[dipstick] Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 I would like to know why people seem to go round harping on about auto shooting things or not auto shooting things. Does it make a difference which you choose, except for TUs and acc? Also, is there a reason for auto shots, they are more TUs for less Acc?

XcomVic Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 (edited) ok now..this is how i did it back in the day... if a damn alien is right in front of you... and you got the TUs, go Auto...obviously that would give a pretty damn good chance to get in a pretty damn good hits in... other than that reason, i did it on the rifles if i was in a jam...i got prety damn lucky a lot of the times....so its really personal preference to use it or not...

j'ordos Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Look at it this way: fire one snapshot with, say 30% hit chance, or fire three autoshots with, say 20% hit chance. with the first you have 30% chance to hit, but with the second you have three times 20% chance to hit, which totals out as more (at a cost of more TU's and ammo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[dipstick] Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 So what is the point? Snap shots (and very occassionally aimed shots) are SO much better?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcomVic Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 (edited) you havent read what we typed.... lets say we got an alien right in front of me... soldier : 50 TUSequipped: standard rifleDMG:25Alien HP with no armor: 100aimed shot: 30 tus 90% acc 1 ammosnap shot cost: 15 60% acc 1 ammoauto shot: 20 20% acc 3 ammo aimed x 1= 30 TUs = 25 dmg ALIEN= 75 HP (gonna be hurting and rdy to kill you)snap x 3= 45 TUs = 75 dmg ALIEN= 25 HP (gonna be hurting more but rdy to kill you nonetheless)auto x 2= 40 TUs = 150 dmg ALIEN= DEAD (if they all hit of course which i dont see why they wouldnt) this is a pretty damn crappy table but i hope you get the point..

[dipstick] Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 You said it yourself, snap shots take LESS Tus and are MORE accurate. I cannot see a point in them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
