I like everything about it except the sound it uses when it fires.

[Gortef]

I bet that thing has at least a built in mp3 player, so amp up the volume enough that you can't hear the cannons.

[TrashMan]

Experiencing some crahses related to fighting (and winning agaisnt) heavy fighters, so the next part may take a while.

[TrashMan]

Managed to get everything working again.

Our first terror mission guys... and everyone survived. It was surprisingly easy (since it's usually a slaughter).

This is also the longest video so far, clocking in at 30 minutes.

It's currently being produced and I'll set it to start uploding when I go to work tomorrow.

[Gortef]

Can't wait to see us kick arse again, especially in a Terror mission.

Combat diary part 3
------------------------------

Yeah, while sitting in the brig, I had some time to think about how to work with those ***-d**n POS things they dare to call "rocket launchers". Since all rockets swerved to right, I compensated the aim heavily towards left, and the accuracy improved radically. Do our techs have their alignment benches on a curved surface or what? To be honest, that wouldn't surprise me a bit, being the sarcastic pricks they are.

Oh, I managed to surprise a couple of those alien m*******rs hiding what they thought was cover. They thought wrong; good ol' 77 mm rocket packs a punch, especially with Alenium warheads. I actually was able to fire an alien hiding behind a magazine kiosk through its back window, now that did drop some jaws.

Trashman and Starslayer are probably the luckiest SOBs I ever met. Starslayer was shot more than twelve times with plasma, but lived to tell another tale. Ditto for Trashman, but in a lesser extent. The base personnel is already calling Starslayer "Lucky strike" or "The Stand". Either goes, I guess.

Memo to myself: start writing "Hi there!" notes to the rockets

[StarSlayer]

It was Steelwarrior that took all the plasma to the face, I was the one lighting up xenos with the new laser projector rifle.

[Gortef]

Damn I suck with a sniper. Luckily other members can help finishing the targets.
I hope I can notch up my accuracy a bit soon.

[TrashMan]

Actually you're pretty good given the range and obstructions, and you'll only get better.

There is an accuracy cap at some point mind you

[Gortef]

Right. I just thought so given the many times I've succeeded in only suppressing the targets instead of hitting them in a more leathal way. Though as it seems suppression is a good thing.


Kind of like in Battlefield 4 actually, I really suck at sniping in BF... I get many suppression points but less kills.
So thinking that way my Xeno avatar has the same sniper skills as the original, and it kind of makes sense

Never heard of xenonauts, but sign me up for the next rotation.

No problem. I'll put you up with a shield and lots of C4.

I think we're gonna need ALL the C4 we can carry for the Alien Base assault. Those missions are a special kind of difficult, given that there are tons of aliens in prepared defensive positions, while your own cover and movement is limited.

[TrashMan]

Can you say TOTAL PARTY WIPE?

No sooner did we end this mission, a new Terror mission in russia happened.
Much tougher aliens, much tougher mission. And reapers (a.k.a. Chrysallids).

2 died, 2 got zombified, the rest panicked as ALL the aliens swarmed the Chinnok. Ohh, we killed tons of them, but there ware just too many, they are too accurate and too agressive. Combined with the reapers, it was impossible to hold out. I also frakked up our loadout, dooming us even further.

I have a save before the attack, so I'm thinking re-loading and skiping the Terror mission for now.

I did update to v20 stable Hotfix  2, so it might have something to do with that too.

[Mika]

Game over man, GAME OVER!

  Sorry, could not resist

[TrashMan]

Allright, since no one suplied an oppinion, I'm going to re-load.

We'll probably skip this terror mission then.
I'm just gonna stockpile weapons for the base assault.

[Gortef]

Well it would be nice to see if we can fight a bit further.

[TrashMan]

Well...I decided to have another try at the terror mission.
I overloaded everyone with as much explosives and rocket launchers and best equipment I had. And we arrived at the terror location at night to make things worse, but I couldn't afford to wait since the clock was ticking.

The battle was chaotic and brutal. It was a miracle, but we won. We did have casualites tough.

Flashfire died bravely in the service of humanity and Earth. Dispatching 2 aliens and tying up seveal others, he has fallen under a incredibly accurate barrage of fire from multiple aliens. Despite grevious wounds, he remained standing and died from bleeding and trauma moments later.
Had I given him Wolf armor he might have survived.
Alas, I didn't have enough Wolf to go around and I figured for a sniper, a lighter Buzzard+jetpack was a better choice.

Deathfun is gravey injured and will be out of comission for a while.

I have hired a dozen new recruits, so we have a steady influx of replacements, ready and waiting. Maybe Flash had a brother/sister/friend/clone who would want to avenge him?
