Welcome to the forums!

And I'm not sure what to think about the idea, might over power the tank because its crucial to get him on fire.

Yeah that's kinda what I thought too, that's why I posted it. It was an idea that i just came up with, without putting much thought into it and I wanted to know what people thought of it.

I like the idea... actually I think even puking should put out a fire. It would make the boomer more useful during finales where they are usually relatively useless unless they get a good spawn. Try sneaking a boomer from the house to the trees on blood harvest for instance... almost never happens. But a tank on fire is almost always killed. If there were a way to put him out (as there is on death toll or in sewers for instance) then it will make the survivors more diligent if a boomer could just put him out again.

You have to figure that at most a boomer could spawn twice during an average tank lifetime if he's attacking Tier 1 weapon holders and MAYBE once if they have tier 2s. I don't think it would unbalance things, but it would add a new element of strategy to the tank attacks.
