If you have a designated storm-trooper (i usualy had 3-4 soldiers) who are the first ppl inside a UFO or if you know you are facing extreamy tough resistance, here is a special trick for you.
Bring a few rookies you've just requited.
Arm them with the heaviest weapon they can carry, preferebly blaster-launcher and a single round for it, along with a proxy-nade.

At the start of the battle, have them all start with proxy-nades in theire hand, and arm it the first thing you do..
Now, put the nade in theire belt, and storm the controle-room.
If the lone soldier survived the entering, fire the blaster.
If he doesn't, well.. you've just placed a trap, since the proxy-nade activetes one it's on the ground, eg the soldier dies... same goes for the regulare explosives (nade, alien nade, smoker and so on..)

BANZAIII!!!!!

If you MC an alien that is "useless". Just have it pick up one of it's nades, prime it @ 0, and go back to inventory and take it from its hands and place it on the ground.

It's fun when you've managed to MC one, and he spots another, and another, and another.. and you do this with all of them...
had several mission where i annihilated the crew before they got to move the first time. LOL
