I've just convinced my alter ego "H2dO" to enlist in case more fishfood is needed.

If that name does not work lorewise (s)he is also known as "Plank ton".

Can I be a Medic again? I have not finished viewing Area 51 (I'm like halfway), but if possible, I would like to cure people again.

I'm already three episodes into the series on YouTube.

Suddenly it sank in. I've not even signed up, yet. What a terrible mistake. Forgetting to sign up for glory once again.   :o

Better late than never.

In-game name: Kjotleik
Role: Anything the commander needs (but I do love me a nice big BOOM on occasion).
Aggressiveness: Kjotleik will always volunteer for the most dangerous missions without hesitation. No guts, no glory.   ;D

Watching video 10 Hallucinoids.
I think the no-LOS penalty is calculated tile by tile, so with large creatures you can actually get the no-LOS penalty on the parts of them that you don't see (the game tells your agent CAN see the alien but in truth you actually see only part of it).
This is the case of the Hallucinoid in your video: if you look at minute 6:50 you aim on all its 4 parts and one part, the one closer to the flare (north-east), doesn't get the penalty; that part is the one you agent can see.
In general the accuracy suddenly rises near the flares because it grants you a "bubble" of LOS... maybe even beyond the agent sight range?
You probably already noticed this.

I wanted to continue this weekend, but I got sick.
So hopefully next weekend... if I manage to get rid of this stupid flu.

Maybe i dont understand something, but how you can outrun fighter with barracuda?
The fighter have speed of 2700, while barracuda only 2400.

You cannot outrun them, they will eventually catch you.
But the speed difference is quite small, so it takes a long time for them to catch you.

On the picture below, there's the distance between Barracuda and the Base (green) and Barracuda and the Alien Sub (pink).
The distance is (very roughly) the same... which means the alien sub would need to be (very roughly) twice as fast as the barracuda to catch it before it can land in the base.

You can see here for example that the alien sub is shortening the distance only very slowly: https://youtu.be/HCbj2AUgMLg?t=1828

PS: to give you an exaggerated example: let's have two cars: one going at 99 km/h, second going at 100 km/h. if the initial distance between them is 100 kilometers, the second car will catch the first one after 24 hours :)
