X-Com soldiers received fire from that direction. A thermobaric rocket was fired at an orchard. It failed to kill the alien, though.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

The Floater was found and killed with a High Explosive. 3 minutes from the start, the mission finally ended.

Reapers and smoke have proven to be a quite deadly combination.

Why are they all armed with conventional weaponry? Is the new equipment too expensive to produce?

Reapers and smoke have proven to be a quite deadly combination.

The smoke was a self-inflicted problem, though. Now I decided to double Reaper's TUs and stamina.

Why are they all armed with conventional weaponry? Is the new equipment too expensive to produce?

No. It's quite cheap when compared to stuff like cost of aircraft and budget. It's just that I don't have any of it researched yet.

I managed to make openxcom take armour modifier as an armour divisor.

 

[Nevill]

I managed to make openxcom take armour modifier as an armour divisor.

What are the implications of this?

Wasn't it already in the game, with certain aliens taking more damage from certain weapons? Or is it another parameter completely?

Taking more damage works in a different way. It multiplies the damage in general.

Armour divisor simply decreases armour. So, for example you can have a laser weapon doing the same damage as a normal rifle but ignoring half of armour.

On 27th April, a large UFO was detected over North Europe.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

It was chased by Interceptors from Europe and Israel.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

It was caught over Saudi Arabia after it slowed down. It turned out to be a Terror Ship. It was damaged and forced to crash-land by Israeli interceptors.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

On the next day, a Cyberdisc autopsy was finished.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

X-Com Platoon 2 was assigned to secure the crash-landing site.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Their equipment included two alloy-armoured HWPs, two Heavy Cannons and one Auto-Cannon.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Situation immediately after landing. It was some new unknown type of aliens:

Immediately the craft was covered with smoke and tanks have fired at aliens.
