“Academy” function is really weird since this is a fast paced game.
First, it’s hard to remember each soldier’s name, but academy only show his name and main weapon.
But you do not know whom you have selected. Especially, if that soldier has good perks, it would be a total loss if you mischoose him and he would be gone.
Also, I think in current Academy, you will lose soldiers’ all equipments and does not give back to you after you send them to academy. I think I have lost some medkit/grenades after I forget to remove someone’s equipments before sending them to academy. Medkit and grenade is a shortage here. Even less than main weapons…
It would be nice if you can see the chosen soldier (render them) and their equipments/inventory.
PS: current soldiers’ icon is not match to how he looks…
PS2: current soldier management system is still so unpolished.
You do get back all things the soldier has equipped when you send them to the academy, even the knife/melee weapon. Also, the soldiers in the academy are split up into reserve and active soldiers. You shouldn’t be sending active soldiers to the academy in the first place unless you want to handicap yourself with no squadmates.
Sending active soldiers may cause bugs. I accidentally did one. Maybe that cause my stuff missed.
When you reach full reserve slot, you will mess up every things. You have no idea who you send to academy.
Now, I made a txt on my desktop to record who is safe to send to academy. But game should not made things so messy.
Не стоит сильно привязываться к отдельным бойцам.
Что бы не терять предметы у солдата, отправляемого в академию, стоит перед этим всё у него забрать, это легко сделать через меню выбора бойцов.
Я согласен, что жаль терять персонажа с отличными перками, которые могут больше не выпасть при следующей прокачке, это действительно проблема.

Don’t get too attached to individual fighters.
In order not to lose items from a soldier sent to the Academy, it is necessary to take everything from him before this, this is easy to do through the menu of choosing fighters.
I agree that it’s a pity to lose a character with great perks that may no longer fall out the next time you level up, this is really a problem.
Свободные для отправки в академию солдаты находятся в самой верхней строчке - это те солдаты, которые не состоят в составе отряда.
Для простоты ориентирования, просто переносите прокаченных солдат в резерв, не забудьте забрать у них всё самое ценное, и набирайте академию из самой верхней строчки.

The soldiers who are available to be sent to the Academy are in the top row - these are the soldiers who are not part of the squad.
For ease of orientation, just transfer the upgraded soldiers to the reserve, do not forget to take all the most valuable things from them, and recruit the Academy from the top line.
Why is it important for you to remember their names?
Does it matter who you send to the Academy?
In the end, you are dealing with a new character, more experienced, it is nothing more than a model.
A level 3 soldier can only have a max of 3 perks. A level 4 soldier can have 4 perks. Sure, those 4 perks might be worse (150% pose change speed for example) than the 3 perks (+100% ammo), that’s a risk you take. But a level 4 soldier with 4 good perks will be better
I fully agree, the academy is currently poorly arranged. Creating a better soldier level takes an awful long time, if this academy stays, it would be good for each group to be able to produce separately. Example Bomber, Assaulter. In the current version, you cannot create a level on multiple groups.
You can put in soldiers from diffrent classes.
Put in one assaulter, then 2 riflemen. You get an assaulter in return as it was the first one put in.
Imo that is better than being class locked but capable of training multiple at a time
Note that they can train while you are offline, so just make sure to throw in a couple soldiers before logging off.
