== Tactical Advice ==

'''Role:''' Defensive Support.

Medics are support units and are geared towards defensive roles. Their titular '''Field Medic''' perk, makes them invaluable during longer operations, such as the Alien Base Assault or Battleship UFO missions. Unlike the Engineer, the Medic has very few offensive support perks, instead having access to both better medkits and better smoke grenades.

Medics can specialize in three different support roles. With '''Field Medic''', '''Paramedic''', '''Savior''' and '''Revive''' they become dedicated field medics, whose role is to keep other soldiers alive and heal any damage they sustained during fire fights, though they won't do much good during said fire fights. '''Smoke Grenades''', '''Smoke and Mirrors''' and '''Dense Smoke''' make them great at creating cover for advancing friendly troops and keeping them from getting hit, with '''Combat Drugs''' available to put an offensive twist on smoke grenades. '''Opportunist''', '''Sentinel''' and '''Suppression''' make them able to cover the flanks of advancing friendly troops and keep enemy agents from moving.

Due to their defensive support perks, it is highly advised to them keep away from the frontlines, working best when they can do reaction shots or lay down covering smoke. Unlike vanilla, Long War Support classes have poor aim progression, so don't expect your medic to contribute accurate supporting fire in their spare time like they can in vanilla. However, their wide variety of defensive and support skills make them excellent for holding the flanks or rear.

Research (Long War)

2014-08-19T20:10:12Z

Maladictus: /* Research */

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}

Autopsies now require multiple corpse specimens (so, 1: you cannot 'double-dip', and 2: do not worry if you cannot go for a capture on an alien's first appearance), and are a prerequisite before you can do an interrogation on that species (when applicable). In addition, some later species have other prerequisites that need to be completed beforehand (such as the Mechtoid Autopsy now needing both Sectoid Autopsy and Alien Biocybernetics to be completed before it's unlocked). Also note that South America's bonus has been changed to a Power-related reduction; you'll naturally be poking aliens with pointy implements for much longer times.

Interrogations still have the Alien Containment/Arc Thrower prereq--- and it's highly advisable to keep both, and to continue to capture aliens when the opportunity presents itself, as captured aliens are very valuable Council Requests, on top of the continued collection of alien weaponry. Research Credits are also a prime time-saver:
*Sectoid: Cybernetics
*Thin Man: Laser Weaponry
*Floater: Aerospace
*Muton: Gauss Weaponry
*Berserker: Armor
*Heavy Floater: Plasma Weaponry
*Sectoid Commander: Psionics
*Muton Elite: All Weapons
*Ethereal: All Tech

Because projects have much longer research times and there are far more projects, research is in general a more time-consuming affair. On the plus side: with far more aliens to kill, you'll rarely be out of Weapon Fragments.

Research (Long War)

2014-08-19T19:56:32Z

Maladictus: /* Research */

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}

Autopsies now require multiple corpse specimens (so, 1: you cannot 'double-dip', and 2: do not worry if you cannot go for a capture on an alien's first appearance), and are a prerequisite before you can do an interrogation on that species (when applicable). In addition, some later species have other prerequisites that need to be completed beforehand (such as the Mechtoid Autopsy now needing both Sectoid Autopsy and Alien Biocybernetics to be completed before it's unlocked). Also note that South America's bonus has been changed to a Power-related reduction; you'll naturally be poking aliens with pointy implements for much longer times.

Interrogations still have the Alien Containment/Arc Thrower prereq--- and it's highly advisable to keep both, and to continue to capture aliens when the opportunity presents itself, as captured aliens are very valuable Council Requests, on top of the continued collection of alien weaponry. Research Credits are also a prime time-saver:
*Sectoid: Cybernetics
*Thin Man: Laser Weaponry
*Floater: Aerospace
*Muton: Gauss Weaponry
*Berserker: Armor
*Heavy Floater: Plasma Weaponry
*Sectoid Commander: Psionics
*Muton Elite: All Weapons
*Ethereal: All Tech

Because projects have much longer research times and there are far more projects, research is in general a more time-consuming affair. On the plus side: with far more aliens to kill, you'll rarely be out of Weapon Fragments.

