Shit, fucked up the music links, sorry about that, I didn't have time to replace or check things and the OP was already too long.

Now that's just straight up cheating.

Let's hope local resistance groups have those AA sites set up
>>145987317
That's xcom, baby!
XCOM2 has proved that airgame can be killed
>This stadium
Super comfy
>>145987689
But all xcom 2 did was get rid of the unfun, non-interactive element on the strategic view, Anon.
Not even Long War could fix that hot mess.
>>145988372
This, air game was dead in EU/EW
>>145987214
SNEK SNEK SNEK SNEK!
Snek confirmed for best
Wow, I can't fucking wait for sneks to win. AGAIN. Jesus Christ those sneaky fucks think they're so fucking tough by picking on unprepared rookies, what a load of shit. What's the point of having a cup if we know what the result will be anyways Fucking sneks ruining the cup, they should be out
Will snektits get four goals again this game?
>>145988747
Sneks confirmed for natural enemy of plane.
Holy shit, is it actually happening?
>>145987689
>>145988372
It would still be nice to have some sort of indepth minigame with fleshed our systems associated.
>scrolling background that simulates high speed flight
>3D renders of all flight craft
>can activate different abilities and have some sort of rock, paper, scissors approach
>turn based just like normal combat
>pilots can level up and get perks and nicknames etc.
It can work.
>>145988707
Gotta have hot steamy snektits somehow, Anon. Rookies just know what's up.
>>145988831
The planes just can't resist Snek wiles.
>>145988973
So far
>>145989005
What mods are you using for the hair, scars and suits?

SNEEEEEEK
Snek a best

Air game status: reset
>tfw beating /aceg/ at their own airgame
I feel sorry for /aceg/. They're just not as technologically advanced as us late game. If they faced us early on in the League they might have actually stood a chance.
Now we just g into overwatch and we got this.

>>145989359
>best thighs has ugliest face
Unless you want sameface, someone has to use that face.
>cutest has stupid armour
Which are you referring to?
>best girl has non-formfitting suit
Would that be Flipper.
I'm not 100% on any outfit except Orca and Bottlenose.
The reason I'm posting is to get feedback, I'm waiting for Shen's Last DLC and more gameplay mods before I do a hardcore RP story playthrough and the Dolphins will be a key squad in case I can keep the alive long enough.
>>145990193
Just like a real campaign, we chugged along early-league as rookies but now in late-league we are honed Ayy killers.
>>145989005
>that face thing on flipper
It literally triggers me due to how uncomfortable it looks
>>145990418
Dusky has best face and hair but non formfitting
Flipper is cutest but the motorcycle suit looks kind of ridiculous and the folded helmet thing on her face is dumb
Shames theres no new face mods
/aceg/ here! Congrats on the win! We'll be back with AC7 and fresh memes at out back next year!the game's over, right?

I-it's part of her b-backstory. But I guess it does look off. There's a lack of skintight variety, but I guess I can use color to vary it up a bit, I'm going to go in game and see if I can fix it up a bit.
IT'S ANOTHER SNEK TRICK EVERYONE

That was just brutal.

Excellent work Delta, we proved once and for all that airgame is ded
>>145990597
Are you shaking now?
Bloody good match, Hopefully we can slay whoever weeb team wins this in our next match and then go onto the final.
Are there any mods that change the sword attack to RULES OF NATURE?
Flawless mission guys.
We have a hard road ahead. We need to keep this form and not get ahead of ourselfs
>>145992048
Good work Commander.
>>145992027
No, but there are some nice kaytans
Pistols are Useful.
>>145992027
There is the ayylmao textmod, but it changes the Bladestorm message to RULES OF NATURE
But combined with katana mod, is breddy good.

Ok, how is this for Flipper?
Also I finally found out how to take close ups with attitude enabled.
>>145997330
Better, I'm not a massive fan of the new helmet though and the armours a bit shiny.
>>145997330
Are you using reshade?
>>145997330
>Also I finally found out how to take close ups with attitude enabled.
how?
>>145997843
I'm open to suggestions.
>>145997886
Yes.
>>145997956
Changing Eye or Hair color does not zoom out the camera and puts the soldier in their default animation state.
Anyone else having a problem with the latest OpenXCom nightly build crashing every time there's a base assault? This is fucking stupid, I don't want to abandon my campaign after I've progressed so much for the first time
Dusky has to pretty much stay as she is, because you can't have a cape with anything except Advent chestpieces and this is the closest I can get to skintight.
>>145999850
Thats a shame.
Ere we go boys, time to beat some weebs
DAMN WEEBS!
Good luck, Commander.
I haven't played since like 2 months after launch.
What are the good mods?

Looks like we're losing versus weeb shit, that's disheartening. Guess I'll stay up till this ends and then go to bed. Thanks for your feedback on the Dolphins anons, I have more themed squads that aren't all female as well, so if no one minds maybe I can post those in the next days.
>>146001058
A Better Advent, Better Pods Plus, Improved AI, 30 Ability Icons, Grimy's loot mod, Overwatch All, Evac All, Human Creativity, Improved Flashbangs, Increased Mission Variants, Inappropriate Operation Names, Ayylmao 2 /xcg/ boogaloo, It's Raining Mecha, Leader pack, Marathon Mode, Mod Config Menu, Potentials, Squad Cohension, Squad Notoriety, Fatigue, Shens Legacy (mod, not dlc), True Concealment (your mileage may vary)...
that doesn't include class mods, quality of life mods, or other things I use, but it's a good start, Anon.
>>146001895
Somebody really dislikes Snek. Why do you hate such a q.t, Anon?
Now the game is afoot
>>146001909
You could always make more all female squads
>>146002115
Why not just point at the OP?

>>146004113
Get hype!
Delta, your efforts continue to bolster the resistance across the globe. Good job, Commander.
Final Mod Pack or UFO Redux for OpenXcom?
Am I a shitter for removing the timer?
It's not comfy playing with a ticking clock. I like to play the game like chess and tab out once in awhile.
It's almost time for the final mission. At the beginning we where outnumber and outgunned. We lost some good men along the line. We never looked down, we went forward with all our might and it payed off. Our veterans managed to pull the rookies trought. Now for the last time we will give everthing we have.
WE ARE XCOM. VIGILO CONFIDO
>>146004642
Yes you are.
>>146004642
Why not just git gud, Anon? The timer doesn't make things any more stressful than you want it to be.
>>146004642
It's a turn timer, not a literal time limit to end your turn

It's the match right after the one currently happening.

Second place is a bitter pill to follow when we've played MUCH better in previous games but totally fucking suck in the final, most important, game.

Jesus christ, 180 damage to put those faggots down, on top of popping the drones. And even with ghost grenades, supression, shredder blaster launchers and smoke, I still had a major level sniper shot out of the sky and killed. Lost one, had every single other member of that squad in the hospital for most of the rest of the month.
Fuck sectopods, man.

Yes yes, well done /xcg/
HOWEVER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvyOu-0EK7U
WE TRIED SO HARD
This is all sneks fault, Delta did the best he could with a sneaky duplicitous snek.
>>146013583
Other than things like hair, facepaints, scars and tattoos there are no waifu making mods. Can't edit faces, there's only one body replacer mod and it's floating around somewhere in lover's lab.
>>146013728
But all these faces are 3/10's even by real life standards.
>>146013668
BUT IN THE EEEEEEEND
IT DOESN'T EVEN MAAAAAATEEEEEER
desu we could have drawn that.
One goal was pure refball and one goal was PURELY the fault of FUCKING EXALT, he was too exhausted and the ball got stolen.
I'm sure Delta knows what he is doing but FUCKING EXALT should have been subbed A LOT earlier.
it was a good run Delta, can't be too mad with a silver medal
>>146013834
A misconceived plan... a series of simple misunderstandings... met with an... overzealous response.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vly2tl8u1w&index=23&list=PLc5Ywe-KmiGMa_ChG42NyRw7kS_pmKmtK
Great work, Commander Delta, it was an amazing run and I'm glad we all could've been here to witness it all.
Silver medal isn't bad, let's hope for gold on the next league, eh?
>SIZE VERY LARGE
Im scared
So all in all we could consider this a "successful" mission in which seven out of eight of your best squad members are gravely wounded/dead and your campaign is irrevocably fucked because of the fatigue/wound spiral?
>>146014279
Go get em, show em' who's boss! There's only one entrance, so camp a bit before assaulting the interior. Just don't take too long. Past turn 20, the aliens are told where all your units are and go hyper aggressive. Any cluster of friendlies will be naded.
We managed to evac right on time
I'm sorry guys. I knew Exalt would be gassed early but not this early. I tried a couple of sliders to look for good holes in their defense but it was to late.
This whole league was a rollercoaster for me. I want to thank you guys for the support you have given me after the loses. Without it would have lost my spirit early.
>>146014279
I just did one myself, they're not that bad. I only lost the odd rookie I brought along with my team of elite A team operators.
>>146014474
>Past turn 20, the aliens are told where all your units are and go hyper aggressive. Any cluster of friendlies will be naded.
Are you fucking serious?
>>146014656
Yes he is serious about round 20 rule.
>>146014610I'm still proud of you guise
>>146014656
>Are you fucking serious?
For og-xcom yes. Just test it yourself. Go into a skirmish and wait till turn 20 and observe how the AI acts.
>>146014610
God Bless Delta, even the best commanders drop campaigns. I want to thank you for so much fun that wouldn't have been possible without your hard work
>>146014610
You did us proud, Commander. It's been an honor.
>>146014610
>>146014404

Snek
>>146015723
I'm torn between Beaglerush an SnekTits, SnekTits was kind of the MVP though, at least I think.
Actually they have same number of goals scored, I'm still torn.
>>146015857
So just position them around the purple thing?
>>146016572
Only if you're ready for losses, send scout and try to camp 2 corridors since the ship is split into 4 sections.
Rest depends on your luck.
>>146013437
battleship, not scout.
It's all indoors. And you need all your bonus to kill three sectopods that activate at once.
>>146016885
Do you have a mec in your squad?
>>146017434
two maxed rank ones. Support and heavy. No emp launcher though. I had a lot of fun with mines up untill "i've got 30 hp, can shoot twice and never move" faggots started showing up.
>>146017583
Yeah, I never leave home without EMP, its just too much utility. Disabling shot is a plus as well with double tap.
>>146016572
So to get up here i have to go all around but i can still shoot through the floor?Already killed like 3 up there but more keep going in there
>>146017826
Lost 4 rookiesto a failed rocket,attack dogs helped alot
>>146018135
Attack dogs are excellent, especially for UFO interiors. Just avoid abusing them to hard, eventually you will need competent troops, but using them early to avoid casualties is a good idea.
>miss the finals
>2nd place
It was a hell of a ride Delta. You did good.If only we hadn't rushed gauss maybe just maybe...
