Let Tanks Flamethrower linger on ground like the hand held

Post by 1WheelDude »

Using the tank flamethrower against biter entities like worms seems very weak compared to the handheld because the fire does not linger on the ground causing a damage over time. Would be nice to have this affect.

Tank flamethrower was added to help clear trees, not combat. Thats why it doesn't behave the same as the handheld thrower - it's designed to not start massive, uncontrollable fires.

But where is the fun in not starting massive uncontrolled fires?
