Also is the improve artillery shells improve howitzers or enhanced artillery as I do not see improved artillery shells on the tech tree.

I am actually going through my cost again. It seems I somehow got an extra 1,800 action cost from somewhere I actually come in under budget I think. Could You help me out I want to get the price right?

Just because people aren't voting for your plan or for a plan that isn't Void's doesn't mean that they aren't considering all the plans and weighing the pros and cons of each it just means that they think his plan is better than most of the other plans. I'm even an example of that because before this I would have voted for your plan but during the time between where you first proposed it and when you actually posted it you made changes I wholly disagree with and therefore shall now be voting for the plan I pledged my support for in case I ever stopped liking yours.

I just don't agree with the constant push to militarize our ground forces just because we might in a very unlikely scenario need them despite our naval and air forces being objectively the better option for the protection of our nation due to our geography.

paratroopers when combined with unlimited flight time air transports would be great for country defense or potential hidden chrysallid outbreak, plus need boots on ground for garrison and holding actions and asset acquisition.

I get 5950 for your total action cost including alien software for 10125 total costs so 1675 left over (goes to 1700) reduces interest next turn by 51 plus German oil sales. You may have been planning some boosts that you took out originally but still counted the cost with the extra boost.

I linked the wrong revision of the tech tree, the update now includes the correct version.

We will also need marines for our space force at some point. Though my hope is to try and acquire some of these techs through tech trades/purchases with our allies, for example Australia has started the vehicle tech tree on the weapons side.

So what are quench guns supposed to be? And what actions do we need to trade/buy tech with Australia and others?

Yeah that is what I got as well Thanks I adjust it again. Still don't know what I screwed up but what ever it good now.

Do you know how many troops we could carry with a full thousand of our largest possible troop transports? 60k. Do you know who would be stopped by 60k paratroopers? No one we should feel threatened by.
Chrysalids are extinct outside of XCOM, what do we have to garrison besides Greenland and a few islands? What holding actions or shitty euphemisms for looting or snatch and grabs going to do? I don't mind militarizing sooner or later, but infantry is the last thing we need to improve right now. It lacks the force concentration to make airlifting it attractive, is the quickest to setup, and is reliant on a ground war with us ivesting disproportionately more men than we might otherwise have to. It's easier to send a thousand fighters to the CAU than two hundred thousand unsupported infantry.

@Isaacssv558 is it confirmed ALL chrysalids have been exterminated on earth?

I don't think even XCOM would make more Chrysalids. The other aliens are somewhat intelligent but the Chrysalids are just bio weapons.
Yes there are no aliens on Earth outside XCOM control.

Quench guns are the improved Gauss weapons from the Foundry project. Tech trading/buying will unlock on a case by case basis. With the military alliance you meet the minimum requirements, but Australia is still reluctant to share their proprietary tech. This will change as your relationship deepens and trust builds. This will happen in the background so long as you maintain the alliance. It can be accelerated by taking actions which involve cooperation with Australia.
Yes.

had to make sure, i still remember that damn whale infested chrysalid mission.

Don't worry it was bombed out of existence. XCOM made sure there was no more aliens on Earth after the war.

That mission was the worst. It took me at least a dozen tries on my first playthrough.

Okay, so thread- I think it's time we actually plan how we're going to build our military in the near future so we don't keep putting it off. Divisions on whether to immediately pursue infantry, or officers, or what have you is diluting interest enough to prevent anything from getting done there and is liable to do so for a while.
In that interest, I think we should develop a new multi-role fighter and focus on getting at least a thousand or two of it into service so we actually have a way of projecting force. The Templar has an all missile layout in addition to a lack of variety of payloads. We should pursue a single flexible design here that can leverage our air advantage without immense time investments.
So, because I'm on the phone- and curious how people expand on this let's say the requirements are as follows; must carry at least some kind of laser weapon, be capable of carrying either 2 cruise missiles, 10 JDAMs, 4 torpedoes, or 10 various air-to-air missiles. It's preferable if it can fulfill one of the aforementioned load outs while carrying parts of another strike package.
Which does bring up an interesting point- will alien alloys be a potential trade good? Because if so, proliferating the tech to people like Australia while we make Excellent AM foundries seems like it could be printing money.

So do they have any idea on how much of a tech lead we have? You gave us the techs they have but we don't, do they have any incharacter awareness that, hey, the Americans are trying to build as many alien alloys as they can? Or that we have fusion?

I just kept my entire team back at the extraction zone after clearing out all existing enemies, then sent one man into the whale ship, who then proceeded to run non stop back to the LZ with team giving cover fire, if he made it good, if not then rest of team leaves alive, he got lucky.

Expand factories (infantry) plus I like his research more than yours.

I think increasing the officer corp is the first thing we need. With an expanded Officer corp we can preform more action in the military. This might translate into another action for the military slot, but I pretty sure it will take a combination of officer and expansion of at least one branch.
Definitely agree we have our interceptor let work on our multi-role fighter now.
