Sonic weapons worked fine on land in the games and while I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't as effective on land in this quest I'm sure they'll at least be as good as the stuff X-Com's got.
 
[x] Your forces are going to need some extra fire power if they're going to be able to do anything if they want to work on land, better see if you can get a combat drone designed to fill the need.

Looks like UFO Hunting and Sea Life are the current leaders.
 
Aquatoid Units and Weapons
Aquatoid Units
"Our basic soldiers while we Aquatoids may not be the best species for combat we are more then capible of sending our enemies to an early death if we put out minds to it."
Powerful units base of off bears the Ursa can attack it's enemies using either a sonic roar at long range or it's powerful claws at closer ranges.
"Our basic combat sub the Cultu has powerful sonic weapons built into it allowing it to fight equally well on land and under the sea."
"Our basic transport sub."
Aquatoid Weapons
"Our basic side arm the sonic pistol is a powerful too for combat both on land and under the sea."

Commanders first Terror unit.....even if it probably won't do much terrorizing,
[x] UFO's and sea life

The first order of business is to figure out how the Ethereal forces have changed over the years. Those lunatics have been conquering planets for a long time now, and any number of changes could have happened in that time.

"Zana" you telepathically contact your second in command. "Prepare some interceptors it's time to bring the fight to the Ethereals!"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!" your second in command cheers over the link "Death to the Ethereal scum!"

Once again you find your assistant disturbingly bloodthirsty.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

The reports you get back from the first operation are………….confusing to say the least.

Apparently the Ethereal unit of choice was the Sectoids of all things. While they were armed with powerful plasma weapons Sectoids are still fairly weak combatants and without any psychics among their ranks they wound up falling before you had much difficulty. Why wouldn't they have psychics though? It's pretty much the only thing sectoids are good for, even Aquatoids can overpower them on land, and you know for a fact that Aquatoids are not good land fighters.

It doesn't make any sense!

Something fishy is going on here and it isn't you for once.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

In other news earths wildlife continues to be weird as <XXXXXXXXXXXXX> on a <XXXXXXXXX?>!

"Ooooooooooooh commander." You here Zana's mental voice chip in "You thought a bad word!"

Pretty much, but you honestly don't care.

"Oh your so edgy commander." Zana's voice continues to be as peppy as ever. "You really need to learn to enjoy life once and a while.'

You know how to enjoy life!

"Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure you do."

Well anyway Earth's wildlife continues to be weird.

While most of it is just too maddening for you to even begin to try and weaponize you have found some specimens that might be worth the attempt.

Which one do you focus on for now?

Lemme guess. Just like TFTD, 'They' don't even have a decent sonic rifle to their name...

Edit: oooo, another update!

Hello organic tank. Seriously these things are nasty enough IRL. Some genetic mods, implanted armor+weapons and we got a shock trooper that is as good on land as it is in water.
Their ability to potentially go toe-to-toe with Berserkers ala MECs and use Sectoids as hacky-sacks is a bonus.
