Re: Disabling LW classes and characters not created equal?

Disabling "Not Created Equal" is easy. There's an option for it in the options menu :-) I think it's under the "Campaign" section of the options menu (2nd or 3rd from the bottom). EDIT: Just to be clear, "Not Created Equal" is the option that randomizes rookie stats. It...

Re: no advent officer autopsy?

Rule of thumb: If you finish the mission by clicking the "evac" button, then you get no corpses. If the mission ends automatically when the last alien dies, then you get corpses. The exception appears to be the radio tower missions, which only end when you've killed everything, but for whi...

Re: Recommended and compatible mods for LW2?

Oh yeah, I'm running Free Camera Rotation and Perfect Information as well.

Though from what I'm reading, Perfect Information doesn't always give you accurate information?

Re: Recommended and compatible mods for LW2?

I'm running a pretty clean game and enjoying it plenty. I think the only mod you ABSOLUTELY need is the Gotcha (Flank Preview). I'm also running Evac All and Overwatch All/Others, but that's it. Never cared enough to install all the cosmetic mods that add extra soldier skins and armor designs and su...

Re: What does the negative "to hit" penalty to crit chance mean?

Oh that's really interesting. So the final crit value is the absolute percentage you have to score a crit, not the "if you hit, this is your crit" chance. That's actually really good to know, since sometimes you know you have to crit in order to score a kill. I've often done the math on hi...

Re: Built armors not available after a mission.

My guess is that the armors are still equipped on the soldiers that were using them before. Go to armory > view soliders and find the soldiers who were wearing the armor on the mission you just finished. Go to soldier loadout and de-equip the armor. There are buttons that do this automatically on th...

What does the negative "to hit" penalty to crit chance mean?

I am noticing that my rookies (at least) are getting a penalty to crit chance when flanking. On the right "wing" where the crit bonuses are listed when previewing a shot, it lists "flanking +33%" and "to hit -16%". The penalty appears to be slightly different for each s...
