"Laser Cannons have unlimited ammo... what can you do." Laugh uproariously when Kiko realises that they have the tinest, itty bittiest range ever, SO short range the Interceptor Pilot may as well throw his slippers at the UFO.
Jutah It has been an Honor and a Privilege to fight along side you. As we lay you to rest please know your sacrifice will not be in vain. For Earth and the glory of XCOM!!
COWN report 12 After finishing off the last alien in Cairo, the X-COM team welcomes back Drake, whom they forgot in 30 days. The organization then decides to take out the base in Indonesia, with some opening reception from snake-like beings...
Their ammo is made from thin air apparently so no Elerium is ever needed after they've been built and equipped. And yes with cautious attack they can be used to gun down everything except battle ships, because they have a larger range than plasma beams and can one-shot Interceptors.
Oh no!!! Jutah is gone!!! Who will deliver pizzas to the team when they're hungry? (confused by the pizza thingy? Check out Kiko's Silent Bomber LP, at the ending cutscene)
10:10 Kikoskia comments that Jutah has done really well surviving this long. Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. 11:58 Jutah dies, horribly. Subzero, who was also doing well, gets shot in the chest.

Kiko, laser cannons are hopelessly useless due to their range. The best ship weapon to get when you can is plasma cannons, they have 100 shots, good range and good damage. In my best game of x-com all my ships had them.
@KILLRAIN42 100 shots per recharge. No ammo. (To my knowledge, they might actually consume elerium but I never ran into any problems). They are definitely worth using - can take out anything short of a battleship, no problems.
@Psych0Mikey Yeah, with Laser Rifles and Laser Pistols the only advantage of the pistols are basically that you can equip something in your other hand without losing accuracy and slightly less TUs when using Snap Shots (but much less accurate). This is different from the normal Rifles and Pistols where pistols actually have some use.
Lol. That alien was one of the first ones you shot, The one you reloaded the save and then he shoot a civilian from miles away. He didn't actually die, just got stunned. No death sound was heard.
@coopy868 Only about a twenty Million times. I distinctly remember the sound from the dragon unit in Warcraft 2, though I last played that over 10 years ago.
Actually the base is technically in Papua New Guinea as far as I can tell. A bit more to the right and it would've been in Irian Jaya, the indonesian part of new guinea.
@spOnge1337 Hmm, so if laser cannons have shit for range, and as such are only usefull for disregarding aliens and acquiring currency, what, therefore, would you say is a better choice? And please don't say missles, I might have to cry at that.
@emilysong2000 *Sub Zero Jr. gets shot* SZJ: ARGH! ....ergh...no...you alien scumbags got my brother...BUT YOU WONT GET ME *RETURNS FIRE AND SCORES A HIT* ....that...was for him.... Julius: *pulls out medkit* Zeroooooooooo!!!!
@VincentPrice111 You can sell them for a profit. If your engineers do nothing important, you should have them manufacturing something quick and expensive, like laser or plasma cannons and sell them
I know you're probably getting tired of hints, but I wanted to pitch in to say that using the medkit to heal beyond eliminating fatal wounds doesn't actually heal any more. So it's just a waste of TUs and medkit stuff. Just FYI for the future!
@xewexewerx The Steam version seems to be the exact same version as the Dos 1.4 version. So all bugs present in that are still there (The Difficulty bug and the bug where you still have to pay maintinence for dismantled base facilities for example). The only difference is that it's patched so you have to launch it from the steam launcher.
who thinks the aliens and humans could be friends if they tryed like in most movies and some tv shows or do you think there like the teplers and assassins and cant make peace
Any chance you could run through all the buttons on the combat UI? The steam version came with no manual :( Most are easy to figure out but some just seem to do nothing
@xewexewerx Yeah, I've seen that comment too, but that' the only place I've seen that mentioned, so unless I see it verified, I'm going to stick with that it's the 1.4 DOS version (which I have seen mentioned by a few different sources). I don't have the steam version myself, so I can't really check. RUclips comments aren't the best place to get facts from (which ironically of course invalidates my own comment, hah).

