research STILL not finished?[]

so, I notice that even now at the very end of the game, you STILL can't complete some research projects. You'd think they would have the research tree complete at the beginning of ch 18, but nope, and stil not even complete for the final battle.  seems poorly thought out imo.

...about the walkthrough:

"The Edelweiss's smokescreen should be used directly on Maximillian on every turn. Doing so will protect your tanks from direct beam attacks"

FAIL.  he shoots right through smoke and not only one shotted my tank, but the sniper 10 yards behind it as well.  But really, the key here is to slightly change your wording.  NEVER fire a smoke grenade DIRECTLY on an enemy.  if you fire a few yards in front of him, it works fine.  Ill make the edit.

also disagree on the use of scouts.  Again, awakened Alicia is unfrigginstoppable.  If she has the 8g or 9g from the DLC packs, she can take down maxy single handed, though for speedy results... smokebomb near him, surround him with a couple or 3 of your best troopers, then have alicia headshot him from behind.  ALL your troopers will pile on when she starts shooting.  his health will go down to a sliver, and she will of course, evade his return fire.

then, if he isn't dead and spawns the second part of the fight, she still has plenty of cp to run up and headshot him the rest of the way.  If she gets injured she'll likely autoheal, or go valk.  either way, it's a win.

alternatively, after he powers up for the second part of the fight, use a mortar shot to clear the smoke away, then headshot him with your sniper.

R&D finishes the millisecond you start a new game from the completed data (this is also required for at least 2 non-R&D related medals).

As for the smokescreen strat, once again it seems to be another totally broken Alicia strategy (Every single Non-DLC mission excluding the Lure Marmota, Kill Batomys, Kill Lupus Regnum, Kill Valkof and Bruhl Hard can be beaten almost exclusively with just Alicia and Welkin (for his orders most often)).
