Add a health bar status for bots

health_bar

If the soldier has 100 % health - the bar is green.

If 70- 100 % health - yellow.

If 40- 70 % health - orange.

If below 40 % - the bar is red.

Why is it important ? Because sometimes the player is focused on shooting and orders the bots to stay in cover. But - they are slow and stupid and in few seconds they all can get killed.

Of course - the attentive player will see the skulls, but usually it is just too late to save the squad.

Besides - the player (as an officer / squad leader) should know the health of their soldiers.

they should really add this in, along with a system that makes the soldier dirtier and bloodier the lower his health is

It was in closed beta. There were stripes, different colors of icons. And it didn’t catch on.

Must admit, i liked it, due to could just swap to that toon, health him up etc

I like the idea; however, a simpler bar that goes up and down would be much better. Many people are “red/green” colorblind. I can’t remember the exact number, but it’s fairly high. I wish game developers would take this into consideration during development.

I can only see a difference of the colours proposed in the screenshot, when I am concentrating myself on it for a while. So yes you are right, a simple bar would be better instead of coloroptions.

This is so dumb that is hard to read. The next step will be removing the grass and blood, because 5- 10 % of people does not see the difference.
