when kneeling and moving unit should return back to kneeling

[kikimoristan]

just a simple suggestion.

kneel

move

unit moves and then goes back to kneeling unless no TU left to kneel again.

good or bad idea?

[volutar]

Bad.
Seriously? Just because you can get tired of kneeling after move? What if you don't need that "finalization kneel" in this particular case?
That only obfuscate everything. And not worth it.

[kikimoristan]

okay

In some different game concept (as jagged aliance) it's just duck movement without unkneeling. And it's OK in them. But if it gonna be implemented in xcom (and it is possible), I'm not sure people would perceive this game as xcom anymore.

Are you using keyboard shortcuts? I could see it getting a bit tedious clicking kneel every time, but just hitting K isn't so bad.

hah i didn't know about k. that's not so bad

Kneeling is 4 TUs. Standing up is 8 TUs. For these 12 TUs, I'm likely to find a much better cover instead of just hugging the ground ineffectively. And while the accuracy bonus is nice, going 3 tiles towards the enemy will improve this too.

Sure, there are cases where kneeling is beneficial, mostly when sniping or when behind a low cover. But using it as a default manoeuvre each turn is more trouble than gain.
