You should be able to predefine three different default soldier slot assignments in the DropShip menu. It would be very good if you could also determine in advance in which direction the soldiers are looking.
Background: The list shown here is the variant I use the most. The soldiers in positions numbered 7 and 9 should face directly out of the door closest to them and not have to be made to look after landing. Soldiers numbered 1 and 3 should face 45 degrees to the top left and bottom right, respectively. I would like the rest of the soldiers to look like they are currently shown.
It would also be very useful if you can see the characteristics of the soldiers here. What interests me the most here are the existing time units (TUs), but it certainly wouldn't hurt if the other values, hit accuracy, strength.... were also listed. - The characteristics of the soldiers decide for me the location where they should start on each battlefield.
A classification by type of weapon is out of the question for me, because I always give the soldiers the same weapons and equipment. Only the armor, the number of additional magazines and grenades vary with me.
