Also, I guess we're still at that point where one shot - one xcom down is the rule.
This is the best part. Lets hope our Captain survives.
These fine gentlemen join the Potato team.
And this one must do with the Kwa team. But transfer to Potato is almost certain...
Bee chases the UFO all over Europe.
It's the smaller version. Phew.
Bee must have made Ace two or three updates ago...
Commander Roxorowski watches over the away team.
KickAss' tank is fired at!
And here's the culprit.
And the UFO is located to the south.
Let's see how Floaters like high explosive autocannon rounds!
They seem resistant.
Ironyuri misses with his laser rifle.
Dextermorgan, on the other hand...
... does not.
Merk II spots an alien during the enemy turn!
He hits it but fails to kill it.
Hidden beneath the Skyranger, the soldiers are safe from retaliation reaction fire. One can't expect any less resilience from a former Soviet design!
Slips II aims at the offending floater.
And ends its life.
KickAss' camera feed reveals an alien. The tank doesn't have enough TU's to shoot, and the rest of the team is on the other side of the UFO.
A Floater is spotted during the alien turn.
And dealt with...
... by Slips II...
... who then proceeds to blast the building's wall so that Merk II and Desmodus III can enter safely.
And KickAss finds an opened door. The alien he spotted previously must be hiding in that building!
As our troops are exploring the northwestern buildings, a Floater exits the UFO.
KickAss kicks it's ass.
pounded_anus II, Desmodus III and ironyuri prepare to storm the UFO. Four Floaters were killed outside, so there can't be many left inside.
pounded_anus II kills an alien.
And Desmodus III deals with another.
The alien craft is secured.
But the mission doesn't end. Well, we haven't checked out the southeastern building yet...
Bingo!
Merk II executes the Floater.
Congratulations Dextermorgan II!
Pope Amole and Interrogator Azira go on a trip to the Kwa to uplift the team there morally and teach them the proper procedure of handling captive aliens respectively.
The UFO lunges towards Bee's Interceptor.
But he downs it in the middle of Sahara!
Mere moments later the talent exchange program between Potato and Kwa is complete. The arrivals are immediately assigned to PotatoCOM's Skyranger.
Sombre Captain-Commissar eklektyk leads the team this time.
Gondolin's tank quickly locates the UFO. It looks badly damaged.
The camera feed also reveals a Floater.
kazgar brings his Autocannon to bear.
The alien does not survive.
Then kazgar finds another hostile!
On his way to deal with it, Sergiu64 sees one more.
He shoots that one instead.
Hellraiser II shoots the one located by kazgar...
But it survives and returns fire!
RIP Hellraiser II
The creature also dispatches the Commissar before he can even shoot it! RIP eklektyk
This Floater is tenacious. It wounded Merk II, so the soldier missed all his shots!
Korenzel to the rescue!
His shot is true...
And the Floater dies.
U-Cat heals Merk II.
Gondolin locates another hostile.
But it flees inside the UFO before it can be dealt with.
One more alien detected...
Golgepapaz misses it...
...but kazgar does not!
Sergiu64 approaches the UFO.
Remember the Floater hiding inside?
That would be...
...the end of it.
Congratulations Korenzel!
Azira is transferred back to Potato Base.
Ahh, armor! If only we had the resources to make it!
A large UFO is heading straight for PotatoCOM!
Alert! Alert! Scramble all jets!
Both Interceptor fighter jets engage the UFO. Being the more experienced pilot, Bee approaches the UFO first, focusing its attention and fire on his jet. He then skillfuly avoids the plasma beams.
So that's how large UFO's look like. Strange, it seems smaller than the medium "Harvester" described by the Sectoid Engineer...
Fortunately the dogfight took place over the English Channel. I don't think we'd be able to take out all the aliens that could have possibly lurked inside this behemoth.
The Council of Funding Nations loves us.
Even the Aussies are not butthurt over Canberra anymore.
Our start-of-the-moth budget isn't as tight as before, but it's not that great either. Hopefully we'll crack and sell some alien tech soon!

Sign up another brave fellow under the call-sign Hellraiser III. Either send him as a rookie to potato or to kwacom as a squaddie.
Maybe set his call-sign to auto-assign to new rookies wanting to join the glorious ranks of x-com whenever there are openings.

Also, the AI patch works kinda as advertised. Aliens sometimes use auto shots and one definitely picked up a weapon after it was previously stunned and dropped everything. Not sure if they're more eager to throw grenades though. But that may be caused by them having alternate weapons, unlike TFTD's drill&grenade equipped aliens who can't use the drills.

