Well, first of all, I am a chronic reloader. I still let my mercs get shot to hell often, but also look for the coolest way through a situation. Here's what I've found about UC.

First and most importantly, people go down quicker. Be afraid of pistols, be afraid of rifles, be afraid of shotguns. The converse applies, in that all of the above are useful weapons. Some of the armor you can procure, however, makes mercs very difficult to kill without heavy weapons. They might still fall down out of breath, but that's what backup is for.

Cover is the most substantial difference my playstyle has adopted between standard JA2 and UC. An agile merc can peek over or around objects, fire, and duck back without being shot at, much less hit.

Also, as stated earlier, enemies will sometimes flank or otherwise appear in unexpected locations. Moving to get a good angle, having a rearguard, and the agility to manage interrupts will save you here.

Lastly, with a small squad I have found that certain fights cannot be won from certain locations. The subway is a perfect example of this, as you will find yourself ambushed with little opportunity to position beforehand. When in doubt, attack from a different direction.
