Description
About This Mod
A brand new* Proficiency class!.

Introducing, the Artillerist! This class is designed to be a long-range support sniper. Wielding Sniper Rilfes or Vektor Rifles and Grenade Launcher, this unit is able to blast from afar, with either targeted removal or support bombs.

The core concept is based around it's unique Squaddie skill: Artillery Shells. This skill increases launch range and blast radius of all grenades at the cost of reducing the damage from those grenades. This makes it perfect for support grenades but can still use explosives for shredding armor and large AoE chip damage.

Skill Trees
Assassin: This tree focuses on single strike shots and elimination of specific threats on the battlefield as a sniper.
Support: This tree focuses on grenade support, prioritizing flashbang and smoke grenades with limited use of explosives.
Ambusher: This tree focuses on enhancing the versatility of the soldier on the battlefield.

*new is relative. New to the Workshop, but the first spark of this idea was Feb '23, the class was built in Apr '24 and first release is Sept '25 :) Remember folks, just because an idea is old doesn't mean it is bad.

Okay. That makes sense.

Ah, fair. Unfortunately, increasing AoE + range without reducing raw damage would make this just Grenadier++ which would be quite unbalanced. While base damage is reduced, environment damage is NOT touched, so it will still blow up all the buildings.

It's mainly the mention of "reducing the damage" followed by none of the trees (at least by description) boosting it back up.

Oh? Increased blast radius grenades will definitely flatten a building...

Hmm. The class name made me think there would be at least part of it focused on simply demolishing the area.
