[All played with AFS 3.3]

Additional Feedback (Big wall of text alert). Now in mid AR-era, got my first "real" sniper gun.

x Long Arm FSS

Tried it once (on a Bison SMG) and on the mini AK-74 (aks-74 u). To be honest i don't think it's so useful ingame. It's so inaccurate (once folded) that the weapon is not useful at a range of over 3-4 tiles (being generous). At this range i'd rather use my sidearm : AP costs are much lower, moreover AP's are needed to fold the SMG, but unnecessary to equip my sidearm. So the only reason to use it would be to run out of ammo of the sidearm... Not that common...
Overall, my intuition is that the implementation is fine as is, but thwarted because of game mechanics (no AP to equip handgun). I can't imagine a simple solution to this.

x Attachments
I love the attachment system from UC, but a couple of details are infuriating. Mostly revolves around attachments that you can buy, but can't find any weapon to attach them.

- Some attachments arrive in shops very early, and you have to wait too long before using them. Suggestion : make them appear later.
APP (laser sight available from beginning, took me 3 weeks to find a compatible HK weapon)
SUSAT / Clamp on Mag 4x (available very early, pretty long to find a weapon)
M3 IR Night sighting device (still looking for a weapon. Really a shame, because i can already find weapons for the Thales NV - a much better scope)

- Then there are all these "Advanced Reflex Sight" compatible attachments, that i've been collecting (Magnifying 2x, 4x, NV). I guess i have to attach them on an other component, which I've never been able to find.

Note : I'm only talking about attachments available for sales at Bobby's / Tony's.


x Weapons & Items

Chang Feng SMG :
- The gap in performance between the Chang Feng (Almost as good as an AR. Similar to a Steyr AUG Para / Colt SMG in feeling) and what you have before (crappy SMG's) is just too big. I guess it just appears too soon. Maybe increase its coolness level by one ?

- I was surprised that Steel & titanium plates have identical characteristics (except weight, 1.5 vs 2 kg). Save 0.5 kg ?? Yawn... It makes titanium plates quite a disappointing item.

- Minor but annoying : 7.62x25 smg : same pic for AP and Ball ammo

x Shotguns
- I've tried to use them after reading you did some changes (in the effect of aim clicks if I'm not mistaken). Overall, it's better, but still not good enough. My IMP is a ranger, it tried to use a shotgun in a night op, reasoning that short ranges should help the weapon (a Saiga, no attachements). He DID manage to kill an enemy and wound another, but overall, shooting cost is too high, and damage too unreliable. Most of the time could fire only one round / turn. I identify 2 major problems with shotguns
a. High, but unreliable damage : Ok, damage says 40-45 in the UDB. But quite often you'll do 10-15 only, and as it's not easy to fire more than one shell, if you do only 10-15 dmg and your ennemy has any type of automatic weapon, you're dead meat (because shotgun engagement ranges are so short)
b. AP to ready cost is too high, which prevents you from moving, making your MERC either a sitting duck or a guy that cant shoot

- Moreover, this change in aim clicks has some side effects on the HK Caws (accurate + scope 1.5x). At night, with Maddog (no NVG), i was able to have a good chance of headshot (very green cursor) on ennemies appearing into range. Now i haven't tested more (no more ammo...), but it seems a tad too powerful.

Suggestion : Make this aim click change a bit less strong, reduce (20 - 25% ?) the AP to ready cost

x Ammo timing
Some ammo types are not available early enough for purchase. I know it's part of the game, but somehow i felt it was more pronounced here. I'm especially thinking of "Skills" weapons (those weapons we get for free as a result of skill choice). I got a winchester .44 mag, which is a pretty cool weapon - but far from outstanding. By the time i could buy .44 mag rounds, the weapon was totally obsolete. And well, it's not as if .44 mag weapons were super powerful : they're fund they're cool, but that's about it.

[One or two other ammo type were this way, but failed to note them down]
