Can't use hunter in mission, because wrong place of spawn place our dropship.
Car blocks exit, able to burn it, but can't destroy

Keep firing at it. It should have a hidden healthbar and be possible to destroy with any kind of weapon (even ballistics) if you just keep firing at it.

I assume it's stuck in the heli entrance and that the entrance is parked to only allow for a hex or 2 of movement? Think I've seen that on a mission or 2 ... can you just have your soldiers exit out the sides and leave the unfortunate hunter in the ship w/o blowing it up?

ccwylde right, soldiers can exit, no doubt, but hunter in night mission is critical)
Really don't try super hard to destroy car, but 6 shots of l. carabin after 2-3 missles from hunter)) think it's enough because my dead hunter was "eresed" after 2 shots of alien plasma)

Is it blocked into the dropship by a rock? Or is the edge of a map?

I've had this happen once as well. What it is is, the mission launches, but the dropship (for me it was the basic Chinook) has its main bay door, the one that is big enough for vehicles, facing a car. For me it was in a parking lot. The problem is that the car was 2 squares away from the dropship, meaning there was not enough room for the Hunter to get out and move around it. While the rest of the soldiers were able to get out, through the side doors, it did mean doing the mission with only 6 guys at night, which was a tad annoying. I did fire two bursts from the Hunter's MG into the car, which did make it explode, but left the burned out husk which still blocked egress from the Chinook.

I hope that this is something that can be fixed and patched in easily. Love the game so far; you guys made it really easy to modify the game which I love! I've already even done some tinkering of my own (this was after the mishap with the Hunter, mind you, so baring time travel, the two are not connected) to raise soldier starting stats back to 50-65. The fact that you guys made modding the game and its files so transparent, rather than hiding everything in odd filetypes, is a really awesome choice in my opinion. I can't wait to see what mods come about now that the game's fully released and getting more coverage as people are able to get it from Steam and GOG!

...I seem to have trouble staying on topic x.x

It's a problem with the map so that particular map needs to be fixed. a screenshot of it would probably help identifying which map it is.
Did you try shooting some more at the hunter after it initially blew up? It should be possible to completley destroy it so that you can pass.

Sadly it was over a dozen battles and a restart of the campaign ago, so no joy on screenshots. I'll be sure to take them if it happens again.

I did not try shooting it further; I didn't think it would be destroyable after blowing up.

Afaik it is. Hey4s comment seems to confirm that.
