Full cover 1 shots???

[HitmanBarnes]

Why is it the enemies can shoot me across the whole map and while im behind full cover they 1 shot me every time???? Yet my guys cant even hit targets 3 blocks away and if they do hit it,s rarely a kill.

[MessiahofMelons]

Cover doesnt modify damage at all.

And its a low chance to hit. You just got unlucky

[KRON]

Aliens don't have distance penalties or bonuses. Their chance to hit stays the same at point blank and from across the map.

try to only get 1 pod at a time to trigger on you, and kill atleast 1 by the end of the turn they are activated. 2 enemies shouldnt beable to kill you even with 1 crit, and i mean people bleed out alot more foten now so even if u get crit and downs just evac that guy if u dont have meds

[talemore]

Cover don't protect from critical chances. Spam a shotgun or sniper rifle until you see a critical hit. The aliens have secret critical chances. Advent officers and sectoids are two who have a secret critical chance. This is why Advent officers can critical kill any soldier with cover.

Seriously io had to restart the mission over and ove, took 15 tries but kept getting 1 shot, why is there always someone who thinks everyone talks rubbish. i would not post otherwise.

well thats good to know......rather unfair tho especially on legendary as vetran mode is to easy and gets boring, next difficulty dont feel any diffrent to legend so i went on there and its just brutal. goin from vet to next 1 is a brutal change but its that or get bored on vet.

There is new setting where both you and enemies have larger HP pool.

It does not amke game exactly easier (imho way ahrder as usual tactic is kill enemy before they ahve chance to do any harm) but on other hand it prevents random (un)lucky shots one hit your guys and ruin your day..

Because people only remember the bad percentages. They forgrt about the constant 80%+ they always get themselves.

But if its the first mission. That mission is one of the hardest in the game bevause its only rookies.

Be liberal with grenades there is only 6 enemies on the map

I know how the game works and wont take any shaot less that 75% unless i really need to, when i miss 4 80% shots in a row then they 1 shot me over the map it gets annotinng is all and makes no sense.

Because is nonsense. If you keepm laod saame point the numbers are already predetermined but jsut move other guys a bit and there will eb no crit anymore, possible even miss.

And yes, get critical shot on enemy in (any) cover is nto soemthing you see often - hence write "every time" is false.

That seems like an awful way to design a "strategy" game. Putting an observable system in place and having a second, secret system behind the scenes sabotages the entire idea of tactical planning.

[Black Raven]

I personally like thee mod that make cover 30 for low, 45 for full, and with a Damage reduction, 1 for full cover, a and 33% change of 1 for low cover.

And its fair as aliens get same benefits
