I assumed the stats of the characters were based on their rank and their specialization but I've begun to notice that experienced soldiers acquired as rewards from missions are much better than soldiers recruited "off the street".
Especially in their Will stat.
I've slowly begun phasing out a lot of more experienced recruits for the sniper, assault and support I received as mission rewards. They started at Captain but all had Will ratings in the 90's, where most of my Colonels even had Will ratings in the 70's.
My assault recruit even had psionic potential.
Just making sure others were aware of this, because I tended to shrug and gloss over missions that offered a soldier and go for other things, often money, which I always seem to need more of.
