@OP,

The link you gave on that other thread had tynan show the previous accuracy table. I'm looking at the newest update now and it's pretty damn different. The tables as it is right now in UA17:

Yep, think he made changes since that thread. Believe that thread happened yesterday just prior to a patch, and then there was another patch today where he mentioned again that those numbers were changing:

"Corrected shooter accuracy calculation tables. Updated shooting accuracy description a bit."

Yah was wondering if you think it look more balanced. There certainly less 'packing' as that other fellow in the ludeon forums was talking about. Sniper seem to be now effective for only lvl 17 shooters and above.

From an early play through I am liking it. But don't think I've really played long enough to tell. Going straight by the numbers I think I like what I see. I'd rather have the "feel" for it before really making up my mind.

I get your point. In previous alpha builds like A16, I was suspicious of something else affecting accuracy. If you increase the difficulty, your pawns overall accuracy would drop but the tooltip would display the same numbers. Now in UA17, the tooltip appears to reflect what I've been experiencing. If it says 50% accuracy shot from pawn XYZ, I would see 1/2 maybe 1/3 shots connecting.

Mind you, from what I can tell, the tooltip also mentions shooter % which might be the numbers from the table (or whatever function that table derives it's number from).

On a seperate issue, if you activate dev mode and hit the raid 3000 point button, the game turns into a slide show on my PC. As soon as they start attacking, it runs fine again. I think it's something to do with the AI figuring out the pathing for 1251672935 raiders (I couldn't count how many out there).

Edit: I was messing around with a shotgun toting trigger-happy pawn. They're pretty damn strong at 7 tile range lol.
