many eastern block officers might have 'advisor' combat experience. Especially middle east one.

shrapnel range for defensive grenade can be about 200 metres. which is much more than a throw range (thats why you go down immediately after throwing this thing) example - soviet F-1 grenade. modern grenades use plastic hull with premade shrapnels inside, and have range of about 10 - 20 metres. offensive granades have higher load of explosives, but much less fragmantes, reducing its effeective range, but making them safer for attacking troops

from my experience it is moved to upper right corner of the map

i remember that picking up unconcsious aliens in original UFO was a good way to prewent them from waking up and shooting my men in the back. about other bugs: loading a savegame with ufo will move ufo to upper right corner of geoscape regardless of iits position

well, i would agree with drop tanks, would be nice to have ( about parameter degradation: they were called rdrop tanks, cos they were suposed to be jettisoned before combat to prevent that) also adding more slots that could be used for ECM pods or otther E-War equipment would be nice

had a few crashes relating to shooting aliens today. was shooting both sectoid, and the other ones, with m-16 and sniper, the crash seemed to me related to death animation ( it crashed when death anim should occur. on other not, tryong to load savegames made slight before it, crashes game too
