XCOM V5: Grazed shots still count as hits - Games

[QUOTE=zipziggy;50003996][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4fSdpLK.png[/IMG] i saw this in some one elses picture anyone know what mod it is that gives these stats on hp bars? Also anyone have a good voice pack suggestion for a western-ish cowboy vibe voice pack that would sound good on gunslingers ?[/QUOTE] [url]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=646244015&searchtext=[/url]

[QUOTE=certified;50003674]Might it have something to do with the fact that ADVENT essentially IS (ayylien) Nazi Germany? They're practically a 1:1 match with Hitler's regime in the core of Germany, with ayy lmao duct-taped on.[/QUOTE] They even have trains.

And facilities where people go in, but never come out. Plus they are obsessed with superior genetics. Advent are literally Nazis.

Etherals did nothing wrong?

Why not "Super Squadsight"?

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;50006299]Why not "Super Squadsight"?[/QUOTE] The only reason I'm not calling it that, is cause it's an active ability.

"Perforating volley" ?

There is a voice cue in game files for soldiers called ThroughTheWall, so I thought this already existed

[QUOTE=RocketRacer;50006536]There is a voice cue in game files for soldiers called ThroughTheWall, so I thought this already existed[/QUOTE] That and the icon is called Through The Wall, that's why I'm calling it that.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;50006365]Penetrating Shot?[/QUOTE] Could be confused with the Penetrating Burst from the Shocktrooper mod. I think Through The Wall is a fine name.

"Fire at a target in Squadsight, with an Aim penalty."

the squadsight penalty in 2 really maims the appeal of regular snipers compared to gunslingers imo. 0% chance to hit was kind of shocking to see on a sniper after EU. maps are bigger, yeah, but that's kind of the nature of the role.

My snipers still hit pretty reliably with squadsight. Eventually their aim gets so high that it offsets it.

I had my sniper on the far side of the map once and he fucking annihilated a dude on the opposite map. Was around 30/40% aim. Also, spent a good hour or so fixing my character pool as the pool reverted the majority of my saved soldiers to their fugly ballistic state I resaved them all after making sure that the ballistic/kevlar versions of them were all kitted out.

It's been done by multiple rookies to the exact same sniper. And for anyone who's played World in Conflict, the sniper in question happens to be Bannon :v:.

[QUOTE=Ghost101;50008121]My snipers still hit pretty reliably with squadsight. Eventually their aim gets so high that it offsets it.[/QUOTE] one of my snipers consistently has 100% to hit, in 8 missions I've only ever seen it drop down to 75% at the lowest

[QUOTE=Ghost101;50008121]My snipers still hit pretty reliably with squadsight.

I miss that rule, seems like everyone's top priority is to spam grenades now that there's zero penalty for doing that.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;50009880]I miss that rule, seems like everyone's top priority is to spam grenades now that there's zero penalty for doing that.[/QUOTE] What about how they destroy loot drops?

[QUOTE=Roman Candle;50009914]What about how they destroy loot drops?[/QUOTE] Those are super uncommon and not that important anyway.

[sp]So the Elder Ones uplifted the Ethereals and taught them how to use their gift, but they weren't good enough so they discarded them. But the Ethereals still took it upon themselves to travel the galaxy trying to find a species with perfect psionic potential? Were they going to bring that species back to the Elder Ones?[/sp]

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;50009880]I miss that rule, seems like everyone's top priority is to spam grenades now that there's zero penalty for doing that.[/QUOTE] dunno, I love explosions.

Yeah, it's fun to watch the landscape crumble from your bombardments plus, you can imagine what kind of terror and carnage you bring upon ADVENT by making everything, including themselves, explode.

I find explosive usage more justifiable because of the armour mechanic. Explosions are THE solution to it, as far as I know. I usually bring two Grenadiers on a mission with different grenade setups and it works pretty fun all the time, especially if both have WAR Suits then oh boy aliens get exploded. also, I have a weird thing going on my campaign right now that Sectopod body doesn't actually get delivered to Avenger. I've killed at least 5 Sectopods now and I don't have the research for it, so I can't get what I really need from that research. It's irritating me.

[QUOTE=JesterUK;50011776][sp]The Ethereal guy on the bridge of the temple ship says the Elder Ones cast them away or something[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]It doesn't imply they're a different race, though. They could be a clique within the ethereal society that was cast out. To me, that's a simpler explanation than something involving a hitherto unseen alien race, but it's all really just speculation.[/sp]
