It's probably still better than my latin.

Anyways, I just made several tests and the flamethrower really stacks, but unless you can make all the zombies stand skin on skin, it will only do miserable damage compared to other weapons. Even with a large group the minigun and most other weapons outperform the flamethrower by far simply because they can kill faster and thereby create small blockades due to zombie corpses, decreasing the chance of being swarmed by the mob.

It is a nich weapon that is very effective under some circumstances. Killing Player Zombies with it is very amusing . Also, you have to learn how to "herd" the zombies: Run around them a couple times, douse in flames, and repeat

I used to take Latin, quit after 3 years...

Flamethrower is not made to take down single targets... use your other weaponry for that, but lets assume that flamethrower has enough fuel for 3 powerfull attacks (enough long to kill a zombie), if you have ~20 zombies stacked (well they dont even need to be stacked, flamethrower still has ~10meter range or longer) you can kill ~60 zombies with 1 clip... propably more if you know how to use it.. It's all about skill ^^

but I agree with the minigun, it runs out of ammo way too fast, maybe reduce ROF and increase damage a little to make it kill ~in about the same time as now, but have more ammo... you really cant kill more than ~40 zombies with it... atleast with "normal" 50-70ms ping.

well ok some more damage would be nice. i dont know if the skill also increases damage on the minigun, i'd think so.

but if the damage is to be increased, its going to be like from 10 to 11 damage per bullit, or 12 maybe, because the ROF is still very high. and its supposed to be, its a gattling for crying out loud.
