Is it just me or is the difficulty insane on just 'Hard'?

Is it just me or is the difficulty insane on just 'Hard'?

I'm just a couple of missions in and pretty much every single mission is rated as either "very difficult" or "difficult" with odds severely stacked against you while not really having the resources to deal with them?
It's especially punishing if you end up picking the "wrong" soldiers (like the demo guy is fucking trash).
The missions where enemies get reinforcements quickly become bonkers if the RNG is against you (miss several moderate-higher % shots).

reinforcements do drive me insane

even on normal they are a pain in the ass

So are we actually discussing the game or are we going full retard again?

Cherub and Terminal are OP and mandatory.

Why are they so smug

So Torque's swallowed people whole huh

The sectoid is really fucking creepy with lips.
Why didn't they just keep the ACK ACK martian design?

Snek and ayy are both good, but Cherub's shield is MVP.

ive done missions without either

torque feels way more valuable, you can basically take any one unit out of the fight with a successful tongue coil

They did the same with the Muton. They probably felt that they look too much like monsters/not like heroes so they made them more human looking.
