LOL yeah. Flying suits with pistols + Stun Rods (I keep calling them tasers) is a bit of a piss-take.
To make it really playable like this, you need XComUtil so that High Explosive can blow hole into a UFO roof and also blow through the walls. Very handy, or else it would be even more difficult.
X-Com tip of the day: If you need to take out an alien base quicky, get XComUtil and bring along loads of HE packs. You can blow up walls, roofs, anything you can imagine with an explosive that does 150 damage
