<r>I now have a definitive love for the Heavy Meson Gun. The AC7 is nice, and has its uses, but on my last battle, using a HMG, I destroyed the Left Torso of my target with my first shot. AC20 ammo blows up in a really <B><s>[b]</s>BIG<e>[/b]</e></B> way. <E>:D</E><br/>

Doesn't always happen ...

Well, yeah, that makes sense. Duh.

I was wondering if it was a version difference. The patch probably cleared it up.

No apology needed; we were both right.

I checked things as best I could, and it still didn't add up. I'll let Larkin decide what he would tell me.

<t>I believe the called shot percentages are calculating incorrectly. I have never seen a called shot hit percentage higher than 48% for a Head shot, and that was with an energy weapon (0 weapon penalty) at range 0 (0 range penalty) against a prone Titan (bonus + to-hit). As I stated in the main ...

I'm flipping this topic over to the Bug forum.

<t>First what I know:<br/>
<br/>
* Hit percentages are capped at 98%.<br/>
* Called shots lower the hit percentage, but increase the likelihood of hitting the targeted location.<br/>
* The hit percentage passed to the called shot formula is the capped percentage.<br/>
* Thus, the highest percentage ...

<r>Had a crazy thought and decided to throw it out to see just how insane it is. What do you think about allowing called shots for guided missiles?<br/>

I know, it flies in the face of tradition, since everyone knows that called shots can only be made with direct-fire ...

Bblue, would you post your final version of the Poignard? I'm curious to see how you shook it down.

<t>OK, finished the second map (finally). Have to agree with Iceman, the dungeoncrawl feel detracts from the campaign. Plus, thinking realistically, these are supposed to be hills and mountains we're talking about; they're not going to up and disappear on a radio signal. Not to mention it makes the ...

IGOUGO? Much as it galls me to admit, that's a new one on me. Translation, anyone?

I would like Single Player Missions for any and all occasions. Specific rank, variable rank, doesn't matter. I agree with most of what MahaROGa said about random battles vs mission battles. It's nice to have an objective that isn't "Kill all the bad ...

<r>For continuous fire, yes, the heat dissipation's a bit slow. Careful heat management required. But remember the ranges involved. The SRMs will be in range long before the TS will, so look at the TS as a knockout blow--fire it when they're on the ropes to put them away.<br/>

Besides, the ...
