Human Strategy and Tactics

 1+1=3

Humans work better in teams while aliens prefer lone wolf tactics. With some good teamwork this can greatly benefit the human team. This strategy works best with different weapon combinations. For example, an attack on the alien base using one painsaw + grenade and two flamers, all in light armor can cause devastating damage to the alien base. The painsaw throws a grenade at the overmind and painsaws the eggs + the overmind if it is still alive, while the flamers repel defenders. You would be surprised at how much aliens run away from focused flamer fire. This combination can easily deal up to six times the damage of a single painsaw + grenade + light armor human.

Medkits

Medkits are very important to humans as they provide the only out of base healing, and remove poison. Justifying when to use the medkit can be hard, its best to base it on what you expect to fight.

e.g. If you are fighting dragoons spend it after one hit (if in light armor) or two if in battlesuit. Also if you are returning to base use your medkit since you are going to get a new one at the medistation
