I've been trying out the game and one thing that would be pretty neat is an option to "mount" items such as machine-guns or even sniper rifles on the appropriate objects in the environment. That way you get a good cover from whatever you are hiding behind and aren't forced to always go prone. Related to this, are there any plants to add destructible objects in the future? Or even an engineering component to the game, where you can add barb-wire meshing or tank-traps, or things like mines. |

A thought I had is actually involving the squad option. perhaps with a squad you can form a "machine gun squad" which makes it more efficient and allows it to deploy a tripod, reload faster (or use a belt system), and spot targets quicker. |

In regard to your first issue. If you go up to a low wall, a crate, or any other waist high piece of cover, your character will face its back towards the wall. This is cover. You can hide behind it by crouching and when you shoot, you don't go prone. |

It would be nice if this feature was made a bit more consistent, since at least so far, it's pretty finicky for me. |

hmm. what do you mean by finicky? I have never really had an issue of getting behind cover but if you would elaborate, perhaps someone on the forums could help you out. |

The objects you can crouch behind will allow you to stand up and shoot over them simply by pressing the fire button. You don't need to let go of the crouch button. If you just shoot the wall then the object is too high for you to shoot over. You can't shoot around corners/lean at the moment, but I'm not sure if that's something to be added or not. Try doing it with the boxes you see around the level. Crouch and go up against it, then with crouch pressed try shooting. You should stand up and shoot over automatically. For uneven walls and such it's more difficult to tell if you can shoot over it or not, though. It would be better if instead of the crosshair telling whether you have line of sight, it would tell you if you had line of sight were you to shoot (and thus aoutomatically stand up). If anybody has played the new Jagged Alliance or seen a video they know what I mean by this, I'm not sure how to describe it. |
