I have not noticed it yet. Even though, it is still an absurd ability. Also, are you saying I have to go into aim modus for it to pop up ? Yeah that just adds to the atrocious design of that troll ability. ---

> [@omenomaho](#): > > Also, are you saying I have to go into aim modus for it to pop up You don’t have to. Just assume that every Arthron which is nearby will return fire and plan accordingly. ---

Yes I do that now. Does not change anything about that ability needing to go or severely reworked. ---

It doesn’t need to be reworked though. Your soldiers also have the option to return fire, and I’m sure it’s just as annoying to the Arthrons as it is to us. It’s a tactical part of the fight that you need to work around. It’s no different than characters being able to counter attack in other turn-based combat games. _shrug_ ---

It actually is incredibly more annoying to us than the pandorans. First of all they have apparently infinite magazines, whereas we actually have ammo to worry about. Second they absolutely constantly take losses and it doesn’t really affect them at all, whereas one dead unit for us can be backbreaking. That said, I find that most of the time when you’re about to fire the game accurately shows the icon showing which aliens will return fire. If they could eliminate instances of return fire not being shown, I would have no problems whatsoever with it. ---

I haven’t noticed them reloading, but then again It’s been a while since I let them shoot at me that much. Do you know what their magazine size is? ---

There’s a lot that needs rebalancing in Phoenix Point, but generally I think the majority of what’s happening here is people bitching because they find the difficulty too challenging. Not EVERY aspect of the combat needs changing. Scroll the forums, count how many different mechanics people want nerfed. If the devs actually step in and nerf all of this stuff, you’re going to find yourself in candy land where everything’s a breeze. I’m not defending all aspects of PP in its current state, but return fire isn’t exactly one of the areas that is tilting the difficulty scale in one direction or another, especially when return fire is so easy to obtain for your own troops, as well as dash and rally the troops. I have seen VERY few people complain about return fire, and if it’s this much of a nuisance to you, I’d venture to say you are not approaching your combat as tactfully as you should be. ---

Yeah man, this is what everyone was asking for… a mod that makes Rage Burst more effective. Hah! [Previous page](https://forums.snapshotgames.com/t/mod-disable-firing-target-animation/7147.md?page=1)
