Didn't get that part - what is fixed actually: they'll use the first suitable call or they will not... :? Is that mean they'll use all possible calls from now on?

Well, the weapon's arsenal is growing but the stash's limit still remains the same.... :P
Seriously, I can't find much info for the sniper variant of Lahti-L39. Anyway, I only read that it cannot be used by single person due its weight(~ 50 kg) and length(~ 2,2 m).....
BTW I bet that MG-42 is The Soldier's model. ;)

Thank you, Jack, for making me visible, even by blind people now :P

I know one of you like the screen's shakiness during the arty :D, but the annoying part is that if you shooting while shaking, the aiming becomes much harder, even at close range..... :/

Yup, they previously only used the first matching call, i.e. paratroopers 4x or single mortar strike. Now they might use also other reinforcement or mortar/artillery strikes depending on their XP/RP levels. They still won't use vehicle calls.

Isn't that the point? :) You should a) get killed or b) not be effective when somewhere near the strike zone.

Agree, but that's not equal for both sides as I couldn't kill easy any bot/s, but they can.... why so?

Bots don't have screens.

I appreciate the humor, but not the idea..... :/
Thx for the answers, Pasi, and for your time as well :)

Being serious, it's just a missing feature; there's no existing way to give the AI an accuracy penalty due to heavy blasts happening nearby.

If it helps, you could consider that you as a player get certain advantages over the AI too, e.g. the AI doesn't see the gameplay from bird eye perspective but you do. I think that alone makes the players pretty far away in advantage.

Well, I wouldn't go into some deep conversations over the matter but as you say "an advantage from the bird-eye perspective" let me share my observations. For some time now I notice a things that happening since the last few versions. Some examples:
    - the enemies perfectly know where you are, despite the fact you use a SILENT WEAPON! Just get a silent wep, go closer(or even not so) to some enemy, shoot and wait - as soon as you stop shooting he'll ran to your position as if you've used a LOUD wep - never happened before.
    - while in stealth - as soon as you are trying to use a sandbag, some/one of them immediately coming to your position, kinda "accidentally" or just throws a nade at you, then just ignoring you, no fire or something :)
    - same happens when you're waiting silently for a good time to climb/move or something - as soon as you start, some/one of them immediately coming to your position(during your climbing of course :) ).
    - feel they are using "aim bot", yes, I feel exactly that - vey often they coming form the corners by firing.... how the hell they know you're there..... :shock:
    - and a few others

So that I'd say that those advantages aren't the most valuable anymore, most important is to not get caught with pants down. :D
No complaints, really but this becomes annoying just because such behavior is inexplicable and odd.

Come on man, you know pretty well they don't see you through walls, they just run towards the approximate origin of sound :)

Stealth may be similarly half-implemented, but still the AI doesn't have a clue where you are if you're not in sight.

We did consider implementing it for players too that you wouldn't see anything beyond the character's FOV but going there all hope on stealth would've been lost. Would've fit another type of game, I'm sure.

It is of course always good to remind us that there are things that could be improved - there certainly are, last time I checked we had a list of 700 things we could do for RWR 2.0. We can certainly pull in a few extras from these! :D

Exactly, just because I think, I know the game pretty well, so that am calling their behavior "inexplicable and odd"........ :roll:
