Like you wouldn't be nervous if an alien would be standing 3 metres from you...

what about aliens accuracy? it's probably also be increased on higher difficulties.[/b]

Icewolf you've got to negate them the opportunity to fire first, always. Move always from corner to corner and avoid open terrain, and if you can't, make extensive use of smoke grenades. If you're having problems check my post about X-Com tactics:

Hope it helps.

Also quite ridiculous is that the earth's elite don't know the concept of night goggles...

Hey later you can make a shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.exe" -c "mount c c:\yourgamesfolder\ufo" -c "c:" -c "ufo"

now back to the game. i have spome unfinished business with the aliens (cydonia needs to be destroyed). i postponed it for a long time now...

anyway my situation is this: i am basically awaiting for the soldiers to complete their first psi training to see who is capable of doing the final mission. now i already know some are crap and they are dedicated flare throwers that way at least i know who will get under control.

my problem is that i just noticed (and this i already forgot) that quite a few countries already canceled my funding. it's due to those alien infiltration missions. now i am afraid that next alien mission will be the end of Xcom. eventhough i have 3 bases and over 40million cash.

so i came to a point with the save game when everytime i load the alien infiltraiton misison ship comes up on screen. but everytime i want to intercept it i fail. no one can catch the damn thing not even the fastest ships. and they get launched form base that is usually almoust on the path of alien ship as well as form the base the alien ship is closing into. but they can not catch it. so, any advice?

It hardly ever happens in X-Com2, because the fastest ships can awalys cath their large ships i believe. but here i saw this the first time so what should i do? keep reloading and hope to succeed? cause i am kind of afraid it will be game over by the end of month and i actually only need to finish this month and i will be ready for FINAL ASSAULT.

If ... "few countries already canceled my founding" means from 2 to 4 countries ... don't worry, i'm unable to remember the exact number, but it is very high (perhaps all country must be lost in order to loose the game).

First of all take a look at my previous posts (#2812 & 2814), in short word... don't get bored trying to prevent an alien infiltration mission.

But if you want :

after you had shoot down ALL of the Ufo's before the battleship (or sometimes battleships [not more than 2]) to engage battleship you need 3 or 4 interceptor, with this seek the battleship, only when ALL 4 are engaged (so minimize the firsts 3 interception windows and choose the appropriate mission [unable to remember the name :bleh: ]) launch the attack, from 1 to 3 interceptor/s will be lost but battleship will go down.

As i alredy wrote in previous posts you need to shootdown and recover (or shotdown in water) ALL the Ufo's otherwise nation will be lost...

By the way, i think that this trick is also described in the walkthrough (or at least in some F.A.Q. in the net) so if my words are unclear (probably since my english is quite bad ) take a look on it

[gregor]

i think it's more like 6 or 7 countries lost already...

my problem is not to shoot it down. the problem is to catch the UFO. because even if interception beginsby going towards it they still try to catch it from behind and fail. it doesn't even get me to the battle window.

Maybe i should try avenger craft... only in X-Com2 that other craft was quite sluggish... i have no problem in shooting down the aliens with the plasma or fusion balls... well i will still ive it a try next week... see what happens.

if read in one FAQ you can only survive with few countries, so i might stop carring about them afterall a single small downed UFO provides more money then any of them...
