The only condition under which I'd term a weapon in GOI OP is if it was sufficient paired with itself/no other gun to promise a kill. The flamethrower is not at that point.

With extinguishers it is a guaranteed kill. A single flame can lock down a ship with extinguishers regardless of skill. This will be a major nerf to the flame and buff to chem which doesn't need a buff.
The issue is that correct chem is mandatory and extinguishers are completely useless which breaks balance in pub matches. If the extinguisher were buffed there would be no need for flame nerf.
Buffing the extinguisher is a simpler and more balanced approach than nerfing flame + buffing chem.

Could we maybe only make a partial penetration, like 10 meters before the particle stops? I would like to still be able to flame a pyramidion's front guns from above.
Also, THANK YOU MUSE for the rematch changes. Unlimited rematches are one of the things we missed most about old lobbies. Now to add named lobbies and it will be perfect :D

Wouldn't ten meters be about the width of a junker? Seems to defeat the purpose of removing penetration, if it penetrates most of the way through most ships.
Sammy B. T.:
We were joking about this in TS, but if the flame stops after hitting a component, one might need heavy clip so that all the shots don't get stuck on one chem sprayed component.

I would also rather see fire extinguisher get more love than a change in the flamethrower's mechanics.
