Sorry, I have to disagree. I often don't leave the Firebird in the first round, when not neccessary. Instead I drop smoke to cover the troops.
During the following alien-round I see the moral of my troops drop 1-3 points every time an alien is shooting. But I can't tell if it's because they kill civilians with the shots or it is because they actually shoot.
i think that aliens that panick always throw away their weapon. dont know if they can pick it up again.
Yes, the alien yesterday dropped his stuff. Don't know if they pick it up again either.
