I always say, it's designed to give a sadistic death, not rip through enemies with bullets.
    It should shoot fireballs though...

    Flame is pretty good already it has
    -high fire rate
    -no recoil
    -annoying fire.
    The only weakness is it does damage that is so frickin little.

    I do agree that the flamethrower needs a buff, but not shoot fireballs again. The problem with fireballs is that they can be repelled with a gun. Unless there was a way to make it so they couldn't be repelled by bullets, I say think of a different sort of buff.

    but they stop the bullets while doing that, part of it being a tactical weapon ;3

    They should maybe just buff its damage and few other things, otherwise, I don't have it...

    If the flame gets fireballs again, that would be awesome. I remember crafty's disappointment when he joined back from being gone for months, and found his beloved flamethrower shoot normal bullets. Much sadness.
    But ya, I would love for the flame to have its fireballs back, especially where I can punch them back at the shooter and kill him. :smile:

    I had the flamethrower when it shot with fireballs, and it did not hurt a damn thing

    Off topic: That signature video is so true and funny :hilarious:
    On topic: I don't think this would be a very good idea. The fireballs are very big, so it's very hard to see past them.
    Making the flamethrower one of the most OP guns on the server.
    I think it's fine the way it is now.
    Although it could use a slight damage buff.

    that is sort of the point of having fireballs, without the fireballs its just like a normal gun with flame effect (boring)

    They removed the fire charges for a reason I think:
    The fireballs never vanished, they just got stuck up in the air, nedding manual removal, creating a lot of lag if not removed.
    (This is just a rumour)

    Suggested buff:
    Make the bullets blaze fireballs, as they cannot be reflected, and, as far as I know don't cause lag.

    but when a fireball gets deflected I'm pretty sure it stops the bullet that hit it making it a great defensive/tactical weapon.

    I think that if they are shot to far they just are stuck, don't despawn and couse lag.
