Soldiers with high TUs benefit the most from fixed TU actions. I.e., they represent the speed of solder's physical actions.<br>

	Actions that cost a percentage, such as firing a gun or priming a grenade, will always take a percentage of the soldier's base Time Units to perform. This means that the soldier's base TUs has no bearing on how many times the action can be performed during any given turn.		Actions that cost a percentage, such as firing a gun or priming a grenade, will always take a percentage of the soldier's base Time Units to perform. It represents the speed of devices used, a specific amount of time independent of the solder's physical abilities. This means that the soldier's base TUs has no bearing on how many times the action can be performed during any given turn.

	For example, if a weapon costs 25% to fire, it can only be fired a maximum of 4 times a turn, for every soldier, regardless of his/her amount of TUs. Because of this, it's smart to put low-TU soldiers in long range fire support roles.

	'''Note''': Costs are based on the ''maximum'' amount of your soldier's TUs, not the current amount. Therefore, percentage costs do not change as you use up TUs (or if you have more TUs than usual, due to going [[berserk]]).

For example, a soldier firing a [[Heavy Plasma]] with auto-fire (35% TUs) will get 3 rounds at some rare MaxTUs values (only at 51, 54, and 57) but not at any others. More often seen, a [[Laser Rifle]]'s 34% is more likely to allow this "bonus shot".
