Fanon:Flamethrower (GellyPop)

The Flamethrower is a Tier 3 tank that upgrades from Machine Gun. It uses igniter as its weapon.

Design
The Flamethrower features a circular body and an igniter, overlapped by an oval base. The igniter looks like a thin rectangle longer than a regular barrel but shorter than a Sniper's barrel, with a small trapezoid whose larger base is at the end of the rectangle.

Technical
The Flamethrower uses a new weapon - the igniter. It fires "flames", which looks like semi-rounded squares that becomes larger as the flames last longer, but moves slowly and spreadly. Flames have the default peach color (which is the same as the color of FFA Necromancer's/Summoner's drones), but takes the same color of the team in team game modes. A contact from the flames doesn't deal much damage, especially when the flames were larger, but these set the victim on fire, constantly dealing damage. Note that the size of the flame affects the time of burning. Without upgrades, the longest burn time is 5 seconds, while the shortest is 0.5.

When flames made contact to other ammunitions (bullets, drones, traps, etc), no matter whose ammunition belongs to, the ammunitions will be covered in fire, and upon hitting a possible target (e.g. Polygon), they can set it on fire, but the burn time will always be 1.5 seconds, even with upgrades.

Note that Bosses, Dominators, and Motherships take slightly less damage from both direct flames and burn. Arena Closers almost receive no damage from both.

Upon upgrading:
 * It now fires flames rather than bullets.
 * Bullet Damage has been replaced by Fire Damage, which affects the damage dealt by flame contact and burning after hit by the flames.
 * Bullet Penetration has been replaced by Burn Time, which determines how long the victim will be on fire after being hit. Doesn't affect burn time caused by other ammunitions.
 * It has a slightly increased Reload.
 * It has a slightly decreased Health Regen, Max Health, and Movement Speed.
 * It gains a Stage 2 FoV.

Trivia

 * This is one of the few Tier 3 tanks to have an effect on their targets after attacking them (setting them on fire).
