it is almost impossible to set a building on fire nowdays and i think that should be reverted to the pre wfa levels. (im not sure if this is a bug or result of wfa)

I miss the good 'ol days... https://youtu.be/1sGNYH0vQyc?t=7m15s
Edit: better display of old flamers https://youtu.be/1sGNYH0vQyc?t=13m39s
But yeah, I agree, flamers and flames in general should do more building damage.

Stone buildings are much harder to set on fire, not sure about wooden ones.
In the past, 3-4 molos/inc nades were enough to set any wooden building on fire, you needed more for stone buildings.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Wooden buildings also require ton of time to set on fire nowdays

Just reminded myself why.
Persistent flames from vehicles.
Buildings flame resistance was doubled, because otherwise, unless you were using old croc, you'd set building on fire BEFORE you'll kill squad inside, which happened awfully often with WASP(even I remember one instance where I burned building before killing single volk model inside.

The infantry based flamers dmg threshold to ignite buildings were increased quite a lot in a patch around oct/nov, while vehicle based flamers were slightly indirectly decreased whit flame dot.

When they cut the kv8 damage in half and made it equal to a UC wasp they destroyed my ability to manage schreck blobs.

I have had times recently where throwing 2 molotovs into massive building will trigger the complete burnout of the building over the next few minutes, but other times i will have to use 6-8 over time to take out a smaller building. I thought they were trying to add consistency to the game.

you need a DoT flamer to burn a building down; hand flamers will literally tank 5 minutes per building to set on fire. DoT flamers like the 251/16 or UC will set on fire any building in the AoE (this means multiple builds when they're touching) in less than 30 seconds.
i think it was a stupid change because it makes partisans obscenely strong on certain maps but it comes down to the flamer type.

In over 700hrs of game play I have never tried attack ground with flamer units. Can it be done?
As in the KV8, Wasp, Flammer units... Can you attack the building with no one in it?

On a related note, has anyone else had their flamethrower squad completely derp out when told to attack the middle train station building on ettelbruck from the bottom side? Instead of straight up attacking the building with the enemy squad inside (they were definitely in range), they run all the way up to the building and wait 3 or so seconds before they start shooting at point-blank range. I've only really seen this happen to this building from that angle. Is it due to the yellow cover strewn around that side of the building?

Yeah and they get killed for their trouble. I believe it is similar to telling cons to at nade a tank on the other side of a fence and instead of running up to the edge of the fence which would put it in range they try to run the opposite direction to get around the fence.
Pathing loses games.

you can both attack buildings, regardless of occupancy, and attack ground with all flamer units.

Yes, and it makes tanks fall into the ice, and you can use it through hedgerows. You have been missing out.

Seems like it! Cheers for the info all. No more sneaky building spawn units getting my AT's now!
