Today I fired my rocket ~15 tiles to center mass of not activated 4 man squad and it missed all targeted things completely . I was not moving before shot, my Technical have around 70 AIM and FitH perk. It was T2 gauntlet, if it matters. This is insanely unreliable ability as it is now. Did you do a...

Assaults have most kills per mission in my current campaign, they shine in small GOPS missions. My current setup for guerilla missions: 1. Specialist - officer/support/hacking 2. Shinobi - sword spec, scouting and slicing after last pod activated 3. Assault - main damage dealer, responsible for actu...

Your situation don't look bad for me, except no liberated regions. For example, I'm at early September, 6 regions contacted, 1 liberated, 1 ready for HQ assault. Avatar project have 7 pips, 3 on facility I have lead on. I don't have GSGT soldier yet, but have 5 established 5 man squads, mostly TSGT ...

One more thing, what actually bothers me. Why SS have both Phantom and Conceal if we not supposed to use them as scouts? Only use of Conceal outside of scouting job is assassination missions with bad infiltration timers. And Phantom? What use is possible for Phantom on non-scout unit? the current 1...

I hope this additional pods will be distributed across the map, so we have to pull 1-2 at a time for total of 4-5 enemies at once. I currently play without any stealth missions and as result have 5 active 5-man squads. This put some pressure on my supplies, but I got much more loot to sell on BM. Ad...

...The first level-ups she mostly tagged along some skirmish or stealth groups... ...I don't remember exactly when i assembled the squad she led, it was probably when i started doing some low % supply raids somewhere in May or early June... This is probably make difference. I ruled out 0% supply ra...

... What do you need aim in shinobi for??? That aside, even the absolute average rookie, which is 65 aim, will have 81 aim at end of career. With FITH at range 18 and pre move, about rifle engagement range (no penalty range is 19), that's still 78% chance to deviate max 1, very accurate I'd say for...

75 AIM from the start for Technical, seriously? You can have low aim Grenadier from the very start of the game, having perfect accuracy and 3 charges. Maybe some day I will have more good AIM soldiers than I need for Rangers, Sharpshooters, Gunners and Shinobies and spare Superior Perception PCS, so...

It's really hard for me to level up low aim Sharpshooter to the point there it maybe will be worth taking on mission. At MGST level it maybe will pull it's weight in squad roster, but early on? I need to waste damage dealer slot to have +10 aim on two targets, this is bad trade off from my point of ...

Rocket scatter completely weird, up to the point where its use is absolutely unreliable. I even tried to take first skill instead of Roust or Suression, but it make no difference. This is completely block rocketeer build for me. And I can't see a reason for such scatter on not-so-great single use ab...

Holotargeting without scouting or shooting potential do not enough for me to justify sharpshooter in small ops squad. Actually, I don't need even SMG, just empty slot will be better than this useless sniper rifle on holobot SS. Maybe pistol as primary weapon? It will be nice gunslinger themed build....

Pistols don't work at squadsight already, so there must be config switch for this ability.

Since squadsight functions independent of the equipped weapon, doesn't this let you fire an assault rifle at pretty silly range due to the falloff tables for non-sniper weapons not being calibrated for squadsight availability? Some abilities are already tied to weapon type, like Slugshot for Assaul...

Probably I will have dedicated medic Specialist for combat heavy missions and I will take Field Surgeon. For all around guerilla ops Specialist I will take Failsafe any day, it feel so good when you can hack towers or try to override enemy mech units without any consequences, except lost action.

Death from Above returns one action point when you get a kill from elevation, which normally prevents the Sharpshooter from firing more than once per turn (because the sniper rifle requires 2 AP), but does not prevent them from shooting again if they trigger the ability with a normal weapon. This m...

I like this idea very much.

I think main complaint with SMG for Sharpshooters come from role interference with stealth Shinobies, but this don't look like a serious issue for me. Stealth shinobies much better in pure stealth, thank to Covert and Ghostwalker.

* I can't level up my holobot Sharpshooter's, since I can't take them as "passengers" to stealth hacking missions. This issue is part of why I am going to add the ability to equip rifles (and therefore SMGs) to Sharpshooters in my copy of 1.3, if the devs don't make it baseline. That way ...

Recently I started new campaign (veteran, non-ironman, yes, I'm slacker) with house rules oriented to 1.3 changes: * no 0% supply raids (this is was boring as hell) * almost no stealth missions (actually, I done 2 stealth hack missions to counter dark events) I found some interesting moments: * I do...

It does all the same things putting a Scientist in the AWC does. In the same way that you ask "do I value wound time being reduced enough to give up a Scientist's contribution to research to have him/er contribute to wound reduction in the AWC?" you ask "do I value wound time being r...

I played with SMG holobot Sharpshooters, damn, it feel so right. They still worse in pure scouting, since they don't have Ghostwalker and Covert skills. And, since in 1.3 we do not have much stealth missions I don't see any use for pure scouts anymore. So I will have to choose between holobot SS sco...

Research of basic upgrades unlock project for advanced ones, research of advanced upgrades unlock project for elite pieces. If I recall correctly elite ones cost 30 supplies each, but I may be wrong here. This is big sink of supplies, but if you have more than enough - why not use it?

I never have enough advanced expanded magazines and scopes for all my guys. Then I liberated my 3rd region I was literally flowing in supplies. Why not use them to give advanced or even elite upgrades to all soldiers?
