This ambush is just a bit too much. I have so much Armor + Health, I even got the resurrection from getting shot, and I just keep resetting this exact conflict no matter how many times I try to play it safe, and throwing grenades pre-emptively when the flash comes. I just get surrounded and shot out by snipers.
I just feel the AI is a bit too conscious in this fight as I'm literally left defenceless against enemies who take multiple shots from best sniper rifle in game, take a TON of shotgun blasts on face from my autoshotgun + burn damage, and it's a bit messy.
I can understand lower difficulties this fight scene is impressive but it's a bit overwhelming. I think one of the problems is that snipers keep aiming at you 24/7 despite them actually having a sight on you, meaning that if you just step out from cover, and you don't time those enemy sniper shots, you can easily get KO'd.
This reminds me of the fight with the Crimera as your ally where you just get surrounded from all sides, with relatively weak character compared to how much enemies can take. In both fights the enemy accuracy is so high, and the shotgun blasts, even from relatively far away, you get killed so easily.
I think enemy shotgun damage should be spread a bit more so you're not taking the whole blast from like 20-30 meters away. Also I'm pretty sure those snipers do more damage than I do.
Another thing is that invisibility doesn't do anything in this fight, even for a brief 3 second opener would be enough to take out some guys but they just keep having focus on me. Am I pinged or something?

I mean I was able to win after 20-25 tries, but DAMN this was so difficult, having to use all tricks, and getting lucky when enemy just appear behind with no warning. Maybe using Ping hack could've made this fight easier...

Second phase there's a lot of units coming toward you and it's really difficult fight to defend. I just feel Songbird should maybe ping enemies instead of me wasting precious RAM on the moment of battle. Tiny bit too aggressive, especially when doors are closed and I'm not able to get out yet.
Also I don't know how or why but my health max went to like 200 hp, and then I get 1 shot by snipers. I have 16 points in Strength, and +35 extra hp, probably the Black Lace v2 which cuts health in half. Can't really undo that now that I'm fighting the enemies. I should gain more armor in exchange, but the health loss is clearly far more potent than armor gained.
I think the biggest issue is that netrunnign is very costly against these enemies. It takes me full RAM cost + health to put Cyberpsychosis on enemy, and all the other quick hacks don't do much of anything. Suicide is basically just 1 out while Cyberpsychosis can take out 2, if they attack ally. Using things like Overheat is just way too expensive to the cost, along with many others.

) was going on highest difficulty much easier. Could be partly also better choice of cyberware and more experience with it. But fast movement and dodging definitelly played huge role. My V is very skilld with throwing weapons and katanas, but still like playing with cyberdecks ... which have limiations when engaged with more tough enemies at once.
