Attitude question.
Tue, 12 October 2004 18:12
I am new to the game and was wondering if Optimist attitude helps when training milita? I have tried to get this several times but always end up with Normal 
Can someone tell me if it does or does not help so I can stop wasting my time.

Tactical advantage of squad sizes
Thu, 07 October 2004 20:10
In your opinion, could having a squad of just two people be better than having a squad of six?
The way that I play the game, I usually have just two people fighting all of the enemies and providing cover fire for one another.
The four other members of my team just sit in a quiet spot until the fighting is over.
I can't begin to imagine how much money and time I've wasted hiring and equiping mercinaries that I never even use.
Lately, I've had a brilliant idea, why not just use two people? That way, I could go though the game much faster. Its a lot faster and easier to move two people though a sector than for six. The four unused people just get in the way, get shot.
It also makes the fights feel a lot more "personal".
Here are a few of my favorite groups
Meltdown\Stephan
Razor\Haywire
Ivan\Igor
Dr. Q\Shadow
Soo... What do you think?
Its much more fun, in my opinion, to have two, instead of just one.

Instant kills with throw knives
Thu, 24 June 2004 15:49
I have always believed that you could only get instant kills if the enemy is not aware of your presence in the sector but I have just had two examples where the enemy has seen my merc and the merc has then done the one knife kill.
In both cases the ememy must have died before alerting any others as at the end of the turn the game reverted to real time. New things after all those hours playing. You have to love it.

G11 or mikes gun
Mon, 21 June 2004 23:09
Though probably already discussed many times.
Mikes gun seems weird. The damage it does is more then you would think if you see its stats. It can match the fal and m14 for some odd reason. Next to that, is mikes gun surpressed(silenced)? If used kills, hardly any (if any at all) enemies come to investigate. Whereas when you use the fnfal in the same situation at least 5 show up. Or is it just a coincidence?

Best Gun ingame.Oppinions please :)
Tue, 13 January 2004 20:24
Well 1st off all i just noticed this forum. im a very addicted dutch JA Fan/Gamer.
well now
my oppinion: FN-Fall for life.
reason : great range (42)
Damage (32)
and offcourse the low AP needed points 2 fire a shot...
btw i played ja2 mayB 10 times over and over till the end but! i never seem 2 find that fnp90,but just 2 look @ those settings i dont think its better than my precious FN-Fall.
anyway did you dudes did the r&s + barrel extender on the H&K21? the settings of that gun are D(32) R(50) only you need 7 minimum 2 shoot a single bullet wich is better with the FN-Fall(5)
another thing can you steal the jelly from the bug queen when she's still alive??[/offtopic]
--> gameversion 1.02 dutch.(plays superB)

armor deteriation and HP ammo
Thu, 25 September 2003 11:03
I have read the forum post the last couple of days and I've noticed something. Most people agree that high damage can only be dealt by knives (especially by throwing) or by burst. Another point of agreemant is ammo type: everybody uses AP.
But I also read that multiple hits would lower the armor rating of an enemy, so that subsequent shots would do more damage. So I wondered, could armor be lowered a great deal by AP ammo? Wouldn't that open the possibilty of using higher damage HP shots?
In summary, I have three questions:
1) Do hits in fact lower armor ratings?
2) If so, how much does armor detoriate with each hits
2) how much damage does AP ammo and HP ammo?
I couldn't find anything about this in Patusco's excellent guide, so I hope someone on this forum does know the answers...

