This should be in the manual in the weapons section. I think it was settled at 1.5 degrees per point of damage.

And no.

I didn't see it... but thank you. As long as they cause more heat to the enemy than to me I'm happy.

Hmm... flamers would do 10.5 heat... so if I could get 14 flamer hits at once, instant shutdown. :)

Status: offline 		nah you'd prob push yourself into the redzone like that and cause your ammo to start exploding which would prob push you into shutdown and/or engine explosion

IMO use'em to push the enemy into their red heat zone and start causing there ammo to explode

from there its a piece of cake just watching the nme titan blow its self up from teh inside out......course if your nearby that could be a bad thing

EDIT:where did the expersion "piece of cake come from"?

ive no idea myself

Status: offline 		I think the question was about the freeware. Is it still 1.8 per point of damage in the freeware?

Status: offline 		Yep, otherwise I'd have said so. Only difference is the one I mentioned.
BTW, NM and FT ammo explosions do double normal damage, so they're pretty nasty for both sides.

Oh ya. I liked to have a heavy Titan in my squad that was fitted with napalm only, and a neuron blaster if there was available space. At s/m range this could really cause shutdowns fast. But it was definitely a support role only.
