So I just equip everyone with the machine guns, load them up with pilot damage skills to kill everyone in 3 attacks or so and then cannibalize their wanzers for my own needs, right?
They never said the game was balanced.
>>734273479No. Missiles.
>Front Mission>balanced*Laughs in FIRST, AIM, DUEL, and several other retardedly broken skills that enable OTKs of any unit with minimal effort*
>>734273479I do shotgun a shield MC with 1 missledual gun Ryogo1 melee (it's not shit in 3!)rest missiles with BEEG backpack
& from memory fists to kick out pilots.
>>734273479No, you use the parts that give you the best skills and save them for everyone to train with. Hardest and most annoying skill for me was chaff.
>>734273479Pilot dmg1 is great but it combos into itself and sometimes might blow up the wanzers prematurely.I'd say get skills that eject the pilot. That way the enemy loses a turn and then just hijack their wanzer or kill the pilot outright with combos.
>>734274581There's only one skill that ejects pilots, it's melee and it doesn't chain. Meanwhile pilot damage 1 works with any weapon and will always deal 7 damage to the pilot if you use a piercing weapon, even if only one bullet connects, and it chains well. So somebody getting 3 attacks in a row to kill a pilot in one turn isn't even rare. Of course, there's a risk of destroying a wanzer outright, I don't know yet which skills work better in practice.
>>734273479FM3 is a horrendous mess of a game. This game was designed and balanced by a pack of chimps.But anyway, a good reason to diversify your weapons is that each pilot has an innate bonus to their preferred weapon type (this is usually the one they start the game with). Also, once Eject Punch becomes available, Pilot DMG skills basically become obsolete since Eject Punch is simply that broken. Ideally, you will want 2 melee units with 6x Eject Punch and and 2 machine gun units with 6x ROFUP1 (or Zoom1, which can be functionally identical as long as your odds to hit are low enough that the the skill doesn't boost them over 100%. Once you unlock better accuracy upgrades then ROFUP1 becomes objectively better). Make your 2 melee niggas eject pilots and then make your 2 machine gun niggas pick off the pilots when they're ejected. It's that simple. If you get good RNG then you can steal 2 wanzers in one turn.
i remember spamming rofup1why pilot damage 1?
Just do what you want to do instead of wasting your time and enjoyment trying to autistically minmax
>>734275554>wasting your time and enjoyment trying to autistically minmaxIf you don't enjoy autistic micromanagement then play something other than Front Mission
>>734274221FM1? The skill system there sucked.I don't recall 3 being that bad for leveling.
>>734275763FM3's ability training system was pure cancerous dogshit. FM1 is a braindead nothing-game that plays itself, and yet it still wasn't as aggressively retarded in its design as FM3. Some of FM3's skills are such that you will statistically never get the required battle conditions to even make the skill learnable at all, let alone succeed the diceroll and actually learn the skill, let alone get those same conditions again, let alone succeed another diceroll to actually activate the skill.There are genuinely wanzer parts in FM3 whose skills you will almost certainly not be able to learn. Skills that are functionally unlearnable and functionally useless even if you do somehow learn them. And which parts have these skills? Well, good luck consulting a guide, kiddo.
>>734273978Melee has never been bad in this series.
>>734275701you don't enjoy autistic micromanagement either retardkunyou just do it compulsively at the expense of enjoyment
>>734277431melee is dogshit in 2
>>734275414Non-combo reliant skills like Eject Punch are better because Activate% Up, Combo% Down computers are a direct upgrade with zero drawbacks. Meanwhile Activate% Down, Combo% Up computers are pure shit past maybe the first few.
>>734277582Alright I've never played that one but 99% of the time when people complain about melee they're retards that think melee sucks in 1 when it's actually OP.
>>734277841play 2(melee isn't bad at all, just play it)
>>734277582>0 AP cost>no ammo required>lowest weight>>>>badare you a fucking retard? melee is ridiculously overpowered in 2
>>734277924Fan translation was never finished (and likely made up nonsense) and I'm not touching the remake with a ten foot pole.
>>734273978Melee is by far the best in 4. uses 1 action point intead of 3 or 4. Each person attacking can trigger other people to attack so you want all those points. And it hits 1 part so it will actually destroy things instead of spreading damage out that does nothing.
I thought people were joking with the FM3 remake aislop assets.Jesus chirst it is bad.
>>734275440ROFUP1 is fucking hilarious when you stack it. I remember playing it way back when it came out and setting the siscon MC up as a Shotgun/MG combo user. That was pretty solid. Ryogo, for some reason, had a terrible time learning skills, and all I had were some ROFUP1 skills and maybe like 1 or 2 others. I decided to throw all of the ROFUPs on, thinking, "maybe it'll just activate more often, seems like it'd be alright."Motherfucker walks up to an enemy next mission and proceeds to chain 4 of those skills, utterly destroying that poor enemy. I immediately swapped the MC over to a similar setup afterwards.
>>734273839Based, Salvo is the most fun skill in FM3.
