Reinforcements for 8 waves in a row. Is this a bug?
I just played a mission where reinforcements arrived every single turn for 8-9 turns. The reinforcements had between 6-8 enemies per turn. Is this normal or a bug?
Total of 84 enemies were in that mission.

As far as I know, Advent can give you "trick missions" that lure you into them and then ambush you with everything they got.

Simply put, you're being rused. If you ever run into these missions, just escape.

My second mission in long war 2 is doing this I have to rescue some rebels, I played and got over ran pretty much and then decided there had to be something I could do to win so I decided to reload it and try didn't get no where near the waves the 2nd time through so if it's a trick mission like Vaultdweller said it needs to be told that it'self cause having 30 enemies one time and then load a few truns back and only have 8 enemies show up is a huge difference. and in no way can be planed for I mean having to wait for 30 enemies to take a turn takes forever and clearly you can see that the games code wasn't ment for it due to slipping of animations when so many people start getting on screen it seems your lucky if you actully get to see a animation without some kind of bug going on.

It's not about "hanging around". It's about not even having the chance to finish a mission, much less escape if you have 8 enemies on overwatch to hammer you TRYING to escape.

I hate this system.

they've increased most timers but instead you have these reinforcements evey turn

i gave up on that mod just now. its stupid.they spawn in a warp next to you with massive reinforcements...now there is hard, there is challenge, there is darksoul kind of hard and you got this mod ,complete garbage unfair difficulties.. i tried to escape but the skyranger would need 4 turn to arrive..i was dead by turn 2.all my best troops butchered. too bad tho because i liked all the new stuff adn features.. but the mission that you need to infiltrate to 100% at all time and even then its not enough most of the time is ..a bad feature i dont like it , the fair amount of retarded unbalanced in this mod baffles the mind.

Real Concealment = timers and reinforcement timers don't start until you break conceal.

If you still don't like it go to the .ini file and change the values for filling the reinforcement timer bucket. There is very very little in this game or mod that can't be tweaked to your satisfaction with a simple text edit of an .ini file.

*edit spelling.

Make sure you have 100% or more infiltration and try not taking on every mission you get. I learnt this halfway into this game. Not every mission is doable, only do the missions that are light with enemy activity.
