Is the snitch info thing just a morale thing or also affect (re)hiring?

1) Father Walker doesn't show up.

2) In both tries (regular and the Father-Walker-Search-Cheat) Bobby Ray's wasn't unlocked.

Where do I find Manuel? He isn't anywhere around Drassen it seems.

Right off the bat with 1.09. Opening battle in Omerta begins before any mercs have landed, resulting the helicopter sound never ending, us never dropping from it, and the battle autoresolving. This makes A9 inaccessible, as you have no control, as though you were exiting the helicopter, but this never ends.

On second thought, IIRC this has always been something that happens sometimes. Leaving the bug report as is.

Well, found a legitimate bug. Right after the first battle, picked up a Winchester Model 1915 Service Rifle. Tried to attach a rifle sling, disappeared, tried again, also gone. The gun is eating the slings.

Ed, just a query before I install the new version.

I always loved that young machinegunner in H13 Alma, now he's nowhere to be found. Is he like Father Walker, appearing on and off?

Also, one sector south (I-13), I found an enemy sitting in a locked room. Sector was freed, than counter-attacked with my guys sitting in the corridor. How could this have happened? not sure

Ruiz, the machinegunner in Alma, should be there all the way back in the barracks area around the corner. Of course, during a battle the characters run around a bit, but he should be there.

re: I13, yeah that is strange. Might the enemy have been one of the civilians working at the base that turned hostile?

With regards to moving items I know little of coding but could it be some sector specific issue?

I wiped out Kingpin's cronies in his home sector, but when I've gone back to the sector there's no guys to kill. Not that I'm complaining as they have good loot on them, but am not sure if that's intentional.

I also notice the rebel/milita guys in the starting Omerta sector also respawned when I revisited that sector too.

Father Walker is missing in Drassen . it is bug ? or in 1.09v he is in another place?

My radio was turned on, but somehow the enemy call reinforcements from the farms. the problem is that - reinforcements were not visible, till one moment, when i switch on strategic map and come back . the enemy was very close to my mercs. like they was in sector from the begging.

He has a 50% chance of appearing in one or the other sector, as usual. However, he is still being recalcitrant so I may make it a higher percentage in the first update for v1.09 (I think i have fixed the problem with tony not giving money for goods -- testing it now).

so we can say goodbye to the Miguel , Carlos , and Dimitry )

Love the idea of building sandbag fortifications...

however one too many times my prone mercs, taking cover behind sandbag wall, get swiss cheesed to death with one burst by a spray and pray attacker as if the sandbags were made of rice paper. Not sure if this is a "feature" or bug, but it seems to defeat the purpose of using sand bags at all if the enemy can shoot clear through them.

Edit-
I'm playing Arulco Vacations build 7609 AIr512 build and
I just found this thread- http://thepit.ja-galaxy-forum.com/index.php?t=msg&th=23514&goto=351106&#msg_351106

My mercs are in Estoni just outside Jake's House and interrupting, shooting enemies that come into the fenced-in junkyard. The problem is that enemies outside the fence are shooting my mercs through the fence almost every round. The enemies are even shooting them through the walls of Jake's house when my mercs hide inside with the door closed! (My mercs can't see the enemies outside the fencing that are shooting them almost every round.) The enemies are even shooting my mercs through 2-3 walls--the outside wall to Jake's house and the inside bathroom wall! It's amazing!

7609 w/ja2_7609en+AI_r513.exe

1. Please try r520, it should fix the shooting through walls problem.
2. Please post Ja2+AI related bugs/reports in this thread to avoid mixing them with official version.

wondering if this may be related to a borked build AIr513?

M1 garand has the sling eating and bipod eating hunger -when trying to attach those items, they simply disappear.

Also the flashbang pouch does not attach to molle as may have been noted prior.

Seem to be getting attacked in every sector at a pretty high frequency, playing on experienced. Ratio of fights can be as high as 8 to 16ish enemies vs my 4-8 mercs, enemy accuracy seems overly high, their ability to hide or dis-appear into camo stealth is unusually quirky (now you see em, now you don't). Getting shot through sandbags (rice paper like thin) by spray and pray accurate enemy, gang banged by overwhelming #'s of enemy that seem to be on crack with high action points... Makes me wonder how much I have to adjust my play or just start cheating to compensate for enemy imbalance?

A couple issues here. Sandbags and walls and roofs are frustratingly porous even though I have increased their solidness from vanilla and 1.13. I hesitate to increase it further because it will make it even harder to see the enemies -- which is another issue you mention. The ability to hide is a double-edged sword -- you can do it to them also. I frequently have enemies running up to point-blank range because they can't see me.

Enemies that seem to have a lot of APs . . . I think it is more a case that the enemy is not burdened by a lot of equipment, as is usually the case with my Mercs. I don't know if that is the same with you. I have taken to lightening my loadouts considerably, and that seems to help. The AI has no advantage over your Mercs via any tweaked XML. However, all enemies have skill traits, and if they have Athletics as a skill they will be able to move quite far (as can your Mercs with that skill).

Numbers of enemies -- there are more enemy patrols with more soldiers in each patrol than in vanilla or 1.13. That is intentional to balance the fact that I made retreating much less of a morale loss, and even made it possible to retreat with a morale bonus if you do heavy damage or kill a few enemies. In many aspects of AV things are more difficult in one way and easier in another way.
