7h30n Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Is there information about how much reloading costs for each weapon? Also, it seems reloading isn't TU percentage based because I couldn't reload a rocket launcher even though my rocketeer had 100% TUs (33, it seems reloading a rocket takes 34 or 35 TUs)...

StellarRat Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 No, it's not a percentage. It's quite possible to load down a soldier (or have one that's too wimpy) to the point where they can't actually reload their rocket launcher or LMG ever.

Nefertari Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I modded mine so that I cut the cost of reloading down to 10. It was way too high and I thought very unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenakist Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Realistic is a hard word to use in such a situation, authentic is more applicable, but honestly reloading isn't that straight forward, a lot of the time you are doing several things to reload that one clip. Scale wise, 30-40tu's sounds about right, thats 10tiles of movement but opinion is opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was way too high and I thought very unrealistic.The reloading times are actually too low for most heavy weapons even with the game defaults. If you lowered them further that's fine, but it's hardly realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishguy117 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 For heavy weapons 30-40 TUs is good enough(Its too low for ballistic weapons, but in my opinion too high for lasers and onward, so it makes a useable game balance judgement), but for rifles it should be 10 at most. I know guys who can do it without looking in under a second. These are supposed to be the best in the world, cherry picked from special forces groups.

crusherven Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I don't think they're retaining the old magazine at that speed, though. It's a lot faster if you're just dropping the old mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishguy117 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Well considering that after the battle we spend some time scraping up every piece of alien tech we can find I assume we can pick up our own mags then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) LMGs, some shotguns and rocket launchers take much longer to reload than a light weapon. I'd say 80 to 100 TUs is easily possible.
