I think Haven defence might be different, I've only played one and I wasn't on the look out for this issue so I'm not sure. The one that really grates on me is the supply convoy protection mission. There's no reason to move your squad at all in that mission so they just keep dropping in precisely th...

Yeah, but in 1. 3/1.4 they always drop in the centre mass of your squad

Yeah I also don't like how they drop on the middle But it's terrible for them to drop out of sight. I wish that couldn't happen. Maybe it's just me being a bad player, but I found the out of sight reinforcements in 1.2 a real challenge. I usually wasn't sure exactly where they were, so was under co...

That's only because your soldiers are in the same place :) RNFs in most missions seems to drop somewhere in the baricenter of all your soldiers (a point the most closest to all your guys). A 2D example. Let's say you have two soldiers (@), then RNFs (X) will most likely drop between them. __@______...

Are reinforcements on "Protect the supply convoy" missions supposed to always drop in the same place?

If not, I may have a bugged install.

Yes that's how it works now. The timer is longer, but you get reinforcements starting at about 1/2 way and gradually increasing in strength. The won't go after you if you are concealed though. Was it as soon as they got off the transport? If so, they just run in a random direction to find cover and ...

It seems that in 1.3 reinforcement drop locations on Defend Supply Convoy and Evacuate Haven missions are always in more or less the same spot. It makes it very easy to just overwatch murder them as they come in.

Has anyone else noticed this?

It could very possibly be a miss remember by me.

I've started a new, non ironman campaign and am going to try this mission at different infiltration levels to work out what happened.

I'm loving it. I really like the small squad missions in 1.3. In 1.2 I disliked the gamey 0% supply raids in and found the covert missions interesting to start with, but very easy and boring after a while.

Sounds like it is most likely working as intended but it seems possibly that it could do with some balancing though. I was finding the campaign relatively easy up to that point but there is absolutely no way I can complete that mission!

I just checked and it was a strength 4 region and there are currently no dark events active.

Unfortunately I was playing ironman and in fiddling with the save files to be able to save/reload the game it has overwritten my save of the map, so I don't have a save file of the issue anymore.

Commander difficulty level, running a level 3 liberation mission (capture VIP), alert level 4 region, infiltrated to extremely light, there are 6 civilians who transformed into Faceless. Is this working as intended? If so, I need to go down a difficulty level :D I'm using exactly the same mod list a...

I've been playing 1.3 all day and I still think it is too early to form a strong opinion. Enjoying it a lot so far though .

I'm interested what house rules do people use for these? Must infiltrate to 50%/100% ?
