that's copypasta isn't it
Apoc sorta had this, so I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up.Ability to sneak, walk and run.
In Xenonauts? Yep. You can even open them diagonally.So can you finally let your guys open doors without walking through them and eating bullets?
I wanna do it like the pros in these crime procedurals.
thank you for your wrong opinion.EVERYTHING in this game is crappy
The standard door opening procedure in xenonauts is to have one machine gun dude crouched in front of the door, and someone else to open and close it for him.So can you finally let your guys open doors without walking through them and eating bullets?
Not really, its either snipers out of sight/range of aliens and a bunch of high reflex assaults. And you dont go inside, you just skip turn and open the door to look if something moved into line of fire.The standard door opening procedure in xenonauts is to have one machine gun dude crouched in front of the door, and someone else to open and close it for him.
- Cover works like old Xcom but you know the chance to hit.Got this game. Started a blind insane run, thinking I'd get stomped while I learn the mechanics. Not so yet. 3 months in, 2 bases (eurosovietafricamiddleeast and northamericamehixo-withoutsoldiers), no terror missions (are there terror missions?), 15 missions, albeit soldiers are dying like flies, money is very short and funding is dropping.
- line of sight/fire is incomprehensible
- slow moving speed on tactic screen
- cover mechanics have the same weakness as in firaxis xcom, its is better to just not be seen by ai instead of being in cover
- same tac exploits, snipers out of sight (i think this is intended by the dev...) and overloading soldiers with rokkit launcher ammo and dropping it on the floor at the start of the mission
- i feel like machine guns and rifles are pointless, though i have only used em once or twice
- i dont know what the point of tac missions is, if i can just bomb the place?
- i dont play the airplane minigame, feels like autoresolve is a better option
- aliens look crappy, just encountered green androids.. a low point
+ soldiers are dying, i dont have a guy with 5+missions...but its getting better as i learn the mechanics, mostly due to low tu/accuracy of my guys (3 people can be not enough to kill a single alien) and surprise buttsex tftd style and well the pretty good acc of the alien personel...
+ aliens move backwards, and hide
Its decent so far.
- Of course it did, but it was not represented by numbers. Cover stoped shots that would hit you otherwise all the time.Ufo Defense has no cover that reduces CtH. Its popamole behind visual obstructions.
Cant try to play the airplane minigame, dont wanna ruin the money situations by experimenting. But gonna try in another game or maybe when I get better planes.
What are we talking about regarding 'stronger ufos'? For me right now 2 starting planes and a foxtrot take down a corvette without much damage if at all.
MGs, are we talking the starting MG? Why are they best? Feels like if I am up close, Id prefer the shotgun dude and if I am far away Id go snipers.

I dont think so. From what I remember of Ufopedia, if you see an alien, you just roll toHit and thats it. If a shot hits an obstruction its just fluff or environ destruction. Same applies if the alien shoots.Of course it did, but it was not represented by numbers. Cover stoped shots that would hit you otherwise all the time.
Now it makes sense.Also MGs destroy cover in the way, especially once you get laser ones (or better).
Is it typical to spot an alien base in November? And how tough is that fight? Can 8 rookies with jackal armor and some laser guns take it?
Also, is the Corsair airplane pointless? The infobox says that it only has 2 hardpoints for heavy mg, no missiles. And this thing is 300 grand and 10 alloys 10 elerium...
Typical squad is now 2 snipers, 3 mg, 2 assaults, 1 shield or so about.
