Which is going to happen 70% of the time outside of participants' faults, because this map is all about tight corridors, single doorways and turning corners. TBC is best suited for a wider arena if collisions are going to be on. You should at least be able to move through ONE guy standing in front of you so your turn doesn't get nullified for someone else ending theirs in front of you
This is a good point, as well. Gun skill + speed skill should only attribute to slight advantages in the chance to hit. I'm very heavily against the stat grind on this server. It makes me wanna cry.
no... NO it wouldn't Specifically the RNG hit shit. Let me put it this way. There's significant balance issues already with TBC, a rebel hyped up on every boost possible with a max gun skill, max speed. Is still going to have a hard time against a unit. Primarily because of how TBC favors the defensive. If this rebel were to go on the offensive, they'd get their shit kicked in, even with every odd in their favor. At the current state of TBC, its easier to actually fight as a rebel then it is as a unit as rebels are mostly on the defensive now. If you take away this advantage, with the fact units/ota get all the time in the world to practice their guns skills and speed skills. (In the case of OTA where you get all sorts of drugs n shit to boost you as well as the units do. As well as starting stats boosted to god knows what.) You're throwing TBC in major favor of the combine as they have ALL the resources and thensome with minimal to no work needed, to maximize their chance in RNG skill based TBC.
Thats specifically why headshots were removed from TBC but overall, TBC is fine as is, nothing about it should be changed outside of, perhaps allowing for a bit more freedom to utilize ambush style tactics. Like sure you can yeet a grenade to engage in TBC and it'll most likely kill several units in a PT or raid team. But it'll still start TBC.
One of the original 'upsides' I heard for TBC was to allow communication/roleplay during combat. Removing this removes whatever relevance team communication has had to combat so far. If it's none, then that's a shame. But being able to call things out during combat is a very valid tactic, and has been applied in real life to great effect. Not being able to call out you are low on ammunition or about to be flanked is just not a good thing, and would encourage stuff like discords or teamspeaks for voice communication.
Thing is, communicating during TBC when it's not your turn is a big, big advantage to Civil Protection/Overwatch. As soon as combat starts, during warm-up, a unit will radio in "11-99" and their location and ALL of the cops will come down to that location before the first two turns ended and you're fucked from that point onward. Not to mention that those cops will also block off your escape and exit routes if possible. It's frankly retarded makes any ambushes or guerilla stuff useless.
Speed skill is wacky, even with 50/50 speed on the dev server I lost initiative at random. imo it should just be more movement points and maybe more time per turn, from 6 to like 8 seconds.
Definitely agree. but I also feel like this will get bugged at one point and there will be copium.
This just seems like a core problem with TBC then. Gunshots are loud, and gunshots attract attention. And in TBC, you don't have the liberty of time to escape once you've hit whatever your target is, while cops swarm you. It's a slow system at it's core. Removing the main mechanic of a radio just to get TBC to work for one of the big sides doesn't represent it in a good light. This has been a long time complaint about TBC: it kneecaps rebels main method of combat, guerilla style hit-and-run warfare. Because TBC supports prolonged combat, not shooting someone and running the fuck away.
