If everyone wants to keep the flamer as some devastating weapon, which it is, how about you make it's range basically not almost equal to rifle bullets... tired of lining up rifles etc to have flamers have to walk only just into range and just spray the whole area... make it half the range or something.  There are times it can close on an mg in a building before it starts firing and wipe it.  Even suppressed it has crazy damage.

Plus for allies it's equipped to ridiculously strong early game units that hardly need an anti inf booster...  Just make all infantry based flamers on every unit like 2/3 of the range they are now.

The problem is that they made the flames shoot beyond the nominal range.  In effect, it is nearly the same as rifle range.  Then it was inexplicably buffed in the last patch when it didn't need to be buffed.

Much more reasonable response... it is stupid now, literally just short of rifle range...
