And then you got those Missions where you gotta fight a group of UNACs. One UNAC, even two would be little trouble, but because there's like four or five of them against single AC odds are against you even if their attacks just bounce off it still whittles down your AP. So since i dont have a team, and I dont usually use a UNAC myself, I put myself at a disadvantage I guess.
like i said, the rankings just only means that your AC is not equipped with the proper parts to be deployed on that mission (kill them fast and effectively enough). i also find that the garage is nowhere to be found in the missions (which is good)
the consecutive and number of AC's being fought in a mission...
i seem to notice that they're not all that aggressive like in the first game. they hardly fight you with their weapon's optimal range. aside from that, although that it may seem that they're clustered into groups, they seem to have the battle ethics of only having the closest of them to fight the player in a more aggressive tactic.
I first noticed that on Mrs. Kraken and and her sniper gurlfriend
the sniper seems to not be as aggressive on certain ranges, as well as when i'm fighting Mrs. Fischer (sniper literally camped on the other side of the wall while i take on Mrs. Fischer[a very obvious and easy divide and conquer tactic])
Although saying that, Mr Fischer and son seems to have a behavior similar to the first ACV
which I can only conclude that the developers only complexes the difficulty to a more analytical factor rather than just skills alone.
