the main strategic resource that contributes to victory should not be money, but new knowledge and technology.
This is more typical of the Aftermath series. Where the player was given everything in the missions and almost nothing had to be bought. I did not like this approach. In real life, you have to pay for everything, and nothing is given for free, so the existing gaming economy is more relevant.
It would be even better if the ammunition for the weapon had to be made separately and they were not endless.

but that might be just my play style.
Me too.
For me, a machine gun is not effective compared to a rifle in combat at a distance, and it does not have enough TU to get closer than a shotgun. Although a laser machine gun is probably very effective against a group of nearby enemies. But in such cases, I prefer grenades and missiles. -

I like to play big missions of 20-24 people against 20-40-60 aliens.
Disagree. In the middle of the game, there are enough aliens on missions. 16 soldiers is more than enough. Even 12 soldiers are enough for a comfortable game. We have a tactical game here, not a battle of two armies.

Also I don't see what other interesting stuff you can do with vehicles
Vehicles have a good overview in night missions

One engineering base is not effective. It is better to divide engineering into two bases, then the speed of engineering will be higher

Where do you get so many weird ideas? Did you even play the classic X-Com? We are not trying to create a completely new game here, we are improving the existing one.

It would be an advantage to have their names flash in red if critically wounded and bleeding out; this catches the attention!
This won't be necessary if the developers add mind control and bleeding icons to the top bar with soldiers' faces

Just play, and then we'll talk.

There only work a limitation of Bases worldwide and different sizes. 1 or 2 can maximum Big, others have to be Maximum Medium Size.
Like I said, I have testet it in several Versions and it don´t belong what you do, the Money and Material is low. If you have 3 big Bases you can´t build up more and half Earth is undefended.
Players must decide for themselves which bases they need, large or small. They must also learn to manage their money properly. The game should not make any restrictions to simplify base management.
This is a strategy, here the player must be able to develop a gaming economy and find new sources to increase money (sale of modern weapons, fighters, construction to improve offices, etc.)-

You mean mechanics where i throw smoke nades at aliens and i dont need any other Stun tools xD
I mean reduced accuracy when shooting through smoke. The Stun must be adjusted in the next updates, otherwise the stun gas will not be needed.

All vehicles must contain a pilot (s). Then it will be the same soldier, only "better armored". But if the tank occupies 3x3, then the firepower of 9 soldiers instead of 1 tank should be higher.
That's right, every vehicle needs a pilot. As the developers said, it is controlled by the pilot of the aircraft. The initial aircraft has one pilot, Pegasus - two, Valkyrie 3 pilots.
Each vehicle occupies one tile like a soldier.

Smoke nade spam = ABUSE
This was an abuse when they gave 100% protection even if the target was in an adjacent tile. Now it is an additional protective feature for a skilled commander.

Game is designed to 2 way of combat
There is a third option. Careful reconnaissance and killing of aliens in the distance, or using shelter and smoke grenades to avoid damage while getting closer to the enemy.

It would be convenient to add the ability to create a group of soldiers (a platoon, as in the army). So that with a few clicks we could replace the whole team on dropship.
For example, if a team returns from a task and they have more than 50% stress, the player needs to replace it all. If it consists of 16 soldiers the player must make 32 clicks to send this team to rest and another 32 clicks to load a new team (64 clicks).
In the suggested idea, the player will be able to send a whole team/platoon to the barracks with one click, and load another platoon into the transport with another click. This option can be added for transport.This is what it might look like

The proposed idea is not suitable but it contributed to another idea:

How many soldiers are in transport in your screenshot?
In the game we are discussing, a maximum of 16 soldiers are available during the mission. Moreover, we have a different face for each soldier, unlike the old game where all units were clones. Therefore, the division of the team by ammunition is enough. And if you have a few special soldiers, it's not so hard to remember their names or faces. -
Speaking of H.E.V.Y launcher, the game lacks research and improvement of this type of weapon

@Komandos When building a new Base, you can decide for yourself what to use it for. I do not see any benefit in the fact that the developers will make restrictions for the player. We try to follow the original X-Com game. It was special precisely because the player decided everything himself.
Any simplification of the gameplay (endless ammunition for weapons of soldiers, vehicles, fighters, etc.) make the game less interesting. That's why I think simplifying Base management is a bad idea. -

Why the failure? The bad thing is that you can fire more bullets from a pistol with a few clicks on the trigger than you can do in a single burst from a machine gun. The machine gun must fire more bullets per turn than all other weapons.
The pistol can fire 5 shots provided the soldier is not moving. The rifle can fire 6 times (2 times by three shots). That's why I proposed to reduce the cost of TU for the machine gun to 50%. Although, it would probably be more correct to add a firing mode with more shots and a higher TU cost.

Everyone creates the build he likes.
By the way, what benefits does C4 bring to you?I have never used them and I still do not see the need to use them.
I have never used shields, but recently noticed that thermal pistols are too effective compared to kinetic, so they can be used after researching thermal pistols.

I increase the length of the queue from a light machine gun to 9-12 rounds.
No, it will be a bust. But they can reduce the time spent on the snap shot: make 50% instead of 55%. It is also worth adding another sighting mode: 70-80% accuracy at a price of 95% TU

Вы также можете раскрасить броню, чтобы выделить отдельных солдат и отряды.
Каждый вид брони и так имеет разные текстуры в бою, зачем их еще красить?

What makes me very angry is, that People which haven´t testet a new Feature say we don´t need or that.
I think the developers spent a lot of time on this, although they could have solved the problem in a simpler way. I definitely do not need it, although perhaps among the new audience there will be fans of this, we'll see.

I use the reflex only for shotgans. This is especially useful against rippers.
I give roles to soldiers on the following principle:
Good reflex and a lot of TU = shotgan,
Good accuracy = riffle men
good strength and average accuracy = sniper (my snipers carry medikits and lots of grenades)
good strength and a lot of TU = rocketer (1 or 2 per team if there is no MARS)I do not use machine gunners because of poor accuracy and high cost of %TU on shot. For suppressing the enemy is more effective to use flash grenades. They act on a larger area, accurate and spend less TU. And they can be equipped with all soldiers, regardless of role.

When a soldier receives a bleeding wound, the game shows a message before the start of the move. You only need a small mark in the top list of soldiers to make it easier to find this soldier.
