Re: Mods Compatible with Long War 2

@deaconivory... I can (happily) report that krj12 has just updated his "WeaponUpgradeIndicators" mod and it works perfectly fine now. You might need to adjust the config settings (XY location, Icons size, Colors, etc) as usual... Proof here... https://s23.postimg.org/g50a3wkq3/WUI_Fixed.p...

Re: Concealment rework suggestion

This is an excellent idea. Your posts make it seem super complicated though for what can be a simple idea: :ugeek: So if you have a soldier without Phantom that did was not part of the original ambush / discovered by being flanked, you retain individual concealment, BUT the detection radius for that...

Re: Aliens getting free shots

This is an interesting discussion because of the AI pod patrol mechanics. On the player side, by LW standards, you are expected to only and always blue move into cover, even with no activated enemies on the map. The AI pods do not make it a point to patrol into cover. Thus, they rely on the free sca...

Re: Balance: gunner secondary, chameleon suit

Thematically i like the knife better on the ranger or the sharpshooter. But i agree not sure what kind of secondary to give them. Maybe not having a secondary would work? That suggestion is gonna piss trihero off since he spent the entire thread arguing to buff the knife as it was useless :D As per...

Re: Amour Mods

GLM mods the number of slots weapons and armor get from lock boxes, depending on the rarity of the box. Rare (green) boxes produce weapons with 2 slots (1 generic), and 1 slot from secondaries (also 1 generic, from Mod Everything). Epic (purple) boxes produce weapons with 3 slots and upgrades (2 gen...

Re: How good is "Basic Research" upgrade?

I think my original experiment is fair in controlling for not having any additional scientists; its intention was to figure out the original question of whether or not it was optimal to rush basic research at the start. We cannot control when and whether or not we get free scientists from tactical m...

Re: Amour Mods

I think GLM mods the number of weapon slots each item that came out of a lockbox dynamically. That's why your tier 1 weapons and armor opened from lockboxes could have 2 slots while generic only had 1. So while I have no solution to what you are requesting, you could possibly retain the number of sl...

Re: Should we ever fight missions where we can't get any infiltration?

I would LOVE to see a video of what a Swarming Supply Raid looks like. So we know how much to prepare.

Also, don't grenadiers have a finite number of grenades. I've got to imagine that once you run out, you're pretty much screwed.

Re: Balance: gunner secondary, chameleon suit

but come on, it should be better than what it is. Everyone else's secondary has some use that isn't replaced just by training a pistol to max. That's the thing. In those classes they have perks to improve the secondaries. The arc thrower isn't that good if it doesn't have 100% chance to disorient, ...

Anyway, since I already have the values in front of me, I went ahead to calculated the research of Plated armor immediately after Advanced Lasers. Plated armor costs 5500 points to complete. So: [no Basic Research example] Advanced Lasers 55.5 Plated Armor 78.4 [Basic Research at very start] Advance...

Re: Balance: gunner secondary, chameleon suit

I for one, stand by my conviction that the Gunner class should be all about the cannon, and have little or nothing to do with the knife. It should be a backup melee weapon to guarantee a kill on the very last weakened enemy/melee enemy next to you whom suppressing does not help. The Gunner isn't the...

Yep, I believe that's exactly it's intended purpose, as an option of last resort since part of the tech tree is designed to be gated.

As to whether it is optimal to do it even if you have options though, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
