Oddly I've never seen a weapon recoil like you show here in game. At least not when I'm shoting at an NPC, My bursts are normaly 1-2 hit or all miss. Unless I'm close then it's all hits. Are you shooting at your Merc or are you just aiming at the wall and fireing?

Reinforce,

I'm aiming at the wall ... good point though. I'll pop a round into my target dummy (Jabby) to initiate turn-based combat and then open with a triple burst at his legs... all done at ~ 70 m ... the fence to wall range.

I'm at work now so I won't be able to give you the results for a few hours.
If you happen to run a test before I post then lemme know.

I'm assuming the spread to be the same irregardless of the target but since you haven't seen this then it has me worried a bit.

thanks,
Rob

this is what I am saying when I say I can't see the target

you can see the message, Dragon does not have los to target, fire and score a hit, and again get the message, fire and get a hit on the target

and then this one, this guy has a LOS, fire on the target and get the message that he has no LOS

come on, I can hit people I can't see, but I can't hit people I can see

Maybe they got the words "can" and "can't" mixed up during translation from Russian ? [:D]

Sarge's point is valid, though. LOS is the achilles heal of an otherwise fine game. The instances of where a merc can see a target, but has no LOS to it are legion.

I've started having all my mercs pop up and look around before I fire at anything. That way, at least one of my mercs stands a chance at seeing an enemy that's standing 20 yds in front of the guy who has no LOS.
