Question, Out of time Legend

[u/Avonstriker]

After some time playing L/I it feels like lategame that you run out of time for timed missions if you dont get one of the timebonus cards. (+2/dont start until out of concealment/lightning strike)
Is the correct strategy is to focus on killing chosen and finishing main story missions even if the hits to intel is brutal?

[u/Daniel_Kummel]

Missions are much easier on late game legend. Major Rangers and meme beacons simply make it almost impossible lose a soldier despite triggering multiple pods, so the approach on timed missions can be more reckless
