3.34

patched to 1.4

Balance:

Changed logic to Hipfire penalty: Longer weapons and barrels now decrease hipfire penalty
Added a new, separated Snapshot penalty; will follow the old logic, short weapons will have it decreased
Snapshot penalty will now apply to attacks with 2 aim level, reduced by 75%
Bullpup reduce snapshot penalty
Snapshot default penalty is now -30
No stock now only affects snapshot

PB range reduced to 6
there is now a second band of range called Close Range (roughly double pb range +1) in which the bonus from PB range will gradually fade away. Negative PB bonus will not apply at close range

Handguns have the same aim reduction as weapons with no stock, tweaked aim values of some
Increased the Aim of many weapons, small tweaks


Martial Arts Perk: no longer grant bonus accuracy for melee attacks. Now it will make Unarmed attacks have bonus damage based on dexterity. Defense is left as it is (will also work like vanilla for hyenas :P)

Blood now has CQC Training instead of Martial arts.

Added a hook that will change his perk in running games on combat start. (you will need to go to sattelite view for it to properly update on the merc info browser)


Increased max AP for all units in 1. This can be customized in the mod options

Added Sniper Scope x4 to PSG
All precision rifles had their aim increased by 1

Tweaked OW cth bonus

Tweaks to run and gun, should be more effective at close range

Decreased STR recoil breakpoint for pistol rounds, increased a bit for intermediate cartdriges

####################
Scope Overhaul:

####################
6x Sniper Scope now increase max aim actions by 2
PSO now increases aim actions by 1, crit is now increased by 10%
Bonus from Sniper Scope x6, x4 and PSO is now a per aim bonus. based on weapon accuracy
Bonus from Henzoldt scope to hit body parts reduced


This leads this scope class to have the max ceiling in aim accuracy, but need to spend a lot of actions to achieve it (due to max aim actions). They are also more efficient with weapons that already have high aim, and have low efficiency with low aim weapons. Will also work better with sharpshooter perk (if you can use that many aim actions.)

x2 Scopes:

They all grant a +2 aim
Increased prism scope crit per aim to 6%
Increase G36 scopes bonus crit to 20%
Increased WideScope bonus to Opportunity attack to 12%
ACOG scope now grants a bonus on first aim level, based on weapon accuracy
ACOG and WideScope now also reduces snapshot penalty by 10%

x1.5
Aug scope grants 3 aim bonus

The base increase in aim make them the most generic, they have some advantages even with low aim attacks and also with full aim attacks.


Reflex Sights

All RS increase aim accuracy by 3%
They now also further increase aim accuracy when in close range (about 13 tiles), Compact Reflex Sight has more bonus
Assalto Reflex sight bonus crit is now 10%
Smaller reflex sights now increase shooting angle by 10%, and the larger ones by 20%
They reduce snapshot penalty (25% for small ones and 15% for larger ones)


This class has big bonus when in close range, also are more efficient with weapons with low aim accuracy, as they have a flat bonus. They are also be a bit better for snapshots. The accuracy ceiling is not that high, but they are the ones that least need to spend AP to get their bonus.

Improved IronSight aim bonus is now 3%
################################

3.33

Balance:

##########################################################
Changes to Move AP from Mobile Shot, Run And Gun, and similar:

Now its calculated based on the Attacker Agility. The Stance AP of the weapon equiped will have a subtracting effect on the value. So rifles or SMGs with heavy stocks will move less than pistols or SMGs with light or no stocks. Less agile mercs will move less

As a base value, one handed weapons have 1 more ap movement, while rifles have 1 less

Minimum FreeMove ap = 5

The movement AP is now displayed on the action description

Heavy stock no longer reduces the number of attacks of the run and gun action

##########################################################



##########################################################
Swapping to weapons now has variable cost:

Unarmed, One handed melee = 0 ap
Pistols 1 ap (but will be free if not dual wielded)
MAC11 and Uzi, MP5K = 1 ap
Other melee = 2ap
SMGS = 2ap
Rifles, Precision Rifles, MGs, Shotguns = 3 ap
Heavy Weapons = 4 ap
M82 = 4 ap

#########################################END OF CLASSIFIED PORTION##################

---

Vertical Grip can be removed from AUG now
Fixed Veritcal grip on RPK74


##########################################################
Tactical grip has been reworked: it will now be a more close quarters oriented version of Vertical Grip
It reduces Recoil penalty less efficiently than V Grip, but reduces Hipfire penalty more efficiently
Instead of aim bonus, it has a 2% increase in PB range bonus
It also has the prone aiming penalty
No longer reduces swap cost
##########################################################
