firestorms are your fast interceptors which can be built quickly & cheaply
while your still researching the avenger. you shouldn't have any bother
getting to the other side of the globe for anything except terror ships &
battleships, which are too fast - the thing to watch is fuel, as they only
carry 20 Es, iirc - so get there & kill em quick, don't wait & try to get em
over one country rather than another --- alternatively, if you have enough
decent soldiers that you can have some in the patrolling skyranger as well
as some at home base, then chase the ufo with that instead - you get more
equipment & more points assaulting a landing rather than a crash.
the only times you might want to shoot down a ufo are infiltration and
terror missions over the rich [and therefore big funding] countries.
