TFTD resetting to superhuman was a joke, it wasn't actually doing that.
Generally you aren't going to get an early base assaults unless you shoot down a ufo right over your base I did this by accident on the second UFO and had a base assault the next day, I lost because it was a combination of MC sectoids and cyberdiscs against 10 dudes with rifles and pistols and the one dude with the starter rocket and the starter HC

Don't listen to this faggot, rushing laser rifles is one of the best strategies in the game, mostly because it makes your rookies more useful and it really helps you survive for several months. The second best strategy is later to just land at terror missions, but leave right after landing, this doesn't give you that big of a hit to your country and you dont have to waste your time on it

The only way I made it bearable was a squad of 6 heavies all with splitter rockets and regular rockets.

It's not the same, but it gets a quick fix of explosives for such a weak game.

What is more exciting? Picture related, or some animation that either does damage or says "miss". Nothing is more aggravating than not having actual live projectiles, even seeing the misses fly in places they shouldn't (either into enemies you didn't target or a chair) is better than a SEEDED dice roll that triggers a long animation followed by Hit or Miss
