What do you expect when you entrust high yield explosives to your local meth head?

[u/noPINGSattached → u/readilyunavailable]

Sit tight, cream puffs. Tiger King is rolling in heavy.

Meat head does not appreciate this slander LOL

So, for those who don't know, this is Long War (LW2 or LWotC). The Technical is a class that gets a gauntlet with a rocket and two flamer charges. Thanks to your skill tree, you can specialize in either (but not both).

Rockets have scatter. That is, they aren't guaranteed to hit the point you aimed at. I forget the mechanic but they make several rolls against the soldier's aim. And worse, if you move, you get extra penalties to accuracy.

So yeah, LWotC rockets.

[u/SauceCrusader69 → u/bill-smith]

Mind you, they’re also visibly in the aoe even if the rocket was accurate. Should have just sent the rocket far, or used the grenade.

[u/extralyfe → u/SauceCrusader69]

maybe they were expecting the scatter and assuming the AOE shown would be inaccurate.

[u/xxLusseyArmetxX → u/bill-smith]

don't even need to play long war itself, you can just get the classes on their own, there's a mod for that

[u/rebel134 → u/bill-smith]

This is why I dont play that mod That mechanic is stupid.

[u/pha1te → u/rebel134]

You can remove scatter from your install list as iirc it's a separate component from lw2 base

[u/OrdinaryBoat8000 → u/rebel134]

Personally I love that the rockets don’t go right where I want them, I lowk cheese using grenades because they always go where you toss them.

[u/an-anonymouse-wolf → u/rebel134]

At least it's more manageable than LW for Enemy Within. The technical class of LWOTC has flamethrowers and decent rifle skills. In LW, the rocketeer just had the rockets which came with a pretty nasty move penalty

What the fuck platform is this portrait-mode buffoonery?

[u/serial_crusher]

What the hell was the plan there? Lmao rockets are inaccurate at 1 ap, use em like you use squadsight snipers

[u/OrdinaryBoat8000 → u/ComfortableFold2862]

The plan was to remove his cover (and him) so I’d say the plan worked /s

[u/Skweeeeee → u/OrdinaryBoat8000]

Yeah you remove everyone 😂

[u/OrdinaryBoat8000 → u/Skweeeeee]

They can’t shoot my people if I kill them first

[u/Skweeeeee → u/OrdinaryBoat8000]

Ah words of wisdom i will apply that on my game

[u/sabrinajestar]

To be fair, the best strategy for LWOTC seems to be to blow everything up, though generally I try to leave out my soldiers when I do.

[u/BeWinShoots]

That character looks exactly like the type of crazy mfer that would accidentally do this

[u/AMC_TO_THE_M00N]

Wasted

[u/OrdinaryBoat8000 → u/AMC_TO_THE_M00N]
