idea based off of this mod: [mod link removed do to creators being dicks]
Ok I love long war two, but it has a huge problem on defense missions even in late game with the player just never having enough fire power unless they are extremely lucky or play it perfect and even then their is a massive chance of failure if just one shot misses.
So here is an idea based on the mod linked above. xcom deployable sentries. these would be slightly expensive mobile turrets that act sort of like none mobile shivs from the first game.
BASE IDEA
[number code] sentry
info: this small deployable turret allows us to quickly bring the pain when and where it is needed, while they take some time to set up the advent will never know what hit them.

aim: 45
crit: 0

deploy time: 2 turns
abilities
