It's great for base raiding and defending, in the confines of a base it is king. Fire is short bursts to save ammo, put balls of fire where people are heading to create fearful walls of flame, and generally spray short bursts all over the place to create confusion and panic. Another trick I love is that the flamethrower is simultaneously also smoke cover. When confronted with an enemy at range, fire a wide swath in front of you, then while it's still burning, strafe and find cover to get closer and closer to the enemy. They often fire straight into the flames thinking you are going to charge them with a pitiful short range weapon. The flamethrower is also one of the best weapons to pop out with when the enemy has rammed their vehicle into your base.
