I don't know if it's an animation issue on par of the enemy model, but within two meters' reach I sprayed 1/10th of the tank into the face of a highwayman grunt with the Beginner Flamethrower. No damage was made, nor did the flames stick to the model and she shot me dead instead. There are so many disturbing little glitches like that which really accumilate frustration. Hopefully fc6 undergoes a wide animation overhaul.
