But before that (Reasearching Psi power) taking on etherals will require two things
1) Solider's should carry an stun rod and walk in pairs so when one get MC-ed the second one will stun him)
2) Use a heck of a lot of TANKS (at least the laser ones) and i mean it. coz the aliens are MEAN.

True, that's good advise indeed.
And the same is true for large or very ufo's with sectoids (their leaders have some nasty psi abilities as well).
Last time I played I almost wanted to change from laser tanks to rocket launcher tanks. After a while it became so annoying of seeing my laser tanks miss so many shots (their accuracy is really low), while a rocket explosion might have taken out the alien even if it missed him by a little.

Thats true but:
1) The rocket tanks carry litle ammo 8 or 10 shots (At least thats enough to take out the aliens in most encounters)
- - - - :Tom:
2) The laser tank shots are free and plentiful
(255 shots are more than enough)
3) The laser tank is swiftly availble for production(laser weapons/laser pistol/rifle/hevy/cannon/tank)
4) It dosent needs any special materials ( like the hovertank).
5) If you have 10 laser tanks in your base no atacker will survive. :evil:
6) The rocket tank can hurt your troops. :tai:
7) And finaly you dont need to buy extra ammo for them (I used them a lot but once ive almost got bananas when i havent ammo to load the tank and i cant send it on the terror site) :ranting: .
Well it was dangerous to the civilians anyway :whistle: .
Soooo... i prefer the laser tanks.

Laser tank just sux. It has very low aromor, it is bigger which means it requires much space for transport and also they got hit very easy, finally they are very expensive. Two rookies (if they are not very dump) almost do the same job. Plasma and luncher tank instead are fine, they have good armoor and can stand on your front line for a while. I prefer the luncher much more because even if it misses a shoot the rocket will hit a wall or other thing and kill alien, obviously you have to choos a godd target otherwise you will lose expensve rocket and maybe kill your force or civilian.
