so is the air combat mini game actually worth playing or is it just easier to auto resolve all the time
I had worse, sent a fully equipped and loaded troop transport to mission and UFO intercepted it and shot it down :DBtw that fucked up mission had an even greater fuckup situation around.
The reason, I am having money troubles is that I expanded pretty quickly as I think every downed and nuked ufo gets me funding. So I have 3 bases and because I was luckily experimenting I do have defenses in 2 of them. They upgraded to lasers automatically which was sweet.
So the situation was, 2 corvettes spawn, one of them with 2 fighters escort, I have only a foxtrot and a condor (second condor is grounded), so I shoot down the lone corvette and return to base while the the escorted corvette does the usual flying about albeit very close to my main base. I ignore it and lift of for the mission with all my soldiers and while I'm flying the corvette starts circling my base and voila - first base attack. And I have not a single soldier there, thats timing for you. Holy shit I prayed. That screen from anti-air defense is also awfully long to read and I sighed in fucking relief when it showed 2000 damage (I assume) and destroyed corvette. So lucky. And then the mission goes all belly up and I have 2 soldiers left all in all...

Happened to me too, was an unkind surprise. Lost only 2 soldiers though. I was wondering what the point of those fighter squadrons was...UFO intercepted it and shot it down
There are situation when 5 guys cannot kill a purple android in a single turn...

Heavy fighters combos?There is at least one matchup early on where you literally can't win due to lack of firepower, yet autoresolve can.
- you don't need to install the CE if you are going to play xenophobia,as I wrote before its already included in the mod.
