Flashman beat me too it.

Can we have a forest or jungle map now?

they left out tasmania too!

I totally agree with kingmob.

Yeah. I think if you hit it with a lot of missiles the core will explode. Or its just random and your just unlucky.

Run a soldier in with a grenade in each hand and frag 'em or spam rockets in there. There is not much else you can do at the moment as riot shields, poison gas and flash bangs haven't been put in yet. Just keep running guys in there as they have to run out of APs at some point.

I'm pretty sure automatic air combat has been discussed somewhere here and I think it will end up game.

Shoot rockets in there. Unless you want the power core. In that case just use meat grinder tactics.

Chris what are you going to do with your $400,000

Same thing happened to me in the quick battle terror site. A guy with a shotgun and jackal armour got shot and his corpse disappeared.

Yay I'm special! Everyone must be so jealous of me right now.

I agree, I'm just worried that we may end up with or waste time on a complicated/exploitable/pointless mechanic. I mean if fire multiple shots and or volleys at an alien they're either gonna be dead, wounded (tho this only helps if being hurt affects accuracy like in the original(does it?) or they are going to be one of the tougher aliens that can't be suppressed anyway. Its still a deterrent because you don't know how much AP they have left. I guess reaction fire is more like area denial then proper suppression. I'm not against a suppression mechanic, just as long as its simple and isn't too crippling.

And reaction fire or at least the risk doesn't influence what you do? If you know a bunch of aliens are watching the windows of a building that you have guys in your not going to move you men in front of said windows unless you have no other way of safely getting into line of sight of the aliens. So essentially your guys are suppressed. This reminds me of the original.

Do we have to have suppressive fire in Xenonauts? Isn't the risk of getting reaction fired the same thing?

Since this is more of a SWAT game rather then a army game I think suppression should just prevent aliens and xenonauts from getting reaction shots.
