Is the information in the commando guide still accurate. Is the delay between specials still at 9 Seconds? How fast would a master commando with a 4.0 spped flamer fire his specials? Sorry if this info is posted i could not find it in the stickies (at least I dont belive what is posted still to be accurate)
Thanks,

It's hard to say to be honest (although I'm sure there are people out there who know the exact calculations)...
I've found that the delay is typically between 5 to 9 seconds depending on the speed of the weapon and based on being a Flame 4 Commando (at least)...The average FT, which typically has a speed around 4.2 to 4.8, tops out at about a 8 second delay depending on your count...The faster the FT, the less of a delay you should see...FS Ranged Speed mods are also suppose to help a bit, but currently don't...Rumors are that Melee FS mods do help slightly, but not very noticable...
We have proposed to the devs to add between +20 to +30 FlameThrower Speed to the Master Commando box...this would inturn take our delay down to around a 4 to 5 second count for our average FTs (meaning the above average ones would see closer to a 3 second count delay) and this would in effect bring us closer into line DPS-wise with other elite profession powerhouse weapons out there...
In the CU we are pushing for more speed, accuracy and better weapons...along with that we are pushing for better range on our weapons...So far things are looking very bright for the future of our profession...
On a side note, some people may not realize this, but every weapon in game has a Weapon Delay just like ours...but due to their speed mods and the speed of the weapons, their Delays are a lot less noticable and typically cap at 1 second. It's our shear slowness that makes our Delay that much more obvious...

With +45 mod, you can multiplay yourflamethrower speed by 2.2 and get a pretty close estimate of the delay.
