Gedaliah:
Oh...I'm becoming a troll...

Eek, I guess I'm a bit cold. I was thinking in a infantry vs low flying vertical takeoff craft fight(and all of the player's ships are according to the Ufopedia description of the hangers.) that the infantry could take cover from different angles outside the vehicle's firing arc(s), and eat it a live like a ant swarm taking down a large insect. That is to say it being more dangerous for the craft then then craft was to the infantry .

Your right though, having that much firepower on-demand does limit what your squad can do, and where they can do it considering that almost everywhere expect a terror site will have at least one ship on each side. On the other hand it's insurance the aliens will not kill everyone near them for fear of getting reduced to a pair of smoking boots with no shield left.

Just seems a waste that in all the X-Com(save inteceptor) games that you put all that effort into research, upgrading, and building new ships just so they could be a lawn decoration.

I fail to see how, and I've accused people of it already. :)

Let them get the tanks working.  You'll have your fight. :)

Does bring a new meaning to "Keeping up with the Jones'".  Remember also that (eventually, I hope) the bigger ships means more troops on the ground, and better ability to drop larger UFO ships.  Those first interceptors you have going up a Battleship's tailpipe are nothing but space debree. :)
