What kind of grenade ?If it's smoke or flashbang,I don't see problem here.Also how do you know they weren't spotted.Just because you didn't see alien doesn't mean that he didn't see you because he has bigger LoS than soldiers (Ceaseans,Harridans alike)

I am well aware that they have better LOS but it was close quarters.

The problem is the target xenonauts were never spotted, nor have they spotted anything and suddenly a grenade flew over a wall.

There seems to be a problem with the landing ship dismantling as it requires a cruiser datacore. Also, are the aliens able to see my units?(Staying behind a wall until a soldier get close enough/throwing grenades over a wall despite not having seen my units at all)

Well, that's very odd then. I have the light and heavy vortex projectors researched as well as the tech for Warhawk and the only things left are the buzzard and the rocket turret for the hunter as I personally never use the hunter, too fragile.

Yeah, I missed the omega alien. Are omega aliens leaders or above?

Sorry, I did not say. Cruisers appeared very goddamn fast for me, like after 3 landing ships(on multiple continents) and during the terror I did have plasma weapons and was researching buzzard armor(have entire team in wolf) as it was the only research topic left. Hm, I never actually got to research the tier 3. Could I have missed something or was unlucky enough not to get the artifacts needed? I did have advanced ballistics but they did not really help, except that gatling(Korhang). I will reinstall the mod to make sure nothing is missing and start again to see if I missed something.

Well, it takes it way too far. As soon as cruisers started appearing the aliens became virtually immune to both ballistic and laser weaponry. Grenades and rockets would barely do any damage and I had to resort to just airstriking them because the missions were pretty much impossible. Then a battleship arrived and started a terror mission I scrambled my team out of my shrike into cover in such a fashion as to avoid grenades. Did the aliens care?NO, they threw grenades at every single soldier I had and panicked/mind controlled the rest. My reaction, simple, exited the game. Losing right after turn one when troops are far apart and in cover is just stupid.