Be patient though, I've tonnes of screenshots to upload. Good thing I started to take notes during missions. Makes writing comments so much easier

Have an update.
UPDATE 9
PotatoCOM's radars detect an UFO!
Bee shoots it out of the sky.
Another one is detected by TentaclerapeCOM
Two Interceptors race towards it...
Drakron is faster. Doubtless his eager for first blood.
The forward camera's feed.
And Drakron gets his first kill.
We wouldn't have made it to the Asian crash site before nightfall, so the away team heads for the European one first.
Captain Korenzel leads the troopers.
KickAss' camera feed reveals the UFO to the norhwest of the Skyranger.
It also reveals a Floater.
Ironyuri takes his aim but he misses.
Golgepapaz fairs little better.
Azira...
...merely wounds it.
But pounded_anus II saves the day.
Then an explosion engulfs the tank but doesn't harm it!
KickAss spots the alien that shot at the tank.
Slips II takes aim but misses.
Toastboy fares better: he wounds it.
The alien fires at our tank again. Another harmless explosion. Curious.
Azira II executes the Floater
Cheddar sees another Floater.
He kills it.
A Floater exits the UFO and shoots at our tank.
Proximity grenades are thrown at the UFO's entrance.
A Floater kills Cheddar. RIP Cheddar
Grenades go off but no death cry is heard. Maybe the Floater was shredded to pieces?
kazgar, ironyuri and pounded_anus II kills prepare to storm the UFO. Their reaction fire deals with an alien!
kazgar sees...
...and kills an hostile.
pounded_anus II misses his shot by inches! Damn smoky UFO interior!
But ironyuri has no aiming problems.
The Floater is down!
A Floater...
And X-COM's fire team exchange fire. Slips II is wounded.
Slips throws the alien a present while Azira heals him.
No more cover for you, Floater!
The creature tries to hit toastboy. It fails miserably.
Toastboy has another present for the Floater.
A death cry is heard in the darkness.
And the mission is complete.
We've transferred AsiaCOM's unused rocket tank to EuroCOM. That should make KickAss happy.
Fortunately the Skyranger makes it to the Asian crash site before it disappears.
Commander Roxorowski leads his men.
Gondolin drives the regular tank. The rocket tan reached Potato Base only after the Skyranger departed for the crash site. An Sectoid is spotted by the tank's cameras.
Azira can't seem to hit it.
Sergiu64, on the other hand
shoots to kill.
Gondolin sees another gray creature.
And the UFO.
Hellraiser can't hit it.
Worse, he sees another one!
kazgar disposes of the newly sighted hostile.
U-Cat can't hit the remaining Sectoid.
But Dextermorgan III...
...can.
The mission doesn't end.
Hellraiser lobbs high explosives into the UFO.
A Sectoid's death cry is heard through the explosion.
Mission accomplished.
Congratulations Sergiu64
See that, alien motherfuckers?
Bee intercepts an UFO over Europe.
More soldiers assume the callsigns of their fallen teammates.
Note that Hellraiser III has joined before the last mission. I forgot to take a screenshot of his initial stats.
The Skyranger heads to the crash site.
Captain Korenzel takes the lead.
KickAss immediately detects a hostile.
As he shoots it, another one's reaction fire barely misses the Skyranger's crew compartment!
JoKa retaliates...
...killing the Cloaked Figure.
Yet another alien is spotted.
As kazgar makes his way to dispose of it, he spots a fourth Floater!
His bursts of High Explosive autofire merely stun the third alien.
U-Cat kills the foruth one.
The UFO is spotted.
The alien misses pounded_anus II.
The alien stunned by kazgar's fire is now up again. It's holding a weapon!
Lightbane hits it...
...but it retaliates! RIP Lightbane
U-Cat tries to dispatch it...
...but is mowed down too. RIP U-Cat
Finally, kazgar brings the autocannon to bear. The Floater does not survive this time!
Another Floater shoots at the tank.
KickAss shoots back.
That's why the man loves his rocket tanks.
The tank's camera feed reveals an alien floating through the air.
Hellraiser III shoots it down!
An alien shoots at our tank from darkness.
KickAss locates two hostiles. Unfortunately his rocket flies to high.
Hellraiser III locates an alien.
Kazgar fires...
...stripping it of cover and wounding it!
Hellraiser III misses his shot! Damn that smoke!
But RK47's aim is true.
Two hits are needed to put the Floater down.
In their turn, the aliens wreck our tank.
The bloody thing costs 500 grand!
toastboy spots the tank-killer.
pounded_anus II throws it a present.
And it's gone!
A Floater appears before pounded_anus!
A laser burst ends its life.
Desmodus III, pounded_anus II and toastboy prepare to storm the UFO. It's safe, as pounded_anus scouted it just recently.
toastboy finds a Floater inside.
http://i.imgur.com/ShWsN.jpg
And quickly kills it.
toastboy's reaction fire kills a Floater.
It's the final one.
Sergeant exchange program between Potato and Tentaclerape bases proceeds. The Commissar is in EuroCOM again!
Bee destroys another UFO.
A large one is detected!
It outmanoeuvres our Interceptors and heads for Potato Base! Prepare for attack!
But... it passes over the base without stopping. The interceptors catch up with it. It's the same type as before.
It engages both Interceptors aggresively.
The lower experience of Interceptor-2's pilot is showing. The jet was vaporised before the man could catapult. RIP unnamed pilot
Bee takes bloody revenge on the alien craft.
Before we can launch a recovery mission, a very small UFO is detected on the ground in the UK.
Which UFO should we attack and why? Discuss!

Don't spoil the moment, Storyfag. Plus, I bet that high-caliber tank rounds can explode aliens if you shoot them right. So there.
