[QUOTE=CGNick;48259024]No it doesn't? By default soldiers in Long War have randomized stats with some balancing in between them. Not created equally is replaced with Strict Screening, which makes them have base stats.[/QUOTE]
I could've sworn it had that.
[QUOTE=The Jack;48258891]Not created equaly results in some delicious darwinism were you just sell/expend the guys who suck. Or cut of their arms and legs and put them in a bot. Good times.[/QUOTE]
I've got a soldier who ended up with your name, his stats are totally abysmal in everything except movement. Decided to make a Run & Gun sonic-speed suicide soldier out of him with Vest, SMG, and no items.
[sp]most XP out of my entire roster, you kick so much ass and usually land the last hit on the Outsider[/sp]
[QUOTE=CGNick;48258589]How did you get a rookie with 82 aim? I've made the aim range from 65-75 so the best you could have gotten is 78 using the SAS bonus. Or did you modify the aim yourself a bit?
Actually yeah, your soldier seems to be running an extra 10 stat points, did you set the default aim to 80?[/QUOTE]
No I didn't change anything (I don't even know how to). It seems to me that most rooks start at 75-80 aim which is something I would like to say is a tab bit op for rooks.

Or it could be because it's Craptasket and he's the hero XCOM deserves and the one it needs right now.

Are you using Cinematic Mode? Or maybe using the Australia bonus for extra stat points?

Don't go with an SMG on people who are actually meant to shoot things.
Go with a shotty.

Well, who doesn't like snakes?
I think some of them are cute.
Classic Ironman and literally every single soldier that got up to Major has gotten a medic skill... except for the only support I have out of [B]6[/B] heavies who has all sorts of crazy ass combat skills. Randomized skill trees are really fun but when they fuck you over on the only single-choice Major rank skill it's maddening.
Save me

I replaced the tac vest with the covert operative outfit for my game a while ago. It's pretty rad.

Shame about the jeans, I'd love that jacket in vanilla though.
Dat chain panic to the ayy's, and jesus christ all those 60% misses oh god lol

Squad misses 12 60% flank shots in a row
Is my game broken? I've gotten nothing but Heavies and Snipers for atleast 13/15 Rookie>Squaddie soldiers, with heavies consisting of atleast 80% of the rankups. It's Ironman so I can't even reload to retry class selection either.

You have to play in a way that favors heavies and snipers. This means using holotargeting to give your snipers an aim bonus on everything.
First terror mission of my XCOM FP Longwar campaign...
Our roster is:
Insp. Jones
Wolfos
Kommodore
Pappi_Man
Junker154
Tureis
and two shivs
May god have mercy on your souls

let us take a moment of silence for Tureis and Thunder-2
I sent a steam message to his family informing them of his death.
Every time someone says SHIV I think they mean Chiv and that they put me in their game from the name lottery and I get excited.
Losing soldiers feels like real failure.
Speaking of SHIVs, it'd be neat if we could eventually upgrade them into unmanned mech troopers in XCOM 2 since the presence of actual MEC troopers is less than likely.
It'd make for a neat progression tree and would make them more of an attractive choice in the base game. You could also potentially give them a self-developing AI, which would be a good excuse for allowing them to rank up and choose different tactical skills.
