Vader,
Your disclosure regarding the different types of ammo was VERY helpful; thank you for it.
The reason why I'm so focused on the .45 ACP is due to my just acquiring the HK UMP 45 along with a suppressor for it. Since I've been overthrowing local governments left and right, and since I have yet to figure out where the filed radio is to control my militia, every time I have to reenter a location I previously conquered, I end up finding out that the locale has been retaken by the prior forces. Which means that I can't even simply walk across a street to complete a mission since no one will talk with you while a battle is being waged.
Yeah, it's ironic that I'm playing a tactical war-game and I
don't want to fight
all of the time, but it's become a major headache for me, so I see two possible solutions:
(1) Finally find the all-important
field radio to control my troops to secure areas that I've conquered
(2) Enter areas not secured by my militia at
night, and then use
suppressed weaponry to get through the fight more quickly and efficiently (or so I hope!).
But I remember reading a brief posting about the sub-sonic ammo for suppressed weaponry, and I have to ask: when I fire
normal ammo through a suppressed weapon, it produces a suppressed firing sound. Does this mean that the AI have a difficult time determining where the round is coming from, or do they "hear" it as loudly as a normal round being fired from an unsuppressed weapon?
Or, does firing
normal ammo through a suppressed weapon reduce its volume
some, but
not as much as if I was using sub-sonic ammo?
Or...?
There's no point in me pursuing this nighttime-with-suppressors strategy if the AI have just as easy a time locating the "suppressed" firearm because normal ammo is being used.
