I’ve never been comfortable with the “pre-set” functionality for load-outs. What would be more helpful is if a core load out is kept on a reserve troop, make that gear available for selection in active squads, and you can make the decision on an individual item basis. I would recommend this only for items equipped on non-active / reserve troops, but perhaps it should be for all gear on active troops as well? i would also recommend that the player be able to see that piece of gear is readily available by the digital quartermaster versus items already equipped on reserve troops, so you know that an item is being removed from a reserve troop.
Thank you for your consideration.
