Extinguishing fires

Just thinking out loud here. What if there were a way to extinguish fire? For example, Ducks could go under water after getting hit by Dante's flame and have the fire's after-effects slowly reduce in strength and giving them a chance to survive? It would require a bit of re balancing units like Pyro, and there would have to be a way to get non-amphibious units to do this (cons spraying them with sand?), but would it make the game more interesting?

Yes, they have to enter water. Units already in water do not get extinguished.

Oh. Nice. I didn't realize it already worked like that.

Edit: Now to try lobbing burning subs out and into water to see them extinguished....

Would make more sense if subs either were immune to burning or auto-extinguished after 1 second.

so you're telling me that to make an underwater com we should allow flamethrowers to work underwater?

Maybe divideing in fireA and fireB

fireA (basic fire, can be extinguished)

- Pyro
- Firewalker
- Blastwing
- DRP
- Dante



fireB (Napalm Type B with white Phosphorus, even burns underwater)

- Inferno
- Phoenix


example, any improvements?

I feel fire already has Dante problems of burn duration. White phosphorus is better suited to indicate burn duration.
