i like the small, interconnected maps of 2&3 better than the giant maps of 1 and 4. they just work better. some of the subclasses also had various good points, though others were completely unusable.

The instant deployment of 2 and 3 was quite fun. The main thing from VC2 I want to see tried again is the multiplayer. That would be fun, in either PvE or PvP mission form.

I kinda felt like something something was missing between the end of the demo and the interlude, because Riley goes from running off into the woods in the dark due to trauma to calmly asking Miles about Claude and Raz in the middle of the day.

You rarely want to kill dudes unless they are extremely dangerous on your way to the enemy base (enemy snipers if they have time to take a turn/shot, tanks that are rushing you, etc.). I just loaded up my dudes in the APC and drove through the right side on the second turn. (stopping before triggering the tanks on the first turn). You can duke it out with the enemy but VC doesn't really reward you for that, it's one of the weakest points of the game design. The only rewards you really get for killing stuff are special weapons from ace enemies, but they tend to be pretty gimmicky and not worth using anyways. Also, don't forget to use your orders, defense boost is a lifesaver if you need to run through heavy fire.

You can deal with enemies handily and still get A-ranks across the board. Everyone but the sluggish mortar/lancer duo has enough AP to still shuffle around while occasionally stopping to shoot something. You don't need to clear the map, no, but you don't need to rush by enemies at all. Kaincypher posted:I feel like I'm missing something here.

I've got max upgrades on all my poo poo, and my soldiers are about lvl. 5-7. You get friends, take to the field and charge. AT-guns hurt but aren't be all end all, but I think there are enough canisters around to deal with the far away ones, too. At start send a unit or two to clear off the left hill, push the tank and an engie friend down the middle and stuff the APC with a party team down the right after using Riley or whoever to take out the canisters on the first overwatch bunkers. Spawn a sniper on the left camp then next turn snipe off the various canisters. The tanks will have spawned with the APC push but in my case they fruitlessly tried shooting it, but afterwards your tanks will spawn and it's a matter of cleaning up the center of tanks and gatlings so you can push your shocktrooper of choice in. Should be a pretty do-able two or three turn stint, with most of the map clear.

One of my Engineers has a trait that increases his "anti tank attack power". Am I missing something with this? Does it increase the pitiful damage he deals throwing a nade at radiators? E: Do tank repair kits work like in Battlefield games where they can damage enemy tanks? Don't see a tutorial mentioning this and I'd rather not do some field testing.

wow they give you a poo poo load of stuff all at once here, have your goku-scout, a ~third~ tank, a ~~battleship~~, the third tier for all weapons unlocked and a pony. have fun! edit: and two more leaders for maximum cp ofc rip my wallet edit: Elite classes come in at level 11, as usual. Engineers and Grenadiers don't get anything beyond the stat dump, but scouts get the trusty rifle grenade, troopers the less trusty flamethrower, lancers the lmaoworthy mortar-lance and snipers get interception fire, which is actually pretty good on the three shot rifle series. which means you can just completely ignore lancers I guess Gamerofthegame fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Sep 29, 2018 |

Man, I thought I was doing well in Chapter 6. I assumed defend for 4 turns after capturing all the bases meant ending on the fifth turn would be okay but nope, B rank. I'll just come back once everyone are Elites I suppose and be super agressive. I suppose since I constantly forget to equip the soecial weapons to people it doesn't matter too much, but still. Also, the Victory music being different depending on your rank sucks, instant negative feedback. Speaking of, in VC1 I remember almost all enemy weapons sucking. Are there any at all that are decent I should go out of my way to get? I think the Imperial Flamethrowers were better then the Gallian ones in VC1, as an example.

The Imperial ones that hurt more are technically better for interception for any strategies that revolve around that, but otherwise the mortars (the grenadier kind) can have different debuffs. Like taking their AP, for interception fire purposes. Other then that, though...

Help please there are a bunch of pillboxes with accessible ragnite containers next to them. those can be sniped. also, you can change the camera to an overhead view for mortars, which is all but required for targeting and allows you to hit some ragnite boxes that you've never actually spotted. mortars are also an excellent way to kill at and gatling turrets. another option is to just pop them with your tank. early on your tank cannon is kind of garbage at precise aiming despite the supposed long range, which means it isn't much good for hitting radiators in the distance. but for turrets, you don't have to aim for any weak points, and if you are in range for them to shoot at your tank you are probably in range to have very good accuracy.

Regarding switch performance, I've played up to the start of chapter 6 and the only thing I've noticed is some occasional (undocked-only) slowdown during shooting animations if there's a bunch of people shooting at once from the team-up mechanic, but other than that it runs great for me.

Also, the Victory music being different depending on your rank sucks, instant negative feedback. Yeah, you gotta kill the tank, since it stops the reinforcments then killing everything on the map ends it. It has a pretty pre-determined path of what it does so you can just park the Hafen + grenadiers close by to snipe the radiator (you might need to save scum a bit since the accuracy on the tank gun and mortars isn't great).

Let me guess, the 2 chicks with crossbows? They resulted in my post in the dragging things down thread. The only real winning option with them was to just intercept fire them, because they seem to have some ability to where, not only do they dodge all the time (INCLUDING MORTARS), but their retaliation fire *always* hit a headshot and for some reason those always one shot, despite them doing weak damage when they attack with them normally.

That said, I figured it out. They're fake scouts (and probably all on-foot bosses are) and they have a vision cone of 270 degrees around them, not 360. They also fire pretty slowly ofc and don't actually hurt too much on intercept fire, so just squirrel someone on one side (preferably sneaking up), attack, then hit the other side with someone else. This is true for all dodgy enemies like aces, really, though only bosses make it semi-mandatory. Which is the usual way of defeating bosses, really. Still a super obnoxious forty minutes until I figured something out.

First rule: Save-scum between rounds. This can mean the difference between 3 wasted Lancer rounds and 2 dead assault tanks. Second: By this time you know when and where the assault tanks spawn. Have some Lancers ready to go in position, preferably with an engineer to re-arm. Or face them at the beginning of the round when you get the backup fed tanks. I flat out ignored the pillboxes that weren't improvised or lacked the ragnite tanks nearby. They were mostly gatling, so I used tanks/cactus to run interference. Third: Snipers. Snipe the poo poo out of the enemy grenadiers. then use the tanks or Cactus to run your infantry past the gatling bunkers/emplacements. Everyone else is a standard scout/lancer/shock and you already know how to kill them.

I took that chapter slow the first time because I thought there might be a reward for keeping all the reinforcement tanks alive. Got a C rank for 6 turns and was annoyed, then did it again in 2 by taking out all the AT interception guns then having the APC face tank it's way through the interception fire and delivering a shocktrooper to the flag.

You can cheese the crossbow chicks by running them over with the tank to make them face the wrong way, so you can get a surprise attack. 3 shot burst sniper rifles kill them in one hit if all shots connect on the head. Works well on enemy aces too, but they're often tucked someplace where your tank can't reach.

Don't have her yet). I saw a quick video and I think the map it uses is Siegfal 3 so it's really just money gated. Also answering my own Enemy Ace question, Chapter 7-2 has an enemy tank that drops +80 AP on a 2x2 square for the Cactus. Not outstanding, but the most useful so far, and will probably make up for everytime I crash into a corner and other driving screwups.
