then why not XCOM make similarly ?
XCOM too can shoot aliens from helicopters - not need always to ground operation
anonymissimus:
To avoid dropships getting intercepted, do not immediatley launch when missions appear. Crashed UFO missions stay for at least a full weak until they disappear and do not reduce nation happiness at midnight unlike other missions. UFOs always come in waves. Lure gunboats to bases, taking them down with ground defenses while repeatedly launching and fleeing with an interceptor into the base. Begin flying missions only 2-3 days after the first UFOs appeared. Landed UFO missions and ground-spawned missions are problematic, since the disappear after ~2 days and reduce nation happiness at midnight as long as they are still active. More than one dropship and bases with dropship hangars so that there's an alternative escape from a chasing UFO can help.

Wrong forum. This is not XCOM, that game is produced by the Firaxis software... ;)

I think he was referring to PHALANX, calling it XCOM by mistake.
I think that the alien air superiority should be more implied, by adding more UFOs always flying on the Geoscape. Thus, in the early game the player will have to make choices on which UFOs to intercept. Since Fighters and scouts cant actually land, the player may only focus on harvesters that are targeting inhabited places. Also, the ability to shoot Harvester with starting tech should be present, Currently they are impossible to shoot with 2 Stilettos.But this i think is going to be introduced with the new air battles, which seems to be quite far away.
