I think the game needs to show accumulated stun damage on soldiers

[Kamehamehayes]

I've been playing for awhile and I keep having my soldiers falling unconscious to gunfire, to smoke, to explosives, and to a lot of things. It's really annoying that sitting in smoke in the first couple turns of a mission and then falling unconscious near the end because I forgot how much stun damage they took at the beginning. I think there needs to be some sort of metric somewhere that shows each soldier's accumulated stun damage somewhere, because the amount of times my soldiers fell unconscious because I didn't know how much stun damage they took is significant imo.

Does stun damage not gradually 'heal' over time? That's at least what would make sense to me (if you're breathing fresh air again, smoke effects should fade)

Kamehamehayes, the Stun Damage for your Soldiers get shown. You know the HP-Information for your Specialists.

Normaly they reduce after getting hit or Bleeding. Stun works different. There an yellow Colour raise until the max HPs get reached. That get shown in the Pictures on the Top and on the Specialist itself.

asdfcyber, yes the Stun Damage for your Soldiers reduce (if they aren unconsicious) if you are not staying in Smoke and similar.

In prevouis Betas (before V.23 or V.24) we testet something out for your Specialits, but it seems to be canceld or if we all get lucky in Rework-Process.

Stun Damage is shown already, it’s the yellow line under the red HP bar.

And yes, stun damage does gradually heal over time. It’s like 5 Stun Damage per turn I think.

Does regular damage add stun damage? Would be a nice touch to see a soldier lose their conciousness taking hits in the armor. (Air out of lungs)

[Alienkiller]

I don´t know if the Devs have testet that out internaly. If yes, that won´t come in.

If you read the UFO-Pedia correct, then you know that you have enough to do to get your Specialists finish the Mission alive, esp. against the Alien-Weapons, beginning with the easyest from them.

Oh, I see. I didn't even notice that small yellow line under the hp bar. I think the line needs to be way thicker if I missed it so easily after 12 hours of play across campaigns imo. Maybe taking up the entire width of the hp bar? 

[Alienkiller]

Yep, it´s the yellow Bar, which lays over the red HP-Bar if Stun Damage comes up.

It orient on the red HP-Bar, means how hurt is the soldier (has he / she get some damage) or not. The lesser the HP-Bar the faster the Xenonaut falls unconsicious.

A unit falls unconscious when accumulated stun damage exceeds current HP, so effectively yes.

It could maybe be expanded upward a bit but I wouldn't want to make it full height, no. I feel like it's quite rare for a Xenonaut to get stunned so most of the time I think it'd be an annoyance.

Oh, then I interpredet something wrong. He meant the Smoke from Fire, Grenades and similar to Stun someone.

I thougt the Comrade mean something heavyer.

Does that also mean that if a unit is almost fully stunned and takes damage it will fall unconscious as well?

Yeah, provided you don't accidentally kill it in the process.
