Your starting pilots in career mode suuuuck. I think that the two things you really need to know areġ) pilot skills are king. I recommend playing without mods or at the least without significant mods as most of them either make the game much easier or produce highly derivative gameplay loops. It’s pretty rough in terms of mastery because there is a slight disconnect between how things work and how the game presents things as working but the play is overall very strong and stompy. You can step on tanks and fly into helicopters and blap blap things Hows the gameplay of MW5? I got back into Battletech and the idea of a FPS version of Battletech just without (from reviews) the engaging story sounds good. Target evasion, the white chevrons to the upper right of every enemy unit name (not to be confused by the colored to-hit chevrons that appear on both sides of the target you have selected), reduce your chance to hit for every chevron they have. Low Gunnery pilots have worse to-hit chances. All weapons get worse numbers the farther away you are. You can see everything that is affecting your shot % in the panel in the lower right, above the weapon selections, when you have a target selected and you hover your mouse over each weapon in your list. To hit numbers will vary based on range, target evasion, how you moved, height differential, target size, accuracy bonuses of the weapon, pilot skill, etc. It doesn't necessarily represent where you will have the best chance to hit. The whitest area being where the most of them overlap. Unless you have just a single weapon selected, the firing cone is an average of all your weapons' ranges you intend to fire. The tutorial didn't really go over this (maybe I missed it). I toggle the weapons and the weapon cone seems to give me optimal range (for example Glitch's Short Laser has zero coverage beyond a few yards in front of her face). I thought the white weapon cone was telling me my options but putting enemies in the most solid white still gives me incredibly low chances to hit. Will jump into this once I finish Battletech campaign.ĮDIT: Speaking of Battletech I still must be missing something with recommended range on weapons. Looks really similar to Battletech though (at least the ship management). I might have to do the Campaign on this one to learn the ropes because I died on the first mission. So I picked it up (couldn't resist) and hooboy I didn't know it was a simulator.
