Xcom 2 base layout plus#

In the North West room is a soldier with Proximity Grenades. There is a second soldier with him to open the door for him and to do reloads for him. The blast reaches around the corner to get aliens 'early'.

In the North East room I place a guy with a rocket launcher, his job is to send large rockets to the South West corner of the Missile defense.

Plus since they are double-wide one soldier can open the door while the other fires. When the doors open the soldiers behind them can see directly into the path the aliens must come through. Anyway the general stores are here because the doors on the lower floor run North/South and are two squares wide. This reduces the distance they travel to get into position. Normally you want genreal stores and living quarters as close as possible to the choke point since soldiers are most likely to 'begin' here. To the right of the missile defense is a general stores. Plus it maximizes the length of the path for the aliens to reach me. The reason for this arrangement is it places the Missile defense stairs on 'my' side of the base. Specifically, the Hangars begin in the top left corner and proceed down with the access lift on the top row and the Misslile Defense below. Next, my choke-point is a Missile Defense (because of the wall between the middle and the outside forming only one path for entry) even when I have Fusion defense I still have this missle defense facility (just because of its lower floor map). They all share this arrangement (obviously once I get HWD it repalces the large radar).ДЇirst of course the hangars and access lift are isolated with 1 square of dirt around them. The base you see used as my avatar forms the 'core' of all my bases. Me I've gone one step further and chosen specific facilities to form the chocke-point and surronding area for a coordinated defense tactic spread over several specific base facilities. Im sure we all have the hangars and access lift isolated from the rest of the base except for a choke point (BTW you need at least two hangars or else there's a good chance some aliens will start 'inside' your base).
