So I tried out A Better Advent 2 for the first time and got my shit completely pushed in. Didn't expect the jump in difficulty to be quite so high.

I see your fire and raise you one fire.

Not necessarily but you must move very careful and always have the option to escape ready at hand at all times.

Go in thinking you will get some experience and kills first and actually trying to capture the ship second.

I hadn't seen it either until that mission, so I assume it just picked from all flanked targets and unluckily it rolled the VIP. Would've been a loss if the entire team wasn't overwatching, I usually don't even bring battle scanners.

Honestly I'd prefer the Hunters first- especially considering that they have good lines, cool weapons, and jetpacks WHERE'S MY FUCKING ARCHANGEL ARMOR JAKE, and I can't imagine porting the monsters being easy. I mean you'd need specific rigging to make them move right, not counting the balance and size you'd have to give them. Just imagining kraken gives me floater flashbacks.

It should definitely help, but consider that your scout assault will likely be competing with a pathfinder who is also immune to crits, has a huge health pool and good DR.

I don't know, just seems like you need the scouts early, and then later pathfinders can do a better job running overwatch.

And the real big issue is that some enemies just hit really hard, not that they have good aim or will crit. Mechtoids or a Elite Muton will wreck your scout eventually, 1% chance to hit or no.

Always medic specialists. No blade rangers. Also marksmen are not a given in my books.

>>159577389
Then how do you take advantage of the ranger if you can't ping dudes with squadsight?

>>159577670
Conceal is extremely good, doesn't need squadsight. Just knowing where pods are, knowing you can advance safely, setting up potential overwatch traps, knowing when you can dash etc. etc.

Squadsight is too slow for my tastes when it comes to X2's timed missions, I want to be able to haul ass at all times and still be effective.

Rage helm anon, if you're here, I'd just like you know that you are a king amongst men.

Are wingtip sparrowhawks worth it? I've always avoided them in favor of armored fighters/countermeasures/avionics, and I think consensus here used to be against them, but someone wrote on the wiki:
>Although Wingtip Sparrowhawks are an expensive investment, they are an option to consider pushing for as soon as you can:
>[..]The mass-firing tactic they present for inaccurate pilots helps in early-game, when just causing damage is difficult.

>>159581303
By the time you can get wing-tipped you can have laser canons (unless I'm mis-remembering). Laser canons have very good accuracy. And even if you could somehow rush it, that would be a huge resource investment early game when you need that cash and resources very badly.

>>159578107
So you don't like dragon rounds +lightining hands, quickdraw, and face off?

Or hollow targeting, shredder, rupture + lightning hands, quickdraw, fan fire?

>>159581530
I just have the impression of them as the worst aerospace foundry project overall so I was surprised to see them mentioned in a positive light at all. They cost a full set of alloys and meld when the alternatives tend to be either only alloys only meld, and I'm not sure 1/2 stingray compares favorably with the other upgrades either.

>>159582110
the alternatives tend to be either only alloys or only meld*

>>159581604
Gunslingers have a slow start and pick up speed, which is pretty rough imo for legendary. They need special ammo to be effective, and unless you are lucky you wan't have that for awhile. In the mean time they feel underwhelming. Maybe I'lll give them another shot, but I just don't trust them in Legendary.

>>159582110
Yeah idk, maybe they know something we don't, but this talk of "earlygame" usefulness sounds fishy to me when it's so expensive. People assumed it must be at least kind of good until they crunched the numbers on it, so I would have to see some serious evidence to change my mind.

GUYS. In classic xcom, if an ayyy shots and hits the sky ranger. can the sky ranger blow up?

>>159577313
6 = Conceal ranger, 3 grenadiers (2 shooty, 1 demolitions), 1 combat specialist, 1 gunslinger. Replace gunslinger and specialist with psionics asap.

4 = Conceal ranger, 2 grenadiers, 1 combat specialist

No.

>>159583743
Oh yeah small tip, if you are using open-xcom there is a button by the kneel button that reduces that soldier's Time units to zero. You have to right-click it to make it work. You almost never want your rocketeer reaction firing, unless maybe everyone has power armor, but even then it's risky.

Apparently this is a shot within 35 tiles. Done with squadsight strike rifle, no precision shot. Seems like height mucks up the distance calculation?

>>159602320
Height advantage gives all limited squadsight weapons double the normal range. So this also applies to LMGs

>>159602963
Does it double the limited squadsight or the entire range? That's to say does it go from 36 to 42 or to 72?

>>159603194
Just the limited squad sight, which adds 5 to your final range, so height advantage double it to 10 tile past your line of sight.

OK that one hurt.

So I've been dicking around, grinding tech and stuff, and I've got all my soldiers with tier 3 everything, I've got a full squad of colonels and an almost full backup squad of captains, but I only just finished the advent forge mission and as far as I can tell I'm at maximum force level since I'm finding gatekeepers on non-story missions.
Did I fuck myself over? Do I have a lot of story missions yet?

>>159615662
should be fine if you have colonels just dont doddle with the doom timer and you should be fine

I have about a month til my first alien base assault. I have basic gauss and carapace. Would I benefit most on the tactical level from basic MECs, advanced gauss weapons or the banshee/aegis armor tier? I reckon I have time to get exactly one of the three running by the time I do the assault.

>>159673452
Sorry I dont know what to tell you verify your cache if you can is all I can really give you also back up your save if you do this

>>159673580
Probably advanced gauss, at lest that's my gut feeling. MECs can be pretty squishy when you first get them, and usually guns trump armor.

If you have the properly built snipers, the Gauss Long Rifle will be a huge benefit, your rocketeers also get an upgrade, not too mention the alloy canon.

>>159673838
I'm pretty clueless about mecs since I skipped them in vanilla and haven't really played lategame LW. I know they get really good later on but I haven't really watched Beagle with early mecs. My biotank assaults are solid already so yeah.

I like armor upgrades since they let me replace alloy plates with more offensive items, and Aegis is a really tempting upgrade over Phalanx (carapace being too slow for many soldiers). Weapons are tempting for the reasons you described, I don't know how many cyberdisks I'll have to deal with but spamming them with rockets gets old. Guess I'll get a long rifle then.

Well sort of. A good build for the long rifle usually has Lock n' Load, because the rifle only has 1 ammo, so the plus 1 ammo from the perk + free reloads is huge.

You can still use the rifle without it, but then you can only fire your sniper once every other turn.

>mfw i got a support nicknamed mr clean

hey, Mideval game concept anon here, again, trying to work out how to make the strategic layer thicker, and what to use in the place of the interceptor mechanic, so far part of the idea is to gain more map coverage by hijacking the invader's portal network, then defending those positions as you take them, the primary base would be a bit of a city sim instead of an ant farm, and your troops would have abilities to use in town to deal with efficiency of workers and such

>>159684004
Use rimworld and mod it. It's getting a strategy layer.

I feel like XCOM2 should have just gone full cyberpunk and given us some missions inside stripclubs/bars, but it's such a rough part of town that people just go on about what they are doing.