How it all began.
Wed, 03 January 2007 01:11
Ok I'm sitting here ready to to give Ja2 another go (probably with the 1.13 patch). And I was starting to think about this game, what is it? Sure it's a great game that I have played for several hundred hours, more than perhaps any other game.
But then I realized it was something more, so here is MY story:
It began a day in December the year of 1999, at the time I was 14 years old... No wait a minute it surely didn't start there!
Join me 3 years back in time from 1999, that is 1996, I was at the time 11 years old, I have had a computer for about a year and the exact date was the 27th of December, Christmas was over and I joined my parents for a bit of shopping in a nearby town, there, in the game room (computer games to the general public were not that old, and was kept in a special room at the time, wonder why?) I saw this nice looking box with the name Jagged Alliance: Deadly games written all over it.
I asked my father if we could get it and he said "sure" even though I had already gotten my Christmas presents. This was the first stop so I carried this box for a few more hours as my parents went about their business, every time we stopped I pulled out the box and read the descriptions, I can't say that I was good at English at that time, but I managed to understand bits and pieces of it.
Time to go home, and I had a few hours to install and play my newly acquired game before it was time to go to my sister's place to celebrate her birthday.
So I installed the game, no problems, and started it, I watched the intro movie, the one with the running guy that jumps over fences.
After that I started a new game and I guess I was overwhelmed but I managed to get together a team of mercs to fulfill my first mission, on a funny sidenote: in one of the first missions the objective was something like "recover the object and get it to the extraction point", in my excitement I thought "it" was referring to the merc It, and restarted to be able to get him with me.
Dang, time to go to my sister's place, sure it was fun, and even better, my brother decided to stay another night there, so I could play some more.
In about a month I was an expert (or so I thought), I could battle it out with the enemies without losing a single merc, so I began searching the almighty internet for something about this, I found a place called "Lock and Load" that had alot of tips about DG as well as a great looking site.
I printed these tips and read it time after time, trying to come up with my own, and I managed to develop a few tactics that worked.
Somehow I found a few different campaigns some good, some pretty boring and a few outstanding!
Among these outstanding was a campaign with a unusual beginning, you began your game with one person (you) and a machete, as the missions went by you recruited friends and started to battle towards the end.
Another one was a Vietnam war themed campaign, I loved that one.
There was one that required you to cut through a forest.
Along the way, I discovered several secrets, among other things the tab called "gear", somehow I had played the game without it for over a week until my brother found it.
Another thing was the ability to shoot the locks open, discovered in an intense firefight where a shot went past the enemy and hit a door, door "unlocked"
Oh and I also loved the small picture-in-picture movies that played when certain things happened.
During the time I began to create my own missions and campaigns, this was an aspect I really loved, and one mission, codenamed "hotel hell", was absolutely great if I may say so myself.
Ok fast forward to around 1999 I still played DG and stumbled upon JA2 somewhere on the internet, to bad I couldn't play it on my computer, well I still had DG.
Once again:
It began a day in December the year of 1999, at the time I was 14 years old, my father has said that it was time for a new computer and he would pick me up after school this Friday, said and done we went to the store and go ourself a brand new computer (500 mhz processor) and I was as happy as a clam.
But that was nothing compared to what happened after that, while my father and the salesman cleared up the formalities I checked out the games and guess what I found hidden behind another game?
Yep you guessed it, the last copy of Jagged Alliance 2!!!
So I asked my father and once again I he said yes.
Going home and setting up the computer and installing the game I was really happy.
So I started a game, with my two year younger brother at my side, he too had taken a liking to Deadly Games.
With our combined skill in DG we managed to clear out Omerta and Drassen, we somehow found Hamous and his icecream truck and we got our butts handed to us by the Hicks.
Time to go to bed, Mom said, I had a thing with the school the day after, a garage sale to finance our trip to Spain.
Me and my brother played the game all the time and I started to check out the internet once again and found this site (actually I think I found it before I got the game not sure though, I don't think I checked out the forum until after I got it.).
I registered and started reading advice and the war stories, shared some myself and had a general good time here as member #125.
Then the mods for Ja2 began popping up, and the rest is history, here we are in a community that is as living as it were those years back.
At the start I could barely kill the yellowshirts, when I was at my peak performance I could take over Arulco with only my IMP, no locals, no mining, no merc hiring, started out by throwing EVERYTHING including money into the trash can and embark on the adventure.
Ok so what am I saying by this way too long post? You ask.
Well I guess I was saying that I really love those games and the community and the memories of it leads back to a time where everything was much easier, still when I think about how I'm about to start a new journey on this big adventure I get really excited.
Thanks to all who have made this game into what it is and still continue to contribute, from the most hardcode modder to the beginner that think they have nothing to add by there question, when in reality it gets us "oldies" to think about things we have taken for granted for so many years.
