Slon -> Mercs can't hit anything, grenades kill me (12/25/2008 12:59:21 AM)

I captured a few areas and have 3 mercs, including the custom merc who had his accuracy maxed out more or less at creation. I gave them decent rifles (like the 100 round rifle and another one that has even better range). Unfortunately, they still can't hit the broad side of a barn. And hand grenades absolutely destroy them. Oh, and each enemy somehow manages to have more grenades than the amount of grenades I've located throughout the entire game! Is there anything I can do?

You useing Max Aim? Have you patched the game yet?

Stance effects your aim. Your best place to shoot from is prone, However it's very hard to see from that stance unless your ontop of alittle hill. It is also costly to change targets while prone. If nothing else kneeling is your best bet, Costs alittle more AP to change targets or move your aim left and right but gives a good stable shot.

Grenades are deadly but do less damage the lower your stance it seems. If your caught standing you can take some high damage if not get out and out killed. I had a mini grenade kill 2 of my mercs becouse I was rushing and got caught to close to a tango and far to close together. My mercs were shoulder to shoulder. Beyond that best advice I can give is stay away from tangos and focus on any that get close.

Much Love,
Reinforce

aim at legs, until your good enough to get head shots

fireing burst mode, aim at legs (if nothing else, it knocks them down when it)

make kill zones, you want 2 or 3 guys who can being firing into the same target, support each other

that 100 round rifle, sounds like a Calaco, read what it is, it is a weak assult rifle, it is using 9mm pistol rounds, so it is short ranged

learn your ranges, each weapon has a range it is good at, after that, it sucks, and early on, SMGs and Pistols are not going to do much, other then point blank, and then they can be great, but getting to point blank range, puts well with in grenade range

first map, make sure you get those M-1s, one or two of those in your squad, will keep the bad guys honest

if you got to move, look for cover and concealment, and save enough AP's so you can at least drop to one knee

make sure you get the patch, that helps alot with the Grenade happy buggers, once the battle field is a little more even, you will see them guys are Grenade and ammo humpers for you

after a battle always check the ammo and weapons left behind, some of those AK's are sweet

everyday at 00:01 check DJ's, that is when he restocks, after a bit, you will start to get some good weapons, and the MGs will be doing wonders for you

overall, I can agree, most of these guys, would have trouble getting out of the boy scouts, but stick at it, and they will come around
