Ah, that's right. I was referring to the dev app range. The live version is probably still around 200 meters, but the dev app has it at ~150.

fair enough I can't imagine that isn't short range enough but I haven't played with it with another human yet

also my Hawacha gunner would have chem spray and no heat sink and would be chem spraying in reloads instead of buffing since a repair wouldn't be that needed since flamers don't do much damage if I keep it sprayed... again a change of mentality is all that is needed

Are you talking about gunner gunners? Are you sure that sacrificing all repair/rebuild ability is acceptable just to fight fires? Or were you talking about having a gungineer with just burst rounds or heavy clip?

well I personally hate gunners and always have so I PREFER gungineers but if I wanted to have long range versatility I would have my gunner bring chem because we won't need the repair as much since if I'm facing a flamer there won't be too much direct damage...
but lots not pretend like gunners weren't useless before the patch... I am all for creative ways of making the gunner useful

Interesting. I would imagine that even if there was a flamer against me, there would be other guns which would be better at destroying weapons without flame stacks. I personally would need a lot of persuasion to have my gunner bring anything else than a spanner or a wrench, but a gungineer could naturally fit a chem spray in his kit a lot easier. To each his own, though.
Welp, here I go again. Talking about how gunners are at a disadvantage in some situations. Well, maybe there will be a day in the future when the dreaded Powder Monkey was no longer shown the door but welcomed with open arms, as he would bring something else to the table than two additional randomly chosen ammunition types that he wouldn't necessarily know how to use.. well, one can dream. ;)
