Well a really good tactic i like is when you use flying suits to enter through the roof of a UFO, its great to surround and pin in the aliens by splitting your force into two, after securing perimeter of course, nothing sucks as much as being shot from a place you thought youve already checked, sending in one team through the door while another goes through the roof is really usefull in pinning down aliens, especially if it aliens who are ready to blast your men coming in from one side and you simply blow them up from the other side.
Also if your having trouble finding alien commanders/leaders then you should use a mind probe. The Commander/Leader generally has better stats then other members of the race.
And I think someone said somewhere that they dont like to use smoke grenades because it hurts thier own troops more then the aliens. Well thats slightly wrong, if you use power/flying suits then smoke doesnt actually affect you (except for vision) as they are environmental suits and have internal breathing apparatus. Its also a great tactic to panic an alien first and then simply smoke it out while its hiding in a room.
