Are there 21st century developments that could be implemented?

Unmanned aerial vehicles, or maybe an option to obliterate the ufo on the ground using the same weapons?  That would be the ufo would be destroyed which might be good if you can't be bothered with salvage. 

Oh, and hey, night vision goggles....

[kkmic]

NVG existed even when the game was developed.

But they would make a nice change. I think they could be researchable and reduce the night vision penalty by 25-50% (the aliens would still have an advantage)

[Align]

How would they be equipped?

[kharille]

Good question.  But surely those tanks can be upgraded with night vision?

There was this amaizing thing implemented in laser squad nemesis, different types of soldiers had different vision.  Should be easy to implement in this game surely.... 

[SupSuper]

Should be easy to implement in this game surely.... 

That kind of thinking can get a man killed around these here parts...

When you click on an operative with NVG on, the whole screen turns green and black! You can see!!

How much would military NVG cost in 1999?
