Heavy Flamethrower idea of sorts, I guess.
Echoez:
So I know the subject of a heavy flamethrower has been brought up many times. Though has been massively ignored due to how fire used to work and how easy it was to extinguish, I've also been wondering how such a gun would work? would it just be a bigger flamer and what would be the difference?..
So I thought that if that was to be implemented it should be a liquid based flamethrower, that actually has some range, firing fiery projectiles in an arc towards enemy ships, that do fire damage and explode on contact, causing fire to spread around. It should have 2 barrels of course for the coolness factor.
Or maybe it could be a incediary grenade launcher? Not sure.
RearAdmiralZill:
Maybe something like napalm? A gun with a dragon's head (think something like the hwacha but only one and larger) with which you lob the projectiles over. On contact they explode with a mass aoe of fire.
I don't think a heavy gun could be a flamethrower in the traditional sense. Not unless is was many tied together and that just looks silly to me...
Echoez:
When I thought of a heavy version of a flamer I thought no gas first of all, so I imagined it would be like the old GreekFire, so liquid based with 2 giant gasoline tanks or whatever and double barrels so it can project the liquid at longer ranges.
something Napalm based sounds neat as well.
RomanKar:
Yeah, so like it would fire huge balloon type things full of Greek Fire type stuff. No direct damage, just explodes in a huge AOE that sets all kinds of stuff on fire.
I can dig that.

Well the weapon has to have some sort of direct and AoE damage, else how does the hit get registered? :P
it would probably have fire direct and fire AoE, not much, 5 direct and AoE would be a pretty decent number considering it wouldn't have a giant clip like the regular flamer. The projectiles would arc, leaving a fire trail behind them and would 'explode' on contact with the enemy ship lighting stuff on fire in a small radius around the hit.
