ESPECIALLY in X-COM : TftD.

I don't know why it being day or night affects sight 2000 feet down though. It's pretty dark all of the time.

And the aliens do have a sight advantage at night in this one I believe.

look closely on the map and you will see that not all parts of the world are deep. some are deeper and darker while others are closer to surface and brighter. so when you down the ailen craft into shallow watter it's logical that it's a bit brighter.

OMFG.
I started playing this game again after growing a bit tired of UFO (my base got attacked and destroyed and I hadn't saved for a very long time) and everything was working fine and I entered my first mission bravely. Killed all aliens I encountered until I met one bastard in the darkness... seems I encountered some sort of bug where this alien had auto-shot and it seemed as if his shots didn't cost him any time units. So not only did I rush him with 7 men and they ALL got killed (mind you, it was ONE aquatoid in the first mission on the BEGINNERS level), it took forever as well to fight it since he misses 9 out of 10 shots.

Oh... my... f*cking... god!

yes suonic pistols use very low ammount of time units. so if the aquatoid was commander or some highranking officers he would have a lot of time units to spare and autoshot is cheap on sonic pistol. also the aliens carry ammo with them.

you will see later in game the giant dinosaur like alien that is somewhat equivalent to your vehicle. he is armed with sonic cannons of some sort and can be really troublesome because he can shoot fast (auto) and lot of shots. luckilly he is not precise.

Once you will get the sonic vehicle you will also dominate them as it has 100 shots at it's disposal. sonic pistol also has a lot of ammo in one clip.

Shallow being 1000 feet down or more. That's still going to be very dark.

And Guass pistols do fine for a bit at least. Guass rifles are pretty good.

I don't care what you're saying I still think my version has a bug.
Now when I restarted the game and played, my entire crew got killed by ONE alien even before they got out of the ship. He most've shot a 100 shots and killed all my men. THAT is not normal, especially when I'm playing on the beginners level.

i got a problm i can't receh meg-nav evan wan i have the stuff for it. :eeeeeh:

I think he said he can't research meg-nav(?) even when he has the right (insert your best guess here).

why would he need 100 shots for 12 men? :blink:

no you can't. you need to capture a live alien commander and interrogate him. he will tell you how mag. navigation works. and then you could research it. :bye:
