Default Re: Troops: Infantry?

It's not that strange, something like this has been posted a few times.
My Version of infantry is based in some of my own ideas + some comments seen in this forums is:
1 kt and 2 kt vehicle sizes as Light and Heavy Infantry. You can add in the description that they are an infantry platoon and not a single trooper.
The neostandard picture names for infantry are "racename_portrait_TroopInfantry" and "racename_mini_TroopInfantry", and first alternatives to copy from are race_portrait and pop_portrait, being troopsmall the second choice.
They do not require bridge or anything (the environmental suit is built-in, and a trooper does not need to carry a cockpit in his backpack).
And make a 1/3 size weapon mount for troop weapons describing them as rifle/bazooka sized Versions. I had thought about a specific rifle component before, but the weapon mount allows more variation in weapons without the need to make a lot of new components.

Needing pop to recruit would be a nice touch but it's not possible with mods.
Some others had chosen to make it a little bigger and make it require a life support (to represent the environmental suit) or make a cockpit with a boult in weapon.
