if this bug is possible to avoid, then im supporting this idea

Not sure if the solution is feasible in FOnline, but you could make the game spawn an invisible critter that doesn't block LOS/cause - for chance to hit under the mouse cursor once you press ctrl and move it around with the cursor - that way the feature would follow standard LOS rules. Or make it happen on ctrl+click with 1 second timeout (and have a script to remove it real quick) so to fire you need to ctrl + doubleclick. That's mostly the way suppressive fire and artillery used to be done in, say, Operation Flashpoint.

So you don't need any skill at Big Guns? You can simply shoot 1 hex before target with Rocketlauncher to hit ground, ignoring target's AC? So, 1st level noob with any skills tagged with 20% Big Guns can kill everyone with his Rocketlauncher by targeting hex near victim.

This "indirect fire critter" should have higher AC than your average player (I'd say something around 50) - it's harder to hit a spot on the ground at a distance than to hit something "protruding" from it, like a human or a wall  8)

DrapiChrust:
Suppressive fire, yeah... I agree that this game in which most people sooner or later focus on 'killing each other' should have a little bit more tactics than now.

But I suppose we have a little problem with this... I'm not sure if the game distincts the partial obstacles (like trees or small rock piles) from 'full obstacles' like walls. Possibly allowing to throw a granade over the pile would be equal to throw a grenade 'over' the wall (nevermind if there is a roof/window or not).

gordulan:
well, there are a LOT of holes in the roofs of houses normally.
