Random Tips (Trying to be Spoiler Free) Ready, Set, Go: You can pre-move guys on your transport, if you go to the aircraft screen, and click on the helo, you should see a grid of green soldier icons. Primary mouse lets you move them, and secondary mouse lets you rotate them. So you can have guys standing at the side doors already turned to look out at the start of turn 1, saving you precious TU in the case of an ambush. Also the 1-9 on them lines up with the list you assign soldiers to, so if you make 8 and 9 the door people then you can make sure that 8 and 9 are the soldiers you want in that position. It's also fun to move the other soldiers around which helps remembering, like oh, 1-3 is the first rank at the back, so when I'm assigning soldiers I see 1,2,3 and go right, that's tip of the spear isn't it. Reaction Fire: If I'm trying to avoid reaction fire, I only want to move a short distance (5-15 TU depending on how fast the soldier is) and then take one action (grenade or shot), which leaves my soldier with enough TU (I like to have 30+ left) to not trigger reaction fire from most enemies, some of them are twitchier tho. Then I move on to the next guy until all the threats have been... dealt with. It is the TU you have at the end of your action, be it a shot, or each tile of movement, (I think even turning on the spot counts, as it consumes TU), which is used. So if it leaves you with less TU then the alien's reaction score * alien's remaining TU (and enemies on turn 1 have 100% TU) then you get shot at. Also, they need to be facing your soldier, cause they use view cones too, but do the aliens all have the same view cones that you do? maybe, maybe not, maybe i know, maybe i don't know, maybe i made it all up, maybe you don't even have view cones, maybe that's a spoiler, maybe it's hard to talk about view cones without covering it, cause if you try to sneak up on an alien that has a wild view cone and they turn close to a full 180 to shoot you it feels not great, but that isn't a bug in the code, although they do look like bugs. Regrouping: It can take time in-game to get everyone together after the map has calmed down, but using spacebar you can fast forward your soldier's movement animation, which helps make it not cost you the player your time to get everyone together for the last push, there is no time bonus for completing these missions in fewer turns, so if recording time per mission is the only concern, then you can speed your soldiers' animations along with spacebar when you want to regroup. I'm trying not to spoil anything, or give advice that's like "oh yeah, just do this one thing and win every map," cause that's boring. These are some tools that I hope will just be fun for you to have in your toolbox when you're playing the game.

2:52:12 Your guy couldn't shoot at him from where he was standing, the wall is in the way. But because of the way the game handles cover, from the alien's perspective he may as well have been standing out in the open. The Community Edition of Xenonauts 1 fixed this not-technically-a-bug, giving soldiers the ability to shoot around corners they're standing next to, and giving those corners cover values that actually work like they would in real life. But for now, corners just... don't. Like, at all. It's especially frustrating because logic dictates that corners _should_ be good to hide behind; instead, they're worse than useless, they're actively harmful.

Light Machine Gun: A handheld mcahine gun essentially. Bipod type arrangements Heavy Machine Gun: A mounted machine gun. Vehicle mounts, emplacements type thing. Medium Machine Gun: Able to do both. But, generally, either not as good at either, or still better at one and thus called that. The MG42 is something of an example of this, with it being able to be used with a bipod, or mounted on a stationary tripod.

It's worth adding that those definitions have changed over the years, a more modern version would be; Light Machine Gun: (relatively) light weight infantry weapon, usually in an intermediate caliber, able to be effectively operated by a single person. Heavy Machine Gun: Larger weapons firing larger more potent cartridges, bridging the gap between machine guns and light cannon, often mounted to vehicles or in fixed emplacements. General Purpose Machine Gun: full-size rifle caliber MGs, often with a modular design, used both as infantry and emplaced weapons, often as a co-axial or defensive weapon on AFVs.

Fox-1, 2 and 3 are actually all for missile seeker designations. I don't remember the exact order but they're essentially: Dumbfire missiles, Heat Seekers and Radar Seekers

I've done a quick research, for anyone who cares. Fox-1 is guided by an external radar (it passively detects reflections of radar signal, so you have to keep a lock on target). Fox-2 is infrared homing missile (heat-seeker, so it's a fire-and-forget kind). Fox-3 has an active radar system of its own (so once it's launched its radar takes over the job). Before active radar missiles Fox-3 was used for guns and cannons. Fox is short for Foxtrot, which is the NATO phonetic designation for the letter "F" for "fire". And "bogey" was used in WWII by the RAF for unidentified (possibly hostile) aircraft, possibly because of the bogeyman - which is usually considered to be a monster or a phantom without a specific appearance, a similarly potentially hostile unidentified presence.

I'm pretty happy with what I saw here for the air combat mini game. Deployment zone, missile insta fire, choice of roll direction. It wasn't broken so instead of fixing it they just improved it.

Bogey kind of came to mean anything that's a pain in the ass. It comes from the same concept as bogyman, bogle, _bucca,_ _puca,_ Puck, and several other concepts. The fae concept of the word was largely replaced by goblin/hobgoblin from the French _gobelin,_ Norman _goubelin,_ influenced by Germanic _Kobold,_ Dutch _kabouter_ (what we would call a gnome), Latin _cobalus_ (“mountain sprite”), Greek _kóbalos_ (“rogue, knave; goblin”). Sorry Ben, this is what happens when you ask a question related to someone's special interest 😅 I tried to be merciful enough to keep it under 5 paragraphs.

More flashbangs, especially when assaulting a ufo. Bring more shotgunners/ shielders to storm the ufos. Load up the shield guys with flashbangs to suppress aliens in the ship and use the assault guys to execute them. Also when overwatching the UFO try to do it from the sides rather than directly in front to avoid letting all the entrenched aliens fire at your guys.

Ben, if you approach an enemy and you aint gonna fire do kneel down. It makes your units severely harder to hit while just standing up makes them easy to kill. Warden armor is worth using on all your peeps until you got better options as it provides decent protection but, more importantly, is lighter than the guardian armor. Providing your troops with more capacity to carry ammo. Which the Laser Troops will appreciate Also, thus far, corpses are just free money. So are captured aliens

I've found smoke grenades to be OP in the current build. I expect them to be nerfed hard shortly. I run 2 (or 3) to 1 smoke to anything else for consumables. A lot of utility, and stun damage is pretty OP at the moment
