Can suppression stack?(Request)

It apparently doesn't but I feel like it should. I know the aim debuff was nerfed to -30 from -50 to make it so enemies won't always run it, but when enemy aim starts stacking or they get ammo upgrades with grazing it feels a bit like the opposite problem. They'll just shoot for like ~30 instead of ...

Re: Covering Fire as a lvl 1 Offensive AWC perk

Covering fire has needed a buff since the LW1 days. Its a situational perk that has pained us forever. It wasn't as much of a problem because opportunist existed. That means that OW against an enemy in cover was still just as good as shooting at them, so OW was almost always as good as just shootin...

Re: Opinion on Rocketeers

Full cover still blocks the flamethrower for the tile behind it though, right? So if they're in full cover they won't be hit? ....*proceeds to bitch about urban maps with full cover everywhere* What?

Re: Opinion on Rocketeers

My honest, massive problem with flamethrowers is that they're blocked by every kind of cover so badly... tbh at this point I've basically given up using Technicals (I'm on August 11, and out of ~45 soldiers I have 3 technicals- all officers, all kinda old relics) just because I'm so disappointed in...

Re: No Avatar Project?

How early should we be aiming to liberate a region, and how late in the worst case? I think for the first region, you should just liberate it at soon as possible (and afterwards you don't really need to liberate as far as I know), both for the avatar and for the first big influx of supplies. (After...

Do faceless steal from all the supply you generate, or only the supply you generate in the region they're infiltrating?

Re: No Avatar Project?

You have to liberate a region to view the avatar progress, that's why it's in the objective list on the side of the geoscape, although the specifics of liberating a region are rather vague. You have to complete a mission with "find a lead" as a reward. (not all of them unlock liberation mi...

Re: Lone Wolf does not work properly with Fleche

That is indeed how it works and always worked i believe. And if it didn't work like this, there'd be little downside to it. Your shinobi must always be in danger or off on the flank as a price of the perk.

In the same vein, maybe... I dunno. Increase the supply reward on them and keep it static (250-300?) and make them reward no corpses, or very very few corpses (at least one of each type you kill.) Or increase the supply reward and make them reward no corpses, but introduce another way to get corpses...

Re: Stun Lancer behavior: value of cover and tile checking

Two questions about Stun Lancers: 1. They expose themselves to other than the targeted soldier to melee attack. Are they meant to be suicidal? I can see them risking the flank on the targeted soldier but being flanked by other soldiers doesn't seem to have significant or any value. 2. I had to retr...

Sounds like you were lucky not being detected considering the insane detection radius of drones at 0% infiltration.

Powerful? You betcha, but it's a perk-slot once per mission ability. I feel that it's a totally justifiable power level for the opportunity cost incurred in a perk-slot once-per-mission ability.

Were the evac timer mechanics changed in 1.1? I only see that it now takes 200% to get -2 turns instead of 190%, but I've been having missions where it takes one more turn than it should.

Perhaps so. I've only personally seen it with berserkers, so it could be.

Specifically, burning does not stop units from meleeing. So burning chrissys, mutons, lancers etc. should be regarded cautiously.
