It will tend to make combats more close-quarters, which will itself make them a bit harder, but it won't make anyone better at hitting than you who previously wasn't (unlike what would have happened if sniper was removed from use for any weapons) Very true. Example I just had - I had a 181 gunner with Snipe 5 missing at 50 meters vs a Wurzel. I panicked a bit, but then also realized they were missing me also. I won the encounter with no significant worries. I'm actually missing LESS and hitting at longer ranges than before (83m instead of my usual 64m) My guys I ran were SNP1, MOV1, on a +5 MMG and a +5 HMG. Didn't see much change for the CC or ATG gunners. ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Jul 25, 2014, 10:21 pm

Didn't see much change for the CC or ATG gunners. Yeah it's interesting seeing how the different specs are behaving. My SNP2 on a +5% acc CC is building purple later but once he starts to it pretty much jumps to a full bar straight away - somewhere around 90m or so. My MG3 guy on a HMG (+5% Acc & Dam) takes a little longer, but again once he starts building purple it goes from almost nothing to pretty much full in a turn at about 80m or so. I'm getting the feeling that the base skill level is perhaps playing a bigger role than it had previously (perhaps simple due to SNP playing a bit of a lesser role). Don't know if it's at all related but the enemies do seem to be resigning a bit later as well - but this could with us not stressing them out quite so early. Almost always having to wreck their engines to force a resign (after numerous turns of blue text).

One thing this underlines is that we're dealing with a very complex system at this point, with many factors influencing each other in different ways.. which is why treading with caution is advised when it comes to making changes. I have tended to be a bit heavy-handed at times. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 26, 2014, 11:07 am

*K1500* Big Dumb Object Autodueller Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 394 Joined: Dec 29, 2011 I can only start to imaging how complex the relationship is between the different elements within the game. On the whole I think that the change has been a good one - the AI certainly seems to be "playing" a better game than we may have been previously used to. I also quite like that the raw skills are potentially playing a bigger part. It's going to highlight a good contrast between the specialists and those who go for cross-training. I've been enjoying experimenting with the different specialisms as well. I am slightly dreading the first Morgan defence. If some of the southern scouts I've seen are anything to go by then the defence could be a bit more like some of the early ones before we got established - i.e. thrilling, chaotic and scary! Of course it may all go well if we're wary and coordinated.

*Boonwolf* Finger 3 Darkwind Guru Morgan Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 1,139 Joined: Mar 7, 2012 I for one haven't had to much issue fighting in Morgan or Texan. Do like the closer fighting. Sniper 4 HVY 3 MT 1 isn't getting purple until 105-95M but he has lost 3 legs so yeah he is a bit demoralize or enraged IDK Note tail gunning a CC ......................... vet wv paintball paintladder ped1 race1 semiprocombat zom marshal pvp20,5,0 Posted Jul 26, 2014, 12:57 pm Last edited Jul 26, 2014, 12:59 pm by Boonwolf

We are like a pack of hungry wild animals chasing a cheeseburger. Lol.

We are like a pack of hungry wild animals chasing a cheeseburger. Lol.  Sometimes I think we pull those off from sheer audacity and bravery, other times because we are so unorthodox that it confuses the AI True - but compared with the early days of the defence we're very coordinated! We know the map better, we have generally set (basic) strategies, people build for that strategy, we often have a drop vehicle, recently Smokey has been using ballistics, we prioritise certain targets - for a while we had the muscle wing to split the AI pack as well. Sure it's no military masterpiece but there is a degree of coordination, even if it's unspoken.

*StCrispin* Beasts of the Lair Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,657 Joined: Feb 13, 2012 I will unfortunately be missing this week's trial by fire due to the wedding and the recent discovery that we actually ARE taking a honeymoon. Gotta love how women change their minds at the last minute. But due to car breakdowns my family won't be able to make it to the wedding so you might still have Boon's help. I also chalk our wins up to the Mogan crew having a close bond. We cover each other, rescue each other, and risk life and limb to support each other. We've seen what types of things can happen and can identify when they are about to occur and we react accordingly with heart and determination. I really think that counts for a decent portion. Heart, Intuition, Dedication, Courage. Sounds like some battle cry... Lol ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Jul 26, 2014, 10:11 pm
