The best thing that i found to kill them its short range laser assault that takes near 3 troopers per sectopod and only if u managed to isloate one lefting him without backup. A Battleship can carry more than 4... Plus when fighting a big number of ethereals, the first line of them advance backuped by Psi power of the unsppoten ones. Maybe smoke (P rocket) can handle this last problem but what about sectopods?

Short range laser firwe is more efective than you wrote a while ago One or two hwp (laser) cannon shots ususly take them down and a close ramge laser rifle burst from one guy can smoke its sensor circuts.
I think that theres a hit box system in the larger aliens coz front laser fire seems more damaging to the robots than shoting at its back.
Fire beats etherals? If thats true the incendiary weaps have a use coz last time when i used them i had problems with burning a damn sectoid.