Second Wave (Long War)

2014-08-19T19:49:05Z

Maladictus: Didn't notice that hidden potential was re-instated instead of World Diversity.

In Long War, all Second Wave options are available from the start.

* Damage Roulette: Same damage algorithm as in Long War EU. Displayed damage on item cards will correctly reflect this setting.
* New Economy: Same as in Long War EU.
* Strict Screening: Replacement for Not Created Equally. By default soldiers will have randomized but balanced starting stats. Selecting this option will revert to fixed starting stats for all soldiers.
* Hidden Potential: Soldier stats at level-up are randomized.
* Training Roulette: Soldier perks are randomized. This may include some MEC perks. In general the list of randomized perks is different than in vanilla. (For example, Field Medic cannot be randomized).
* Save Scum: Unchanged from Vanilla EW
* Red Fog: Significantly changed from vanilla. Aliens and robotic units are affected. Aim and Mobility penalty scales linearly with damage taken. High Will stat can reduce the effect. Robotic units have "infinite" will for this purpose, and so will not have aim/mobility penalties until they drop below 50% health
* Absolutely Critical: Unchanged from Vanilla EW
* Liberation: Replaces Psionic Interrogation (requirements for psionics are completely changed). New SW option requires that all countries be re-taken prior to launching the final mission.
* Not-so-Long War: Replaces Marathon. Generates fewer missions per month and reduces requirements for various things to compensate.
* Results Driven: Income varies with panic level, and the formula has been adjusted to be based on the new 100 point panic scale.
* Cinematic Mode: All soldiers, SHIVs and interceptors get +15 to hit in all cases.
* Diminishing Returns: Unchanged from Vanilla EW
* More Than Human: Chance to successful training a psionic power is reduced. Failing to train still does not prevent further attempts.
* Itchy Trigger Tentacle: Unchanged from Vanilla EW
* War Weariness: Funding reduced over time. Rate of funding reduction slowed to match Long War timescale
* E-299: Renamed to be more consistent with chemical notation. Rate of Elerium decay reduced to match Long War timescale.
* Total Loss: By default soldiers that are MIA (either mission failed or soldier was left behind on abort) have a 50% chance to have their gear recovered, and dead soldiers on successful missions always have their gear recovered. Total loss results in equipment loss for all dead soldiers and all MIA soldiers.
* Alternate Sources: Increased power requirement. Values adjusted for Long War.
* Aiming Angles: Unchanged from Vanilla EW
* Mind Hates Matter: By default only the Neural Damping genemod is prohibited to psionic soldiers. With this option all genemods are prohibited to psionic soldiers

Second Wave (Long War)

2014-08-19T19:38:02Z

Maladictus: World Diversity option in second wave has been removed.

In Long War, all Second Wave options are available from the start.

* Damage Roulette: Same damage algorithm as in Long War EU. Displayed damage on item cards will correctly reflect this setting.
* New Economy: Same as in Long War EU.
* Strict Screening: Replacement for Not Created Equally. By default soldiers will have randomized but balanced starting stats. Selecting this option will revert to fixed starting stats for all soldiers.
* World Diversity: (Removed as of Beta 13) Replacement for Hidden Potential. By default soldier stats on Level Up are not randomized, but if this option is selected they will be. It will also allow for unbalanced starting solder stats (some soldiers will have more "points" at creation). If both Strict Screening and World Diversity are selected they "cancel" in terms of starting soldier stats.
* Training Roulette: Soldier perks are randomized. This may include some MEC perks. In general the list of randomized perks is different than in vanilla. (For example, Field Medic cannot be randomized).
* Save Scum: Unchanged from Vanilla EW
* Red Fog: Significantly changed from vanilla. Aliens and robotic units are affected. Aim and Mobility penalty scales linearly with damage taken. High Will stat can reduce the effect.
