Well, if you bring 5 single detachments to a battle, you're in for a major
loss of VPs! Besides that, I cant really picture flamethroweres as
particulary sophisticated nor advanced weaponry compared to a titan
:-)

Its more the perception with up to 5 Support cards per company you can still
have a lot of flamer armed space marines, land raider crusaders etc with
out sacrificing much other stuff, implying that the chapter has them in vast
quantities. Where as with them being special cards it would imply that there
few of them and there fore the commander is going to be warier of risking
them in battle and forced to make a few harder decisions. Do I bring the few
crusaders I have in the armoury or get the Titan.
Remember the standard equipment of a Space marine is written down in the
Codex Astartes which was written by the person most of the "vanilla"
chapters look to as a father they are only going to break from this under
very dire circumstances and then only in very small numbers.

Hi
Dont get me wrong! Im totally against regular SM chapters getting
everything, like bike-companies, crusader-companies, flamercompanies and so
on.
But as long as you they dont get the equipment in company-size, I think that
chapters such as the Dark Angels, Black Templars, White Scars and
Salamanders will keep their uniqeness.
It probably is a question of gaming-style. I very seldom field detachments.
I usually use my points on companies and specials and only take detachments
to fill up the odd points. The detachments breaks to easy.
