Large and Massive Units

[Chief Smackahoe]

what are the large and massive units? I have my arty set to only fire at massive units on auto fire at max range and they never shoot, even during the main boss during final recovery.

Massive units are... well, massive, the Large enemies would include things like the tanks and Apostle mechs, the Massive ones are literally the size of your screen, they don't spawn till the Snow map

Massive are the Kronos and Cirus with iterations.
Large are the rocket tanks, apostles, and those flying helicopter things in City Ruins that are need to be removed from this category asap.

i can see a red line that goes from my arty to the massive units but it never fires. Why?

Did you switch them to direct fire?
Indirect fire has much shorter range (~12,000) dispite what you configure as the max range.

Only things I can think of is, a. they are somehow out of range (Doubt it), set to indirect fire causing a. to occur much closer, c. something is in it's way so it doesn't have a direct line of fire (Turrets don't seem to shoot if they can't actually hit the target, with the exception of the ground or objects with a health pool) d. Auto-fire is turned off, or maybe bugged?

All my CIWS turrets seem to ignore swarms spawned by Cirus. What type of target are they?

Missiles are top priority in my config. How can it be that swarms are ignored then?

No clue but that's what the testing I've done has shown and other people have confirmed. Next time you do a City map with Crius try to configure all your CIWS to max range and each on a separate item and see which/if any fires. It could just be target overload as turrets will fixate on one target until it's dead before they go back to their priority list.

Last I heard the swarms were considered small albeit i'm unsure most of my turrets are set to everything and deal with em.

[Chief Smackahoe]

I will try direct fire. Maybe that’s where I’m messing up

Any news here? I also wonder how to kill Crius swarm
