Specialists in R&D, which ones can be dismissed?

[LobVapor]

All my soldiers in R&D are high grade (S/S+), execpt for the old specialists.

Anyone know which of the following specialists can safely be dismissed, if any, with no consequences for future development?

R&D:

1. Materials Engineer: enable development of battle dress uniform and others. I've only developed battle-dress grade 8, does that mean I still need him?


2. Bionics Specialist: enable development of prosthetic arms. Why keep this one?


3. Sleeping Gas Specialist: development of LLG-MINE support weapon and other equipment. I've developed the highest sleep-mine available, so I can dismiss this one?


4. Video Surveilance Specialist: Survelliance-CAM security device and others. I have 2 cameras, can I develope the 3rd one without this specialist?


5. Anestheisa Specialist: enable tranqulizer round conversion for handguns. Why keep this one?


6. Noise Suppression Specialist: built-in suppressor conversions for handguns. Why keep this one?


Thanks.

simply dismiss everybody you don't need at the moment. any of them can be re-extracted in a couple of minutes.

also, occasionally, you can get some modded staff from cheaters https://i.imgur.com/FqigOUo.jpg

None of them or all of them. Depends on your perspective. If you have developed everything that they unlock, dismissing them is okay because they offer no benefit. However, if you don't care about developing everything then you can dismiss them any time you want. If you do decide to dismiss them and change your mind, you can always do the mission that you them and get them again. So really, you can dismiss them all or none of them at all. Up to you.

Me personally, There's more than enough S++ to make up for their shortcomings if you have 4 fully developed FOBs that it doesn't make sense to get rid of them.

Most of them can be extracted at S rank in their unit, too. Only one I seem to really have an issue with is the 'Drug Developer' Can't seem to get one higher than 'B' grade in medical unit. Medals can also increase their stats.

Once you've developed everything you need their ability for, just fire them if their stats suck. No reason to keep em once they've done their job on R&D.
