How too see unit's Speed stat before buying?
Hello I just came back to this game after months after, I remember I think seeing a unit's speed stat before I buy them just by hovering the UI but now I dont seem to see it anymore unless I already physically bought the unit on my field?

I mean we all know speed is important stat to know in this game, I dont want to just memorize or refer to an external site/tool to check every time until I get very familiar with the game again.

They should really focus on improving the UI to be more informative when buying/selecting new units. Just have a pop up listing all the relevant info when howering over the buy menu.

Things that player should be able to see:
1.Range
2.Damage (preferrably with [number] X to indicate multiplicative for number of shots in burst or number of guns, such as with stormcallers or wraiths.
3.Firing delay
4.health
5.Speed
6.selected techs

Basically just list all the relevant info about the unit before player even buys them. There is literally no reason to hide or obscure the info from player. While some might argue memorising the stats is a form of skill, it is not desirable or necessary skill for the actual gameplay involved.

If it's not already on the UI then it's mostly just from memory. Realistically there is only about 3 different speeds, the 16s, the 10-12 air units and the 6-8 ground units. You can see it in real time after you bought the unit but totally unsure if it shows during purchase.

Agreed, I think it just makes the game tedious and does not respect the players' available time too. Since it seems the devs are designing the game to be more advantageous to those who have memorized or figured out the game's quirks by playing more in terms of time than that of others. Whereas a simple UI could address this or remove this tedium from the game.

you can during a match click the "minimize combat window" (the arrow on the top right corner) and look up the stats of a unit in the unit modification tab.
