The way the game currently is, the alien forces get tougher as the game
progresses ( smaller subs in the beginning ).

In my X-Com experience even in good campaigns there are a significant number
of alien bases i'm not able to eliminate....so playing the alien side may
not automatically mean the humans will eventually outnumber you massively.
