Yep they make a huge difference. They are great against the feared sectopod and no alien is specialised in resisting it. Some gamers use them even on cydonia.
Laser tank and Hoover tank have the same firepower (110) but the hover can fly and has better armor on all sides.
I learned that HWP's are not futuristic at all. Did someone heard about the autonomic military robot known as the SWORD ? It can be armed with M256 MG or an six bareled 40mm grenade launcher. The thing can work 7 days in sleep mode and better power sources are in development. The manufacturing costs of 1 of the prototypes was about 260.000 dolars but the manufacturer claim that mass production will lover the price to about 160.000 $ per unit.
Looks like we will have toys to counter the aliens in the future.
Ive found sone X-COM gags in other games here they are:
Transport Tycoon - After year 2000 (only if you have disasters on) ufos land randomly near rails... and are blasted to smithereens by a black skyranger. :evil:
GTA San Andreas - In San Fierro at the street racing mod garage you get to chose betwen two parts Alien and X-FLOW.
