JA3 Tactician Enhanced

This mod was absolutely great for players, who solved the vanilla game on mission impossible level with all further difficulties (as mercenaries gaining less experience and are more expensive, more enemies, bad weather etc.) and are looking for a much higher challenge! Unfortunately, when I wanted to finish my second run with this mod after a break of a couple of weeks, the mod felt broken even playing with level 10 mercenaries. Therefore, I would very much appreciate, if the mod could be reset to the status from June/July 2025.

Update eh? courious

the idea behind the mod is great, but the execution ... not so much.
straight up cheating enemies with 50 odd AP, reactive fire thats triggered per bullet instead of per shot, enemies that dont care about your stealth and know where you are etcetc
yea nah..

Interesting mod and I certainly enjoy that it makes the enemies more aggressive but unfortunately most of the improvement comes from the enemies straght u pcheating. I've seen enemies shooting my soldiers repeatedly, turn after turn through entire hills or concrete buildings with no line of sight whatsoever, having 30 or so AP(run+auto fire+burst fire+overwatch) and being able to go into concealment overwatch while being visible to my soldiers and in direct lne of sight. Additionally "Repositioning phase" often means "take a full turn during player's own turn" for some reason.

And this feature:

*The last survived enemy during the combat will "charge" to end the battle ASAP.

Never works. Last enemy is either in concealed overwatch behind the corner or just sitting somewhere doing nothing.

It spices up the gameplay for sure but the constant feeling of AI playing by an entirely different set or rules is unappealing.

@healbot, I totally agree with you. I do like this mod make AI intelligence. but some of those come from just give them more AP somehow break it. those who man the MG or overwatch will get hammer by AI, make those tactical moves worse.

and I must said.

Retaliation Opportunity Attack with CQB armament if the opponent striking other targets in "PointBlankRange". ( [HARD BOILED] Optional Enhancement! )

this is nice, and cool, but please dont make it counter per "HITS"? I would said per trun is great.
I land a muti-hit shotgun and I got killed by enemy react, because I "hits" many of them. or full-auto at pointblank range, they fire 15 times shotgun fire at me(how the fuck? you only got 2 rounds) , which means 100% death plus totally overkill.

this kinda deny the use of shotgun. or any CQB combat.

the most funny part is if you act fast enough, you can kill the retaliation one before he kills you.

@healbot, 'can't be disabled', eh? Mod settings, anyone?

+ enemy's stealth, overwatch, granades usage.
- enemies powered not by intelligence but double APs (like move + full auto + full auto is okay).
- enemies always know where you are, can ambush a merc who was stealthy before the battle and was never spotted.
- stealth is garbage now.

verdict: despite the positive improvements in ai behavior, the built-in cheats that can't be disabled not only ruin everything, but make it worse. in the trash

PSA C-UAE major update just dropped. 🚀

Changes were extensive so there is no-zero chance for some minor bugs. Please report 🙏

so 60% stealth option in mod its quite brutal, so i had to lower it for sanitarium map to even been able to sneek into basement withput killing guards. So i recomend to lower this option, when you play sanitarium map. Overall i enjoyed gameplay more with stealth option to almost 0%, as i could do melee kills once again.

yes there seem to be problem with stealth, because i get detected at the edge of the map by sanitarium guard units trough the wall. This is crazy. CAnt even enter map withput triggering units.
