At present, you cannot view soldiers abilities or weaponry while choosing soldier for academy training. The only way to view them is go back to the unit and look at them. You really want to look and evaluate them to see if that soldier is one you want to promote. If they are in reserve, you have go back to a unit, remove a soldier and then place the reserve soldier in the unit so you can see and evaluate him.
I suggest that when you are in the academy, you can click on a soldier so you can see him and his abilities and weaponry just like when you click on him when he is in a unit. This will remove the need to go back and forth and look at soldiers you might or might not want to promote. This will streamline the game, making it more fun and playable.
Also, if you train them without removing the gear you ill loose all the weapons / nades /medpacks from that soldiers
Found this after loosing some mp40s full nades and medpacks… but they might drop on a case ehh…
But, if you send a soldier back (deleat it) you keep all the weapons and gear.
I find it odd to have to look at all my squads to find 3 players i cant rename to remove all the gear befor i train them.
Since I havn’t promoted any soldiers with upgraded weapons, I don’t know if they are lost or not. The upgrades are not easy to get so I would hate to loose them. If they are lost, then they need to be returned to the promoted soldier. Of course, he would be able to use a higher level weapon after promotion, so his upgraded weapon could be disassembled for parts or passed on to another eligible soldier. This area needs clarification.
Yeah it has been bugging me for a while to see who has good traits so I keep him & evolve the others, what would be good is to also see to which infantry regiment he belongs to.
Although this might not belong here but having a system were you could set sort of loadouts to equip your soldiers with, say the nades & other stuff when you have them.
