even after I shot down 3 scouts, one abductor and 2 battleships

Sadly, destroying those battleships doesn't stop the negotiations. Once they appear in the sky, the country is already dead.

Yeah, it gives a false hope that you can prevent the landing and therefore the mission the country is saved, which isnt true...

At least you get a score boost from all these downnings.

Thats kinda sad, I considered it a vanilla bug and thought that OpenXcom got it fixed.

i don't think is a bug. you get  a wave of ufos in an alien missions. simply killing a wave does not stop the mission just stops the wave.
