Are they trully elite soldiers??? why can't they aim right...

[Kanjejou]

Seriously I begin to doubt the will of humanity to win the war when they send me soldier that cant hit at point blank range when flanking...

I stopped caring about my soldiers because even at max level they can't aim strait...
loosing my stop levle sniper with spychic power ... nervermind this guys miss half his shot anyway

Loosing half a team of super soldier in titan armor and plasma riffle and in heavy cover to a single sectoid(not the alpha form) because he keep criting for 10 damages a shot every two missions...

Finding the big bad robot expect to loose at least a soldier per turn with its ridiculous 15-40damages braket and doubloe shoot. and magical deflecting shield that transforme shootgun shot at point blank range in 50% to hit...

Who says elite soldiers always make their shots? I've had point-blank shots miss a few times, and I got upset, but still killed it with someone else.

Why are you quote'ing me? I said the same thing as you, elite soldiers miss sometimes.

It's being faithful to the classic.

I'm afraid I misplaced that image showing the likely fire-patterns of the standard new recruit in old XCOM, though. Something about literally headshotting every other XCOM soldier while trying to shoot aliens.

If you think that's bad, try playing the original. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rookies would not only miss the aliens but also often end up hitting each other. Also, one shot deaths and reaction fire massacre while getting out of the Skyranger FTW.

god i remember those days but atleast the could see to the end of a building i feel like the have gone to the streets found a bunch of near sighted ppl and recruted the worst ppl they could find

I've never had an issue with terrible accuracy, though granted I've been playing on Normal. IRL, even the best soldiers short of a sniper would LOVE to have a 1/2 hit/shot ration. Go check out the stats on how many rounds are usually spent per enemy killed in real life - it's obscene.

Sure, occasionally, a top-notch trooper will miss a ridiculous shot, but what can you do about it? If they hit all the time, there'd be no strategy, just line up five Squadsight snipers and send a Ghost support or assault out to spot for them.

If a simple Sectoid keeps destroying your team, follow the chart:

1) Consider your tactics. Are you taking unnecessary risks? You are trying to win a straigh up firefight? Both of these are no-no. Use grenades, overwatch, hunker down, flanking, everything to deny the enemy the advantage. Do not try to trade shots, your job is to deny the enemy mobility and attack vectors while maximizing them on your side.

2) Use your squads abilities and consider where they are good and what their role should be. Sniper is useless as a frontline soldier (you need to babysit him until he gets either Squad Sight or Snap Shot). Heavies are not there to kill stuff, but to make them keep their head down and blow stuff up. Assaults are there to get up close and personal. Supports... support. Think before acting.

3) Drop the difficult. Impossible is not called Impossible to stoke your e-peen. It's called Imppossible because it practically is. If you are on Easy...there is nothing to be done. Try some other game.

What an excellent post. As the internet is 99% stupid with an IQ lower than my shoe size, welcome to the 1% :)

I remember the good ol' days.
Epic team of fully equipped troops and one weapons platform.
Land Skyranger.
First turn
<Alien Movement>
Suddenly, grenade in Skyranger
"Fu-BOOM"
Fission mailed. :/

My fav in the old days: One alien sees you.
The sectoid commander somewhere on the map with no LOS mindcontrols your trooper with the Blaster Launcher and wipes out your fullyloaded Avenger with 20 soldiers and 4 hover tanks.

Better yet.

Random alien sees one of your soldiers.

Ethereal on the other end of the map now somehow knows where you weakest will possesing soldier is, AKA Inside the Skyranger where no alien can see.

You know the aliens aren't really standing still?
It's a turn-based game.
They are actually running all over the place, hence they are hard to hit.

[Kanjejou]

shouldn't our soldier also be hard to hit

They are hard to hit. It's just that usually one hit is all it takes to kill.

Yup, your soldiers are elite soldiers.

Too bad even a Sectoid has better reflexes and aim than best that humanity has to offer.

Only everyone knows that is not true.

That's...XCOM!

What a magnificent argument! Truly, in face of such well constructed claim I must concede defeat!

Now, honestly, care to explain little more?
