I did try to enter a large scout ship a few minutes ago and it went terribly bad. My soldier were having less than 20% on their aimed shot ( sniper included ). I think the worst was to see the alien doing some burst at a high distance and kill 1 trooper every turn.
So I wonder if the only "safe" way to clear the alien ship are to just use rocket launcher and grenade ? You launch a rocket to suppress them. Then you throw all the grenade you can. Repeat as long as needed.
Why ? Because the accuracy of our soldiers is so bad in the beginning. I mean, you have 3 to 4 alien behind 50% cover with gun that 1 shot kill your soldier. You have weapons that take around 3 to 4 shot to kill an alien but you have less than 20% ...
I would like to know what do you guys do to clear the large scout in the beginning ?
