Red negative mobility?

[talino7]

Most of my soldiers have a -2 mobility in Red even when not injured. what is causing this to happen.

Gear.

Every item you bring, grenades, ammo, medkit, etc., will lower mobility by one. The SMG gives a +3 mobility boost (but smaller magazine and lower damage than classic rifle).

As your troops rank up, their stats increase, which aids mobility. Which stats and how often depends on class.

Always use the Commander's Choice option. When a rookie is ready to rank up to squaddie, check their stats first before assigning class. You don't want an assault or shinobi with crappy mobility.

Build up a reserve store of PCS. Some of these can boost mobility significantly.

Ranking up will not improve mobility. Aim, will, and hit points, yes; but not mobility.

Mobility PCS are always a good option.

Commander's Choice is a hack :P (but seriously, it's a mod, not a game option). If you've got someone you want to be a specific class, train them in GTS. Otherwise roll the dice. You can semi-control random promotions based on how many you have of each class (if you have 3 assaults but 5 of everything else, you'll likely get an assault from the random promotion). A slow shinobi or assault isn't ideal, but they can work; you may just need to build them differently.

It's been 3 weeks, I hope talino is still playing their campaign.

I have seen mobility improve, but on the other hand, I usually run a dozen or more mods. So, my troopers may progress differently from the norm.

Ugh; went back and checked. Mobility increases were due to a number of things, mostly gear and PCS related, and not stat change. My bad.
