RogueTech Combat[ | ]

CAC also handles a lot of the revamped combat system in RogueTech, having a base from AIM. Many vanilla bugs are fixed and new functions added.

WIP UI things mostly:[ | ]

  • Colored facing ring and floating armour bar. <---- Filthy british spelling
  • Damaged Structure under armor displayed as ???
  • Show heat, instability, distance, and movement numbers.
  • Show ammo count in paper doll hover.
  • Show base hit chance in accuracy modifier popup.
  • Show MechWarrior stats in hover/right-click hint.
  • Post-move to-hit penalties and heat factored in action preview.
  • (Optional) Show Mech Tonnage. <--- Which mech?
  • (Optional) Show Corrected Hit chance and Called Shot Chance. <---- correct vs wat?

Hit Chance Modifiers:[ | ]

RogueTech adds several factors that affect weapon accuracy for better or worse. The net modifier can be large and it's important to understand the factors.

No roll fudging, no hidden modifiers, straight RNG

  • Line of fire fixed and stylized: Red = Frontal, Dotted = Indirect, Cyan = Flank, Green = Rear.
  • Obstructed fire does 10% less damage and has a -2 Accuracy penalty applied
  • Flank and rear attack Bonus. Accuracy +1 Flanking and +2 Rear
  • Attacking downhill has a positive To-Hit modifier; Attacking uphill has a negative To-Hit modifier; +/- 1 per 50 meters of elevation.
  • Weapons have optimum ranges, accuracy is -2 at Medium range, -4 at Long range and -8 at Extreme range.
  • Weapons with a minimum range have -8 accuracy if fired from too close.

Detection and Electronic Warfare

RT has a deep an nuanced sensor explained LINK GOES HERE. For the purposes of this article

No Sensors -7

No Sight -5

Neither/"Firing Blind": -13

Something about hit generator types, single vs cluster vs streak.

CRITS[ | ]

Some stuff about RT crit mechanics goes here

TAC mechanics,

Crit chance scales up with structure damage

multi-crits per hit,

crit transfer

vehicle and turret crits enabled; same chances for all teams


Misc should be covered somewhere:[ | ]

ammo ejecting

melee positioning

AIM Legacy[ | ]

ā€œ CAC uses [AIM]'s hollowed out skull as mug, that's about it. Oh to be sure, the AIM skull goblet is well polished, inlaid with gold and has gemstones set in the eyes. ā€ž
