I hope this doesn't mean hunting down animals like you were a pest exterminator from earlier versions is now even more necessary to do.
Well, I'm not pretend for the role of ultimate player, but have some exp and skill. Look at the pictures.
Today is June of 1998.
The fist is my best soldier: full trained at gym, he has a lot of different commendations and the first bio-enhancement (ninja scrolls are still unavailable, because they was cutted from the mission with Lo Wo), he is with me from the beginning of the campaign - honored veteran. As you can see, the main trouble is with accuracy and reaction training. In 0.9.9 versions I'd have 10-15 full-trained soldiers with maxed accuracy and reactions by the same date, but here he is the only one. There are also several good soldiers, but they are a bit worse.
On the second picture is the other soldier with one silly commendation, with a couple missions behind and
full trained at gym. Looks promising, isn't it?
In 0.9.9 we can get full-gym-trained soldiers with average stats, but now... *Meh*
As you understand, grinding became even more important than it ever be. Fatigue makes grinding (and the whole missions) more dangerous, because you need to act more aggressive. Such tactics often leads to disastrous results - more stupid deaths from freaky grenades, for example.
I plan not to complete Red Dawn arc and Monsters arc - with hybrids these measures will supply enough of 'meat' for my troops, I hope.
