ALPHYY: okay thanks
i will made more side missions, its not the problem that i run to fast forward
the KI has luck without ending, the enemy Griffin shoots 2 times with the ppk at one mech in 2 rounds and hits both time the head for an example
and my guys? they are blind ;(
Placing, skills and tactics is the key here. If you have los of long range weapons then sensorlock the enemy while still out of sight and take him down with long range weapons.
Always move or jump if you dont have bulwark to get less likely hit. I do love jumpjets and short range weapons here.
Use cover to reduce damage, if you dont have bulwark.
Concentrate on one enemy and stay off from the others as good as possible.
My mechs usually have AC20 and JJ. With an aimed shot, you can take down every medium with one mech. You can jump into the back and aim for CT and take down heavies the same esily. Just need good placement.
Refit your mechs, so that they get more useful. No ammo into a torso, max armor, jumpjets, AC20 and one ML in a hunchback or centurion at start, then move over to Orion.
Optimum skills to get for me bulwark, sensorlock and master tactician for later game.
