Cool game destroyed by sheer stupidity of people designing battles during missions. Their receipt for fun: 1. Make player consecutively miss at 90% of CTH 2. Pit players against overwhelming odds, like 2 or 3 to 1 3. Make opponents almost never miss no matter the distance 4. Equip opponents with heavier weapons than what you can currently have 5. Make opponents focus fire on one target and give them higher initiative. Sure no problem in 6-8 consecutive attacks while you wait idly and watch your mech obliterated into pieces Pure fun. Old Mech Commander had a perfect balance, maps were intelligently designed. This developer lacks imagination and skill and sets the difficulty level at "almost impossible" by unfairly cranking up all parameters in the favor of opponents. Save yourself frustration, get trainers or mods which can fix the balance

Turn based feeling like an action game, that's something new. Train chasing is awesome. And the bravado system works like charm, though it requires some getting accustomed to. You need to forget about XCOM and understand that cowboys survived battles not because enemies had 25% of CtH but they did not have a chance to fire at all :). Dead enemy cannot harm you!
