[DONE][SUGGESTION] Burning downed unit lighting.

Idea is to make downed unit, who continues to burn, to produce light as normal fire until it dies.

This is something for Yankes to consider.

I don't know how difficult it is to do; or if it affects performance.

My (personal) opinion: A rather cosmetic feature. Low prio.

Btw unit in hand should give light too? :>

[ps]

Unit light is not cosmetic feature as it affect visibility. But probably it have low affect to gameplay as you need have source of fire to lit unit and use it as torch.

I think that you can have better torchlights than burning foe in your hands. Damn, that's brutal. :)

In Piratez i have such thing periodically, when using lasers or incendiary bullets during night.
