The Blue Sun Mod

[IceShade]

I'd like to mention that, goodness gracious, Jagged Alliance: Back in Action feels like a ripped console port of JA2. It's like.. JA2 lite. And this is not positive.

Play 7.62 with BSM instead. It is much better.

@IceShade: Yeah, 7.62 with BSM is much better than the new Jagged Alliance.

I hope the next release off BSM will come soon

Looks like bitComposer will be bringing back old features, so that is promising. Not to mention R@S is on the ball with his Blue Dawn mod, so the future for BiA is pretty bright.

It is, after all, a Western release and not made by a defunct Russian company like Apeiron. I have hope.

Meanwhile, I'll play some 1.9.

Little minor nitpicking list, hopefully in time before 2.0?:


- The M93R has a full auto mode, which it shouldn't have.
- The Intratec TEC-9 has no weapon sounds (unsuppressed at least).
- AA12 has 30 round drums .. Shouldn't that be either 20 or 32rd drums (though I can't find any info on this 32rd drum)?
- Sterling L2A3 / L34A1 magazine has a secret alien code on it!

Thanksss

Why are Remington rifles accuracy inconstant:
Remington 700 VS (5.56mm) = 90
Remington 700 VLS (7.62mm) = 58
Remington Seven LS (.30-06) = 59

Remington Seven has a bit shorter barrel, but ammunition simillar to 7.62mm.
I understand that for model 700 the LS and VLS are just different finishes, so let's put it aside. They have the same barrel length, so the only significant difference is in the caliber.

Is it true and correct that the smaller 5.56x45mm is much more accurate then its counterparts?

EDIT
I assume that Remington 700 VS is of higher quality build.

How can I make the Mechanic at my base upgrade weapons?
I have Benelli M4 Super 90 and MP5A4 in my inventory, but he just lists what he can do and don't upgrade any of it.

@IceShade
Thanks bro, all those issues you've reported has been fixed and will be included in the 2.0 version. Please continue giving feedback until the actual release since these are easy to fix.

@void1984
The Remington differences are because of game balance, realism takes a back seat in this mod when it comes to such choices.

Give the mechanic the manuals and he'll upgrade the weapon for you. Don't forget to read them yourself first

Thanks. The sniper rifle description helps the situation, as it says to be of a especially high quality selection.
Or you could name all the second grade Remingtons "Model Seven", and the better "Model 700", so at least it would be much easier to tell the difference by name.

Glad to help

One thing I noticed with the M712/C96 magazines (this is vanilla bug I guess, not BSM). It says it can use 10, 20 or 40rd magazines. The in-game magazines are 10, 20 and 30rd.

Haven't noticed anything else yet..

R@S, when will your homepage be online again?
