In my personal experience i mostly do stealth missions, when i don't have enough soldiers (or decent gear for them at later months) to do a proper fighting mission. Even in my veteran run playtrough i had 2 teams that were able to fight alines with decent effectivnes. Any more fighting missions sim...

There is even a mechanism to punish too many concurrent infiltrations by increasing evac timer, however this is currently quite negligible (1 additional turn if you have 7 or more infiltrations) and probably not widely known. This is another point that could be used to change the situation if playe...

Soldier time is a major strategic resource and currently small squads double dip, because not only do stealth missions occupy less soldiers, it also occupies them for less time. Those two advantages compound. On top of that, you have - dependent on the amount of intel gathered by the haven - a vari...

On Rookies/Squaddies being effectively free, if you're finding that you're able to translate an effectively free resource into more valuable things maybe the simplest solution is just to make that...

That seems to only really apply to Jailbreaks, though? Every other stealthy mission type requires you to throw the evac yourself or doesn't start you off concealed. A couple of extra squaddies are actually a non-trivial liability for everything but jailbreaks, aren't they?

Now imagine an 8 day hack workstation mission pops, do you send your B team, or do you send a stealth team? You could choose to send your B team, and then with 4 days of infiltration to go, a retaliation pops and you have to cancel your infiltration to handle it, but now there isn't even enough tim...

I'm curious about what more experienced players think of this. Maybe part of th...
