The fact you have to consider thigns siuch as these is further proof of how badly the economy is designed we don’t even get info about the max and minimum perk rolls on soldiers by the game, it;s just horrible.
If you need a Soldier… lets say MG-Guy
always take the MG2 Guy! because till you get the Good MG-Guy with good STarter Perks.
You will need mostly 3-4 Silver Orders.
After choosing the Right One, you send the Rest to Recycling.
For a Star2 Class1 Guy, you get 3Bronze back.
If you invest the same 1 Silver Order for 1 Class2 Soldiers with 2Stars you will get 5!
This multipliziert and get higher, with higher Random Star-Soldiers.
