Accuracy of pistols

<< < (2/2)

C14_rad:
I have no problem with plasma pistols doing more damage than assault rifles, it's the accuracy that bothers me.
Can you tell me where I can find the weapon definitions in the source?

H-Hour:
All of our weapons are defined in scripts that you can change without recompiling the source code:

/base/ufos/weapon_*.ufo

Our wiki explains some of the parameters.

Triaxx2:
It occurs to me that pistols should be more useful at short ranges, than rifles. After all, unless you don't have the option, when entering a room, a pistol or SMG is usually a better option than a long rifle. (Shotgun beats both, but that's another story.)

Of course that's probably not possible in the engine.

It varies based on damageweight/resistance interaction, but the low TU use of sidearms often makes this the case as it stands.
