The X-Com Files / Re: Real weapons overhaul discussion
« on: May 24, 2021, 05:27:39 pm »"redundant" weapons have some use too, not for core game play perspective but for overall game and feel.Sure, it makes sense to have AK-47 as a weapon for Bedouins and Russian gangsters, but what's the point of AKM then? It's the same thing.
Russian gangster could run with generic M16 rifle but it would better if they have AK47 even if was reskin of generic rifle.
As I understand X-com Files is narration heavy mod, and adding flavor weapons only enhance this.
FAMAS as a weapon for Dagon cultists doesn't make sense even as a flavor weapon (let alone as a meaningful alternative to M16). Why FAMAS?
Even if you tweak their stats relative to each other to be more realistic, it won't be an overhaul. The end result will be mostly the same.
