I have found that getting a sharpshooter set up for long range, is really freaking powerful, set them up on a tall building and give them AP rounds, a good scope and other aim increasers and just pick off anything that so much as looks at your soldiers wrong. The problem with this though is getting ...

Also means you can't spike the reinforcement flare with incendiary/gas/acid/proximity explosives. In my experience the vanilla AI won't run through hazards if it would take damage from them; this also means they'll occasionally stand in the open when knee-deep in acid -- and sometimes may not do an...

actually this is a vanilla bug, I forget what triggers it but it is easy to get out of hit esc save game then reload the save. aka close out and get back in.

Ok, this bug officially annoys me. in its inconsistency. I managed to get it to happen again, was getting ready to send the save when reloaded it to make sure it happens every time... 5 reloads later and can't get it to happen again. on a save that I Had it happen in the exact freaking move order th...

I think the problem here is map type. and yeah if you double move everyone the first 2 or 3 turns you can generally make it. but the larger maps mainly the ones which are train hacks (hate them), tend to require you having a high move speed guy low geared with an SMG.

Ok, I have over wrote the save I had for this damn idiot me. but Ican help narrow things down. IT seems to happen only when something inters the sentries line of sight and kills it in the same action. as such 99% of the time I can only get it to happen with a sword kill while a consealed guy has los...

And we have the major clue. the out of LOS bit.

cause it was the same in the few situations I had it, which was near buildings or in one case in a modded ruins which had a lot of LOS blockers.

sorry smg, and not giving grenades and gear is teh best option for timed. there isn't much else.

then take the advice I gave above.

Ok some questions first, are you using any map pack mods, and on what map types are you having problems with timed objectives? Something me and a few others have noticed is on the larger maps the timer may be enough to barrely get you to the objective in vanilla, with modded maps making it impossibl...

Ok after messing with the long war 2 what mods do you guys think are must haves for it. for me http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198016374396/myworkshopfiles/?appid=268500 all the stealth mods from this. as they allow you to make 2 man stealth teams that can enter high threat areas and wreak h...

that would be an advent sentry.

And here to report the same thing, the sentries seem to be bugged as killing doesn't remove overwatch some times leading to a dead soldier attacking your units.

ok did some testing, aka an intentional poor run on gate crasher a few times in a row. if set to true your first dead xcom unit will always die, if set to false they will bleed out some of the time. Though that is just in my testing and I am modded to hell and back so no clue if that is actually wha...

Just to note "Maps by Vozati" is a big one when it comes to timer problems with LW2, think half the maps in it are large and make timer runs near impossible with base timers on all but easy. Along with that even on vanilla the train objective missions tend to be just barely passable on eas...

Ok found the problem it was hack plus. which is strange as all that does is add +3 points to a soldiers hack if they manage to make the hack.

https://www.mediafire.com/?a76ci1kd1eaf0b1 Ok here is a save with the bug, not the same situation as the first time. problem here maybe because I have a team of nothing but rookies. Also mod wise, most of the mods I have are cosmetic, then grimmys loot mod and hack plus. (which I removed to see if w...

ok, thanks and sorry for missunderstanding things.

yeah, larger map mods do not work well with this. they are fun but damn the timers mess things up.

that file does not exist in my mod folder for long war 2. hell there are no .ini files their are config files but no .ini ones.


EDIT: never mind found a similar file, and found it.

which one?

no clue what that means.

For some reasons can't hack doors on rescue missions. even with some one that can hack. even blowing the doors open with grenades doesn't open them.

As a result I lost a mission I had locked down, thought it was one time, next mission like that same thing this time i got pissed and deleted save.

Ok, I love long war 2 already but damn the timers do not make sense some times. the big problem is you have to rush it to even get to the points before one turn left if you are lucky. I am not dogging the timers completely they force you to not turtle but damn they are spartan at points especially i...

you have to call the skyranger to evac units now. can make for some epic moments of just getting out in time, or lead to things like a high end squad wiping out an army before leaving on their own accord. truthfully I think after like the 5th wave the advent should send in some big guns nomater what...

been playing with the LW packs for a while and though well we have an SMG why don't we have a "heavy" combat rifle... at first I though ok high caliber battle rifle, lower ammo and higher damage. but after testing via config file edits on one of the workshop mods decided that would not do....

ok this concept maybe more complicated then it should be, but why can't we get support from the skyranger, we know it is able to hover in air as it does so for evac, and we know it is pretty stable in doing so. So here is a suggestion for a mod. SKYRANGER SUPORT info: allows you to place a support z...
