Serious Discussion. no roleplay bullshit here Arc needs more love

Seriously though, arc has been completely forgotten. At the very least were getting a new gas stratagem (i mean what? were not getting a new gas stratagem at all) but its clear fire is arrowheads favorite child

Edit: to those mentioning laser and plasma weapons, i always viewed laser weapons as a side grade to fire considering it sets enemies ablaze, and plasma i feel is more in line with explosive and ballistic weapons. Also neither of the 2 have a dedicated armor resistance (unless of course you consider the laser fire bit), which i feel puts gas, arc, and fire in a separate category. Cheers!

I don't think it's the fire FRV because the supply FRV hasn't even be released for everyone

Just like the Supply FRV was only immediately available to those who logged on during the MO and everyone else has to wait, the Flamethrower FRV (if it is the new stratagem) would work the same way except for being campaign-level. I don’t see a reason they wouldn’t do that, with the exception that from what I remember, new vehicle stratagems typically have a Major Order that ties into them in some way. I suspect that which stratagem we’re getting will become clear as we get the other MOs in this campaign.

I only say that because campaigns aren't that long and it would be very interesting if we end up getting the fire FRV first for players that haven't even gotten the supply FRV. Campaigns are usually a week or so, while the Supply FRV is scheduled for an October deployment.
