You need labs and you needed them yesterday. Most won't have enough slots to fill every country till year 2. Have EU covered and preparing to expand? Get the needed slots. Get them as you need to expand and that's about it. It's more important to get UFO counter measures, improved avionics, armored fighters and penetrator weapons.įor the base, you don't need to get all of the satellite slots that quickly. Once you expand, you have the interceptors ready for it and preferably already with laser cannons.

Since your base is in EU, a decent start is to secure that first with interceptors (upgrading them with laser cannons whenever you have the resources, and that should be a priority as you lose LW if you lose the air war) and since 6 might not be enough when you have missiles, 1-3 stashed away at a different continent that you can transfer to EU for ones being repaired.

You need to lock them down before expanding. Not a country here and there on random continents. You want to expand one continent at a time. Same with only having two in SA and one in Asia. One interceptor in NA is completely useless and three in EU won't handle the amount they might throw at you. You want 4-6 interceptors per continent all with laser cannons really. More resources for them means they can throw more at you and it's better stuff since you gave them a lot of research. Let me know if need to provide any more info.ĭepends more on the mission type, but yeah.

I have carapace armor and some guass weapons, I have not crushed exalt or an alien base yet, I'm in the process of some gene mods, and I have a few maxed out soldiers. I'm getting my ass kicked (as expected), but now I'm at this point where every mission that comes up is infinitely beyond what my soldiers can do. I'm in the middle of my first Long War playthough have beaten xcom EW and xcom 2 multiple times.
