Every time my soldier dies, the next soldier I switch to in my squad is random, and I sometimes get placed with a soldier that will die the instant i switch to it. How can I make sure the next soldier i switch to is the soldier right under the current soldier that died (if Soldier#1 on the top dies, I want to switch to Soldier#2 right at the bottom of Soldier#1)?
You could change their order in menu but they will die the same way
You can order them to stay back but they have attachment issues so will try to path through artillery and die anyway
You could also change squad formation - to far away, so maybe some bot is behind cover and survives
You can bind quick-change of squad member to some mouse button, it doesn’t change at random, it goes in order but skips soldiers that are downed. Use this with combination of ordering (x) to some cover not far away for best effects
They will die anyway though
Thanks for the information. Sometimes, if my first soldier dies, it skips the second soldier and goes straight to the third soldier. Perhaps the distance of the soldiers to the first soldier matters? Does it switch to the nearest soldier instead of the next soldier?
