Hey, thats an ingenious little system their. I like it! Makes "Infantry Units" have some flesh to them (abstractly though). With something like this you can design entire Infantry Divisions with different types of personel and equipment (2 components of infanty, a single unit of artilary, with 1 unit of tank armor).

Are we talking about Starcraft + XCom or SEIV?

does cloaking infantry actually do anything?

Cloaking infantry does nothing. They are always either in a ship (and require only a long-range scanner to see), or in combat.

What you probably want is a big ECM type bonus.

Troops cannot repair. They are either destroyed, or the partial damage is forgotten.
