Is "Heavy weapon" proficiency disappearing ?
« on: May 01, 2013, 04:29:18 pm »
Hello,

Making some testing of v2.5-dev (nighty 2013-04-29), I noticed that the "Heavy weapon" proficiency seems "to disappear", and that leads to few differences between UFOpaedia and in-game mechanics.

Examples : Riot Shotgun, Flame Thrower
 UFOpaedia -> Riot shotgun and Flame Thrower requirements are "Heavy weapon"
 Equip Soldiers (or Buy/Sell) -> Requirements changed to "Close combat"

In fact, looking more closely at details in the "Equip soldiers" screen, I seems that heavy weapons do not rely on "Heavy weapon" proficiency anymore... Is it still of use? Or deprecated? Or "Work in progress"?

It's going away. Thanks for flagging up these appearances. I've made a bug report to investigate before 2.5 goes out.
