one last word to the laser rifle vs. heavy plasma thing^^
yesterday a snakeman/chrysalid ship attacked my mainbase where i just finished ti manufacture about 30 laser rifles. the game automatically equiped my soldiers with them instead of the heavy plasmas wich i normally use (and with a psy amp).
well, it was pretty hard to kill chrysalids with laserrifles (because my soldiers carried the rifle and the amp in both hands so say good bye to accuracy).
i normally prefer to MC the enemy, try to kill (while using him) some other alien, than drop the weapon and run straight to my people. (of course, controlling a chrysalid you canīt attack him without first giving him equiptment first).
normally a chrysalid wonīt live long if a soldier fires in autoshotmode at him with a heavy plasma. well....this wonīt work with a laser rifle...
so: if it insīt a sectopod heavy plasma s are superior to heavy laser (autoshot, more accuracy, more damage)
