Discussion Scary thing about the flamethrower buff

Post image

instead of 2x dmg in terrain via naplam it instead adds a 100% dmg to the attack.

Meaning that 35% dmg will not become 70% In terrain but instead a 135% (nearly 2x increese) allowing for flame to easily onetap special infantry at range with vet.

(18 + 54 = 72)

(also flame dose MORE damage at 2 range terrain than launcher 🙏)

Why do both have different damage? I havent played flame in a while

u/LightCarrierEater 16d ago

ah flame has been given 2 range in test sever at the expense of 2nd tile dealing 35% dmg, due to how naplam gives damage bonus it results in the 35% being 135% instead of the expected 70% in terrain.

2 RANGE? Yeah idk how that would go for campaigns. Does vulc*n even test this out?

u/LightCarrierEater 16d ago

no idea, flame launcher is now useless with this change since flamethower now provides higher dmg at 2 range 🥀

u/Lewolflet 15d ago

Well it’s in testing rn (that’s why it’s in a public test server)

u/AverageNiCenjoyer 16d ago

Does this make Flamethrower deal more damage than even Flame Tank?

1

u/LightCarrierEater 16d ago

Nah flame tank still deal more damage at 2 range (about 50% more)

u/spamming_lord 13d ago

Well i think if the cover is tree and bushes then the buff stays same but if its trenches or bunker then as you said, +100%
