8.1.6 Standard Loadout

Everybody plays differently, so everyone's loadout will be
different. Here are some suggested loadout though...

Regular trooper: best armor, best rifle, at least 2 reloads (4 if
possible), 3-5 grenades, medikit, any other equipment you like

Scout: best armor (flying if possible), one to two pistols, each
with 3 reloads, multiple grenades, medikit, motion detector
and/or mind probe

Heavy Weapons: best armor, rifle or pistol with 3 or more
reloads, heavy weapon in hand, loaded, with at least 3 reloads in
backpack, preferably more, some grenades and medikit. As these
guys do a LOT of damage, make sure they are psi-resistant! (i.e.
high psi-strength, high bravery, and high morale)

If you use designated medics, load him like a regular trooper
except he carries TWO medikits. You'll need one medic every three
to four soldiers. Then no one else will need medikits.

you can also see how much is the soldier's stregnth in the graphs, which BTW you can also get when you put stuff on him. so you can easilly see if he will still loose any TU or not. i think you can get the screen by some right clicking or something. bah... some expert form this forum will help you better on this one. haven't played it for a while
