XCOM 2 Nonsense I'm Dealing With

[AmazinglyAmazing]

While Lorenzo preps to throw in a merry band of surely to FF marines to take back the Earth in War of the Chosen, I'm already taking it back in the Vanilla version, though I do plan to get the DLC later on. But right now, I don't have 40 bucks to cough up so... I just play with mods along with the two other DLCS (and the occasional Long War 2, which is basically XCOM 2 but with... a crap ton more content). So, I'm here to show you some of the nonsense I've dealt with while retaking Earth. (One more note: My current campaign is Veteran Ironman mode, so fun times.)

First off, crits. They're nice yeah, and can be increased with perks n' stuff. But this... https://imgur.com/Hmaf9Hr
This is just getting ridiculous.

Second off, my characters. I have made a few custom ones, including my PFC Marine (besides Stiggs from time-to-time)... Paul 'Grunt' Lorenz. https://imgur.com/4Cthyo8
And Keith, what a man: https://imgur.com/i313Po6

And finally, my luck. Even for Veteran, I struggle a lil' bit, maybe cause I'm playing on Ironman mode risking heart failure when I realize I've made a bad move. If it weren't for Ironman being enabled, I'd be save scumming like the disappointment I am right now.
Anyways, here's the aftermath of the 'Alien Blacksite', which is supposed to be really difficult (and it was): https://imgur.com/8WLBUWO

I may post more here, and even maybe some other stuff if you all want such as game-play or just summaries of stuff going on in my current campaign. But seriously, I suggest getting your muhreen signed up with XCOM via Lorenzo's post.
