Flanking Does Not Cancel Hunker Defense Bonus

Post by deducter »

When you flank an enemy that hunkered, they lose their cover bonus but retains the +30 defense from hunkering. This leads to very odd situations where flank shots are only 20%, and even point blank shots are 40-50%.

This is a vanilla ... setting, actually. We're fixing it for 1.1.

It's been quite a while since I played vanilla, so I don't remember this. Plus there was so much alpha-striking that I can't even remember if I ever saw an alien hunker.

Glad to know this is on the table for v1.1

Right, we did add alien hunkering, so that's why it's visible now. In vanilla you just benefited from it.
