Do you actually manage to finish anything with laser weapons? I mean, what's with the unlimited ammo and wasting 20 tu's reloading? I have a very careful way to play, I hardly lose man (except the damn novices proving me wrong when I think they're ready to join the main squad, and mainly only to mind-playing ethereals). At most, you'll have 20/25 opponents, if you have 12 in a squad, that's 35x12= 420 shots. Get yourself a good squad (aka very good reflexes, somewhat good accurancy, very brave and with a long training in psi labs), and you'll hardly need to reload one single weapon during the entire game. Besides, after occupying a few strategic positions in battle, most of the team will be stranded, and the ones advancing can always switch places when/if they need to reload.
Heavy plasma and psi amps are without doubt, the ones to blame for me finishing the game in all levels except superhuman (They start off way too fast, if someone can finish this one, I'll bow to you  ). It's hard enough with it after veteran, can't imagine how to play without them. :blink:
Lightning and firestorms are worthless. Go straight to avenger. With 100 scientists working on it, you'll take less time completing research on the avenger than building up a lightning in 2 workshops.

Duh....I finished Ufo in first four difficulties and then as the Superhuman JUST with laser weapons(and Blasters).I really dont see what you all have on heavy plasmas :blink: There is only one thing in they are better than lasers-you can made holes in Ufo more easily with them :bleh:
Really,I never had a problem to kill something with them :blink:
