I've been playing the game for several days now (about 2 months game-time) and I was just going through my arsenal one fine morning.
This list was what struck me:
Kerrblade - 0
Laser Pistol - 60
Machinegun - 70
Sniper Rifle - 250
Now, I understand the 0 range of a kerrblade and other knives means that I can use it within a distance of 1 cube from my unit, but the other weapons?
Is there a fixed relation between:
1) the distance between my unit and the alien (i.e. the number of cubes)
and
2) the range of weapon?
if yes, what would be the ratio? (e.g 1 cube = 1 range)
if no, then, are the ranges of weapons only for comparative purposes between them?
This question might have or have not been asked before, but it would be nice if you could give a little briefing about weapons to an UFO:AI newbie...Thank you!