An alien base with nice grouping, and no heavy weapons platform to scout? LET THE BLASTER BOMBS BEGIN!!!!
Actually, he's The Honorable Dr. Sergeant Sub Zero Jr. Esquire. He had a life before signing up for XCOM you know.
Jutah It has been an Honor and a Privilege to fight along side you. As we lay you to rest please know your sacrifice will not be in vain. For Earth and the glory of XCOM!!
@KILLRAIN42
Avalanche, then Plasma Cannons. Plasma Cannons are lovely things.
RIP Jutah...you didn't talk much, and you were just one soldier who's on foot, but it was a blast knowing you.
i love how you jinx your soldiers, first bacatta and then jutah, irony seems to be your worst enemy X-com operatives.

"Jutah's one of the actual surviving members."
And thus Kikoskia sealed his fate.

Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
11:58 Jutah dies, horribly.

Jutah should have some primed hi-explosives on his body. So his "gameover" would have some appropriate fireworks in it.

The Avalanche launcher(Well, I think it is that one) has range as long as a Plasma Cannon, and can one shot the big small UFOs.

@Bloodlyshiva ...Crud....I had just equipped my four interceptors with them and sold almost all their other equipment...sad face :c

Julius: *pulls out medkit* Zeroooooooooo!!!!
I thought you were going to try to "incapacitate" (i.e., stun) that last alien?
Ugh... so much for getting mind control from any of the Sectoids.
+jcb3393
He doesn't have mind probes yet. The only way of finding the leader is stunning everyone, which would yield very high losses.

@LordPayne Yeah. Third best..you only have to get close enough to hit and usually by then your fighter is gone.
@VincentPrice111

Drake is the only surviving original member.
Nice!!! back to XCOM!!! Bring them home alive Kiko... or try too... XD

@heytheremarioman392 would you rather it be a sonic boom?
@69KVN69 Oh, yeah I saw that on one of the later videos. I guess I should remember that for my next file.

@emilysong2000 I thought of that joke the instant Jutah joined up. :D gj
R.I.P. Jutah
I'm pretty sure the slippers cause more damage anyway ...
@Benylor Do the Plasma Cannons have limited ammo, or are they like the Laser Cannons?
who thinks the aliens and humans could be friends if they tryed like in most movies and some tv shows or do you think there like the teplers and assassins and cant make peace
And you can use Cautious and not even bother getting in the UFO's attack range
are laser pistols better than laser rifles? Just curious.
I actually never understood some things about x-com. for example, how troops gain ranks.
Not a bad start for a base...
@KILLRAIN42 Limited. And like most Plasma stuff, costs Elerium to make. Can't capture more ammo.
Any chance you could run through all the buttons on the combat UI? The steam version came with no manual :( Most are easy to figure out but some just seem to do nothing
kung fu man? we got a military man hitting people with haduokans,huh?
Hong Kong Phooey!!
@sp0nge1337 They are the third best weapon for taking down all ships, despite the range issue.
Serves Jutah right for killing Gaston in part 5.
Nobody gets shot in the head like gastonnnnn!
I hope you will clone Jutah.
gaston was going to help the aliens and burn all the cookies on earth jutah shoot him cause he heard gaston telling someone the plan before part 5
@xewexewerx Yeah, I've seen that comment too, but that' the only place I've seen that mentioned, so unless I see it verified, I'm going to stick with that it's the 1.4 DOS version (which I have seen mentioned by a few different sources).

...I don't understand the need for 20 laser cannons
MONEY!!!!! lol
@sp0nge1337 He probably confused them for Plasma Cannons.
@sp0nge1337 'Pew-Pew' Lasers For The Win XD
God dammit, I meant left.
"We're as ready as we'll ever be to...uh..."
*Purchase 20 grenades*
"We're as ready as we'll ever be...."
@sp0nge1337 p sure theyre the best thing to manufacture and sell
@thebladeofchaos no thanks. there's already enough sonic boom spam with street fighter 4.
Metal gear game over sound kiko. kiko? kikooooooo!!!!???
*grammar nazi moment* its stuff, not it's stuff. *end grammar nazi moment*
