TrashMan Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Wow..that was..bad. Missing all the missions. Not doing Terror Attacks is BAD for your funding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashMan Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Good to see you got the hand of air combat Also, don't underestimate the power of burst. It's good at destroying cover and far beeeter at supressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashMan Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hurr..enemy fighters have missiles. You have to dodge them. A Foxtrot is a bad choice agasint fighters, even worse if you fire both missiles at once. Also, a good tactic when storming a UFO is blow hte door open with missile and then fire 1-2 gas missiles inside . The aliens will either run outside, for your soldiers to reaction-shot them to death, or will stay inside and be knocked out by the gas.

TrashMan Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 B.t.w - For terror missions, you want firepower, firepower, firepower. Gas missiles and grenades are uselss. Smoke grenades are a blessing. Gas the area around the chopper. Machinguns, snipers, missiles and grenades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashMan Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 HMmmm...too bad for the first casualty. He wasn't in cover tough, even if it might have looked that way to you. The enemy was too off to the side, more than 45°angle. As such, the trooper needed another piece of cover diagonally (1 tile in front, 1 to thr right). Also, the guy with the shield should always be your scout. And in lack of cover, a good idea is to set up a kneeling shield guy, and stick a sniper behind him.

henri5 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Sonce the aliens are grouped, maybe you should use rockets. And perhaps smoke would help to hide your soldiers until the aliens get close (since they seem aggressive).This really looks like a tough mission. Perhaps you waited too long to get laser weapons? Or maybe terror missions need to be toned down a bit until one gets lasers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwarrior Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks for the feedback - yeah I may try another approach next time - but terror missions are some kind of massscare also ;-) Anyways we will always fight - back - this is our earth ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashMan Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 You used a wrong approach there. Terror missiosn are supposed to be horrible. What should help you: 1) Having a fallback position where enemies longer sight doesn't matter - you can fall back into the chopper, or around the corner of a house. Hugging the corner of a map preferably. Reaction-shot any enemy that runs in. 2) Explosive. EXPLOSIVES. Your biggest mistake so far is that you are barely using grenades at all. Use them. ABUSE THEM. They are the perfect weapon for a shield guy. If the enemy has cower, blow it away. Terror missions aren't about capturing tech anyway. 3) Smoke grenades. I cannot keep repeating this enough. 4) Burst is sometimes better than aimed shot. Especially in a situation like you've been facing. Throw enough led and something will eventually hit. 5) Retreat is ALWAYS an option. Get everyone into the chopper and abort. 6) I all else fails - Use a mod. One that equalizes sight range or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashMan Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 For more male soldiers, just edit the config file and adjust the male/female ratio. No new game required, but it will only kick in the next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwarrior Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Ok - you know how to edit it precisely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashMan Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Xenonauts\assets (wherever your folder is) gameconfig.xml.. Open with any text editor (I use Notepad++) Then under <!-- SOLDIER GENERATION VARIABLES --> <minSoldierAge value="21" comment="The minimal age of a soldier." /> <maxSoldierAge value="35" comment="The maximal age of a soldier." /> <femaleSoldierChance value="40" comment="The percent chance that a generated soldier is a female" /> Just change that 40% into 10% or 0% or whatever and save. Done. you can also change some other things to make you life a little easier... like cost of soliders and scientists, speed at which aircraft are reapired, the funding modifier of nations, etc.. I suggest you do, because tons of money will not decide the game, but will help you. The game is HARD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
