2.5-dev play through
ShipIt:
Damn. The UFO landed before Stiletto I could reach it. The interceptor pilot is not amused. Now he is hoovering above the landed UFO to keep it down and cover Firebird I. Alpha Squad, calm and collected, disembarks to take care of the UFO crew.
One alien is crawling in the upper right building. On his way to enter the roof of the left building, Crystan sees another on the open area behind the left building. He is too low on TUs to fire, so he hides to wait for a better chance. All squad members can get at least a piece of cover in the first turn.
In his turn, the alien on the left side shot at a civilian and moved into the building afterwards. Crystan can make a clear LoS, but a problem occurs - a window. He cannot shoot twice and get back to cover. So he can only break the window and retreat. Jon_dArc, ordered to cover Crystan on the way to the roof, steps out and fires two consecutive five-round-bursts from the Submachine Gun. The Taman staggers, but does not fall.
Marco Suzuki steps behind him, the Combat Knife ready to end the pain of this alien invader.
On this pic you can see what a smart guy ChemBro is. He knows, of course, the alien will shoot first, breaking the window for him.
It did not for some reason, but the 5-round-burst is enough to break them booth - the window and the alien.
Here Crystan has the right distance, but not a clear LoF. From behind the the car Thierry Zhang kills the alien, Julia Kuzmin softened it up before.
We now have already four UFOs stored. And no credits to build another UFO-Yard.

It has radar coverage on four nations. Also, there is not much water. I don´t want to lose UFOs in the sea. I mostly build Asia, North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Australia and a manufacturing-only base next to the first one.

I are smart. 8) Also GL 3 round burst is (was) imba.
maackey:
yeah, firing three rounds in less time than it takes to quickly snap off two? not to mention the assurance that the target won't be firing back on his next turn...
ShipIt: Either one is fine. (aka I am undergoing choice paralysis atm)

To be fair, without that ability the pathetically short range and unexceptional damage of the GL would have made it pretty bad. That said, the current approach is significantly better.
