Hello to everyone! I am new to this board, so this is my first post. I could not find anything on the internet regarding this.

Here is it: After conquering Balime, Buns is unable to hit enemy soldiers. Even from close range, she misses them. If she EVER hits them (around 1 in 10 tries), it is only a light hit, without even indicating the amount of damage and leaving the enemy in the same state as before (sorry i do not know the english term for this)

Buns is not wound, she is not poisoned, she carries around 66% weight, you could say she is in perfect condition. Her marksmanship is now around 97, as i am in an advanced state of the game.
The only thing that comes to my mind is that she had been hit by a grenade during the attack, leaving her unconscious but only wounding her with -1. So i didn't mind reloading. But in her profile nothing has changed since that.

Does anyone of you have a clue or ever heard about this? The problem is I cannot reload as I have accidentally overwritten the file.

JA2 1.13 rocks,

Jens

She's not blinded, and she doesn't have stat damage?

Have you tried different weapons?

Are you using NCTH or OCTH?

Has she slept since the grenade wound?

Grenades drain all your Endurance/Stamina even if you don't get wounded - she may have had enough Stamina left to get up and walk around afterwards but her Marksmanship will be for poop until she's rested.

But as Lockie said, Random is Random...or as my Stats professor used to say, "the dice have no memory". It's entirely possible for her to have a string of misses that looks absurd but is really just bad luck.

Hello and thanks to everyone. Although I've occassinally played the game since the demo in 1999, I have never finished it due to a a lack of time, started from scratch over and over againg, and I seem to be a noob on most stuff.

What is NCTH or OCTH? Wink The Weapon is a HK G3A with which she has killed half of Arulco.

She has slept a lot since that actually. Just to check if it is a series of bad luck, I googled for a cheat to have endless action points (alt+d refreshes ap). As she even after more than a hundred tries does not hit, sheer bad luck seems really doubtful.

I'll check later again and post a screenshot of her character profile, probably there is something I do not know yet.

Thanks again for your support.

JA2 is such an addicting game, and i am overwhelmed that even after 13yrs there is such a great support by its community.

Jens

What is NCTH or OCTH? Wink
Basically, two different ways to calculate if you hit or not. Easily distinguishable: If your cursor looks 'normal', it's OCTH - If it looks like a MechWarrior game, it's NCTH.

It is just the usual red cursor. how could i change that? i guess i have seen that in a youtube video where the cursor looked kind of "futuristic", hard to explain.
