In my opinion, chem spray is always better at this stage in the game. I'd be ok with an extinguisher buff of some kind, but right now chem is better once you get used to it
Also, spanner/mallet master race

Contrary to many people I prefer extinguisher most of the time because of faster cooldown and its versatility. Chem spray is good at negating suppression from flamers; you need it to return fire and the flamer becomes useless once balloon and hull is chemmed.
However, the small amount of fire stacks from other weapons often doesn't justify the 5s cooldown and weak extinguishing power of chem. If the balloon/hull loses chem in the middle of battle and take 1-5 fire stacks along with damage, it becomes a problem.
Also to point out something interesting: if an engine has 20 stacks of fire and taken damage in the middle of a battle, I will usually mallet first before extinguishing. This is especially if I am aware that the pilot requires the engines to maneuver immediately.
One of the beautiful things about playing main engineer is how often you have to be situationally aware and make decisions based on knowledge and quick thinking.

interesting you should say that. One loadoyt which we used to run a lot on goldfish was spanner-mallet -buff for the hull engineer with standard kit on balloon engi.

When I saw that loadout when we fought against the Gent team during the GOIO League, I assumed the spanner mallet buff was on balloon under the assumption the balloon would be constantly destroyed. It would give you a big advantage in blenderfish duels until you get flamed.
