Tactics / Re: Attack which UFO with what ?

My two cents: I was able to take down Bombers and Gunboats with basic Starchaser luring them over the laser-defended base. The trick was to attack and, as soon as UFO makes a visible turn to fighter, land it. Usually the alien rockets just disappear (since the target is in the hangar), and starchaser's missiles hit the target. UFO also flies in the direction of the attack for a while, staying in the zone for lasers. Then as it starts on away-from-base course, attack it again. With proper micromanagement I think even single saracen with no weapons of note can down any ufo that way.
While that tactic allowed me to win, I think it should be fixed in the code. I would humbly suggest something like behaviour trigger for UFO: if hit points are below 50 percent - stop behaving aggressively and/or stay away from known bases/SAM sites.
