Exactly the reason why I always included a few autocannons and 2 rockets launchers early on. And made the switch to laser rifles as soon as possible.
The hardest point for me was always when heavy psi powers started being used + the first appearance of Chryssalids and those terrible disks. Though now that you mention sectopod, those were indeed really tough as well.
