4.4.1 Get Plasma Cannon quickly
Plasma Cannon is THE best craft weapon in the game, with 99 shots
and 54 km range. Interceptors armed with twin plasma cannons can
even tackle large (though not VERY large) UFOs safely by
remaining outside the UFO's weapon range.

Replace Stingray and Cannon with Avalanches as soon as possible.
You can also forget about the laser cannon but at least it does
not use ammo and gives good profit.

Alien Bases can be found by two ways: X-COM agents can find an
enemy base for you, or you have to send out crafts and patrol
certain parts of the world. If you see a lot of UFO activity but
can't get any interceptions, there's probably a base.
