We're the heavy squad of the Merc company. A regular Sniper rifle is far too elegant and precise. :) I assume that there's a recon / sniper section on the orbat somewhere though.
12 Brawn huh? @inane.imp So I guess that means that none of the P.C.s (our characters) have a normal sized Sniper Rifle as part of their weapon loadouts?
Lot's of things that go bang though.... Although apparently we're about to throw a chunk of those out the back of the shuttle. :) Honestly, I'd think about the problem differently. Our Kazak friend is on top of the the airfield defence. The 2 SBS guys are clearing the shore side. There's the Lizard on call as a reserve. Neither of you guys can do much about the quantronic attack. So I'd recommend a clearing patrol along the likely attack axis.
I see. So someone with 12 Brawn would be able to fire it then. Ballistics skill would also factor into the accuracy part of the shot hitting? @inane.imp I agree about being mostly covered. I just was thinking about a possible action in the future.
That's kind of my point: defensively we're set. So now would be the opportunity to go out locate the 'enemy' before they can launch an attack on their timing. Brawn to fire the ammo without penalty, BS to hit. Tech to strip the weapon from the TAG.
Firing it without enough brawn can cause damage to the person shooting. I forget the exact number you can @ me if my equipment is needed. Otherwise it shoots like a normal gun.
@inane.imp technically Alistair Molotok has optic sights and extended barrel. As for now I asked if there are any contacts around, only agdle for attack would be waterside due to fact we are on isle, so we may not precisely have opprotunity target to intercept yet especially if it is submerged. Also, well Alistair does have 12 Brawn. It is time to acquire a sniper rifle then.
@loricus @inane.imp Thank you both for the explanations. I don't think I'll have to fire the Sniper Rifle this time around but I'll keep it in mind if I ever need to use it. @Beodren Hope you roll well then Dogman. Work those Scottish muscles and make the lassies swoon.
You drove from the base, so it says to me that there’s enough room for stuff to be on the island. I’m assuming that the landing field is on the waterline, so I’m assuming that there’s another approach. Hacking from range is also quite difficult. Inserting a repeater somehow is how I’d set up my attack if I was Svengali. I could well be wrong, it’s just how I see the problem.
Inland option is possible, but from what we know scan and attack is coming from offshore location. It is option worth considering none the less.
@loricus ; @Golem2God ; @inane.imp ; @Beodren . . . Honestly I DO NOT UNDERSTAND what the Problem with Sniper Rifles or not is; apart that the Autocannon-Caliber Heavy Sniper Gun that the U.S.Ariadnan Mecha Suit is toting around is ENORMOUS and the Dogwarrior could fire it, PERHAPS single Shots, PERHAPS if immobile and PERHAPS prone in an Ideal Firing Position. . . What is the issue with NOT finding a Sniper Rifle for the Morat; there are VARIOUS weapons OF ALL SIZE around the Tarmac; even if it is the "Personal Longarm" of an Allied N.P.C. that last will make NO FUSS about lending it to a Higher Ranking Merc (such as the Player Characters are). . . . . . . . What I see, is tha ANYONE on the Tarmac is expecting an Attacka ALSO from the Shores of the Island. . .!! It is a very, Very, VERY wise Anti-Ambush Mindset. . . Will write down something this Evening, after I will take in consideration that the Airport Characters are NOWADAY 3 and NOT 5; @loricus affirmed to be "M.I.A." and @Redwulfe seems to not to be able to join the Game as soon as We both hoped. . .!! Will have to re-check the "Threat Levels" of the Incoming Foes. . . Unfortunately is a coming Weekend that is very confused and chaotic for Me, for BOTH Professional and Personal issues, so I hope to do a good work for the Game at the best of My Skills. . . . .!!!
Yep, because at the moment is between a Blackjack Suit (technically the HEAVIEST of the "Superheavy Infantry Powered Armour" such as Azrails, Ahl-Fasseds, Taskmasters, Kriza-Boracs and the newest Nihonjin "Dayokai". . . . .not so sure about the Alien Sogarats !!) and a Gecko (cosnidered the Lightest of the Light T.A.G.s). . . The U.S.Ariadnan Suit of @loricus was to be considered even Heavier than a Guijia, but Your "Cybernetic Frame" is optimized for firing Oversized Artillery Guns (lacking the Speed, Nimbleness, Special Characteristics of normal Tactical Armoured Gears !!). . . The Dogwarrior of @Beodren could easily carry it, even at a good speed, but will be like a Strong Human carrying a heavy steel girder, possible but unwieldly; for firing it should behave as a normal sized Human firing a Barrett Antitank Rifle of the heaviest calibre (possible, but very risky unless on prone ideal firing position). . . Your "Cyberframe" instead is able to even "Clamp Down" on the floor with metal clawed pinions, to better absorb the Recoil of a similarly massive "Artillery Rifle". . . Remember that there are Heavy Weapons (Teseum Bullett Semi-Autocannons, H.M.G. "Twinned" or with very big calibres or Automatic Belt-Feed 40mm. Grenade Launcher) around You that are fixed on a "Pintle Mount" on n Hum Vee or Military Truck; these are far easier to fire without issues of Recoil and Extra Mass. . . If anyone need more explanations I will try to kitbash together even more precise stuff, but this Weekend is not very easy for Me for many Issues of Work, Family and "Other". . .
Am I right in assuming that we're still waiting for someone to post something? Cause I don't dare to describe my daring attack into "space" (orbit/air, whatever) before everyone else is ready :-P Also I'd maybe need to know the profiles of my weapons of you care for them. I'd much prefer missiles to grenade launchers btw. If I am allowed to have any other long range weapons let me know. Also It'd be nice to know if the drones are within melee range of sorts or not (this includes "daringly swinging along a thick cable through thin air at breathneck speed to get within range "melee range" ) ;-P
