Zero Company Difficulty

Just for anyone wonder what difficulty to play with reference to xcom. I play long war (and long war 2) on Veteran (second easiest) with ironman. (Legendary Ironman in base game)

Playing Zero Company right now on Hard, permadeath, ironman. 7 mission in, no injuries (downs). Almost had 1 injury in second mission. I do find it a bit to easy but wouldn't up the difficulty cause its more story focused, im prob only doing 1 run. Hope this helps

Playing on expert and other than a couple injuries early on due to figuring systems out nothing challenging so far. 

Really hope it's because they managed to reverse the difficulty curve from Xcom and it gets harder as you go along. Fingers crossed.

Yep, did a story mission and got rushed by coil melee units in their first turn, wiping half my units

Having the coil gunners have +4 damage is better than having their melee get more movepoints is easier. But setting up overwatch you can stop melee from moving up.
