Either can be useful, especially on a low will unit as a way to break panic-chains before they start. Also worth noting is that being able to heal 2 extra HP on a soldier you need to keep alive (MEC trooper, Volunteer, any Psi if More Than Human is on) is a significant boost to Medkit efficiency.

			Side note: Need to check if MEC with Defender's Medal gets +2HP when healed by Arc Thrower.

			==Sandbox: Medal Effect choices==

			'''Urban Combat Badge'''

			This is a pretty one-sided choice. Defense bonuses apply against all units shooting at you, and you should generally be in cover anyways. The aim bonus, on the other hand, requires an enemy to be in Full Cover to apply; you generally shouldn't be shooting at enemies in full cover to begin with.

			*'''Defender's Medal '''

			This choice is pretty even. Either can be useful, especially on a low will unit as a way to break panic-chains.

			*'''International Service Cross '''

			This is kind of a mixed bag; what choice you make will depend on how varied the soldiers in XCOM are, and how many continents you're able to get the bonus for.

			*'''Council Medal of Honor '''

			Both upgrades are a bit spotty. On one hand, you need to avoid soldier deaths to truly take advantage of the second option. On the other, your units should generally not be 7 or more tiles away from an allied soldier in what is a squad-combat game, especially given EW adds an alien whose entire modus operandi is to hunt down and murder unsupported units. (However, shotgunner supports and MECs may be an exception to this. Squadsight snipers don't benefit as much because +10 aim doesn't matter as much with their already high aim, and Squadsight negates the crit chance bonus unless you're going to use Headshot.)

			*'''Star of Terra'''

			Either are useful, but by the time you do base defense, how many soldiers are you going to have below Captain? Even if you're playing Progeny, all three Furies join at Lieutenant, and Durand joins at Sergeant, and you should be able to level them quickly simply by letting them kill-steal the tough, high XP aliens that abound at that point in the game.

			Just my thoughts; anyone have any tweaks or suggestions to add? [[User:Arrow Quivershaft\|Arrow Quivershaft]] 18:09, 6 December 2013 (EST)
