Feature Requests / Feature request : Riot Shield

« on: January 10, 2011, 05:23:41 pm »

Yes, a riot shield. Same as Modern Warfare 2

When equipped, soldier cannot use 2-handed firearms but gave extra *front* defense point.

2 Types of riot shields :
- Earth built : Big size(carry only by hand, store only into the backpack, 2*4 size)
- Alien tech : Small size(2*3 size so it can store into the holster)

Earth built is made by Aerogel. Fire/bullet/explosives cannot penetrate it. but less effective against laser/plasma.
Alien riot shield will generate particle vaporization grid. Best for plasma/laser weapons but less effective against *mass* projectile.

After more research, scientists will find distortion field generator. it can equipped into the 'extension' slot. Give more defense, but heavier, shorter sight due to optical distortion effect.

Thanks.

If you're taking wounds so often that you need two dedicated medics, you're doing it wrong.

Oh, thanks. I have to review my strategy from bottom.

Tactics / My battle strategy

« on: January 08, 2011, 06:51:45 pm »

This is my battle strategy. I hope this useful for other players.

After begin, you have found 8 soldiers in one air-transporter, Firebird.
What all have you to do is, FIRE THEM ALL!

After firing, you have to review all soldier and hire people following specialists:
2 Medic : Speed.
2 Assault : Assault Weapons
2 Sniper : Sniper Rifle, Accuracy
2 Heavy : Heavy Weapons, Accuracy

You don't have to concern about Mind. It may increase during combat.

And equip them:
All : Medikit - Place it into the Holster if possible, otherwise, Backpack.
Medic : Right hand - Machine pistol, Left Hand - Medikit(Rather than Holster)
Assault : Assault rifle, One Additional Magazine and 2 Frag Grenades into the belt.
Heavy : Grenade Launcher with 25mm HIT Grenades, 1 Additional Grenade into the belt. Machine pistol into the Holster.
           (Machine pistol use only kill enemy who approach very close range. you have drop primary weapon to the ground and change it, and shoot him with automatic fire)
           (Yes, G-Launcher take affects from explosive skill. however, Heavy will change his weapon very soon)
Sniper : Sniper Rifle, 2 Additional Mags into the belt, 1~3 Additional Mags into the Holster.
           (you may approx. 2 reloads during each battle)

During the battle, all guys hide behind the transporter. if you can't(too close to enemy), sweep very near enemy ASAP and hide quickly.
Rearrange troops this position:
2 snipers move good sight. sniper can reaction fire from far.
2 Assault search and sweep map. and 2 medics follow these.
2 Heavy supports assaults.

After time passes, you can use the Heavy Laser(I recommend This research first). replace heavy's weapon with this.
Now, heavy use like sniper. He still backup assaults but not need to follow closely. If you want, Heavy hold his position and acts like sniper.
But you MUST 3 more additional D-F Cartridge for each Heavies. 2 is belt, 1 is Holster. You can give up machine pistol and carry 5 because Laser weapons is safer than G-Launcher.
After research finished, Assault change his weapon with Plasma Rifle. If you want, heavy change with this too.
Plasma rifle carry 20 bullets with one cartridge. so you may not need any reload during the battle.
Medic can change Machine pistol to plasma pistol. It can handy.
But do NOT change sniper rifle to Electromagnetic Rifle. EM-guns has poor accuracy and HUGE magazine(3 tile width). it carry only 8 shots and consumes too rapidly.

All soldier must equip at least combat armor. This is important.

And finally, Stun rod can carry Assault or heavy. I don't recommend Medic or Sniper. In most case medic is busy to heal soldier and Sniper doesn't have any chance to close combat.

Thanks.

Feature Requests / Sniper rifle needed.

« on: January 08, 2011, 06:01:51 pm »

Hello everyone.
I played version 2.3.1 and almost all research has been finished.
(I only left some aircraft research)

I use 2 Medics, 2 Assaults, 2 Snipers, 2 Heavies system.
* Medic uses pistol/medkit and always behind other soldiers.
* Assaults uses assault rifle.
* Sniper uses Sniper rifle.
* Heavy uses Grenade Launcher.

After time passes, Heavy change his weapon follows:
Grenade Launcher -> Heavy Laser -> Plasma rifle

Assault changed his weapon to Plasma rifle.
Medic changed to Plasma pistol.

However, only Sniper still use Conventional Sniper rifle.

I tried Electromagnetic rifle. but it has poor accuracy to use sniper, and alien does not carry any sniper weapons.

My point is, I need advanced sniper rifle for my poor snipers.

Thanks.
