Long War Wiki Discussion (474 comments)
To Do List - planned upgrades and current tasks to improve and update the Wiki
- Blow enemy cover with HE grenades
- Use smoke grenades and flashbangs
- Hunker down instead of taking 30% shots
Cinematic Mode second wave option helps too

As far as I can tell, it works like this:
- Each soldier has 37 (42 if starting with Australia) "points"
- Baseline stats is 3 HP, 11 mobility, 58 aim, -5 defense and 16 will
- Points are distributed at random until all 37/42 of them are used, without going over any stat caps
- An extra HP costs three points, mobility four points, aim one point, defense one point and will one point
- Stats cap at 5 HP, 15 mobility, 72 aim, 5 defense and 44 will
- The +1 HP, +1 mobility, +3 aim or +5 will starting bonuses are added *after* this, which means they can go over the cap
I don't know how the special (Annette, etc... as well as MEC Troopers) soldiers work or what exact bonuses they get, this is just for standard soldiers.
It actually starts by assigning a random mobility, then checking how much higher or lower from average that mobility is and then assigning the next stat. Then it does the same for the next stat until it gets to the final stat. I'm not sure the exact order.
Special soldiers just have 'set' stats.
And not every special soldier has set stats, I've seen variations on the Furies sometimes.
The description of "Advanced Repair" under Foundry projects
(http://ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Foundry_%28Long_War%29#Aerospace_Improvements) is somewhat vague. It just says:
"Increases interceptor, SHIV, and item repair speed. "
Could you tell us exactly how much it increases the repair speed? Is it a flat percentage for all repairs?
Without this info it's pretty difficult to decide if, or when, I should get that perk. Please also consider updating the Wiki.
Thank you.
Also, Advanced Flight is similarly vague. It just says "increases flight time..." but it doesn't say by how much. So I don't know if these upgrades are worth it.
Anyone know this?
Advanced Flight?? For Hover Shivs & Archangel/Seraph armors... IIRC, the turns counter limit goes from 6 to 12. So - doubled. This is the same effect --also-- given by Fuel-Cell (which is mentionned in the Wiki articles about Equipment), btw.
EDIT: quick edit because i forgot to mention this.
for the armor system, you should make it so Medikit only heals the HP so the armors is a one off thing, making the repair system make sense in more than one way. this should make long wars that more meaningful, as soldier get hit and their armor got destroyed, the fear should set that the next shot could be fatal. one last suggestion is private weaponry. and what i mean by that is that private soldier should only be able to use pistols and only have 1 slot for extra gears.
As for sorting... they have some control over how the list is sorted, but can't provide options to toggle between them, unfortunately.
The current sorting goes by status (available/fatigued/wounded/etc), and then by XP. So even if you do as you said, and assign classes in order, it'll get messed up when some of your soldiers earn some XP.
As for your other suggestions, Long War is "complete". They'll keep an eye on it and implement fixes if needed, but no new features. Most of the features seem out of scope for a mod of a game that doesn't like to be modded. Hopefully, XCOM2 has the promised modding support to implement such ideas.
