Weird Combat Log observation

Post by Wiedrock »

Looking through some Ai vs Ai Combat logs I found a weird "mechanic" which makes small arms being shown occasionally as a cause for an hit, not sure if this is intentional.
  • It seems to only happen for the defending side.
  • It sometimes seems like it'd be some type of "last breath"-reaction after getting hit (for "Panzer/Mech Inf").
  • Mech Units MAY be more "rolled" for this (may also be related to other factors for those units (high EXP or so)).

I see the "disrupted by" message more common in air to ground shots, but also see a few of them in ground vs ground shots. I don't see that they are always small arms. They show up much less than the Target Disrupted message. I assume this is some less common route through the combat code (and a unique message was hooked up for this case). Why there is a different message would take some investigation, but I would assume it's WAD.
