Once you get used to range, kiting and the schmoovement of diving the moment you catch on fire. You basically don't need to wear fire resistant armour and you can kill Chargers, BTs and Impalers without ATs.
Just a reminder though, if you are using flame weapons then stick close to the host or BE THE HOST. Go farther than 50-100 meters from the host and you won't burn anything and will only be doing direct surface damage. This applies to gas too.

Correction: All Flamer weapons have the same damage, range and burn damage except Flamethrower stratagem doing tiiiiiiiiiiiiny bit more direct damage (which got recently nerfed) which is why Torcher is better now because the name of the game is Burn Damage since it scales with size but larger enemies also takes longer to burn (Bots partticularly takes even longer to get burned)
Datamined Burn damage scalings for large targets:
Hulk - Fire 1.5x
Berserkers and Devastators - Fire 1.25x
Factory Strider - Fire 2x
Charger (all kinds) - Fire 1.5x
Impaler and Bilet Titan - Fire 1.7x
Fleshmob - Fire 2x
Harvester - Fire 1.5x
