Show Weight of Selected Gear in Equip Screen

As per the title. Basic and helpful improvement of that interface.

go to Options --> Advanced --> scroll down a bit and select "Inventory Stats"

current and maximum weight carried, even changes to red when encumbered. plus some important soldier stats, too, so you don't give those important weapons to soldiers who can't hit the broad side of a barn

I don't think my suggestion was understood; I realize that option exists, but there is no option that displays the weight of a selected item so you can at a glance determine whether or not it'll put a soldier over its encumbrance limit in conjunction with the current/max weight stats.

Oh, now I get it. Hmmm... do you really think it would be faster to see the weight of the item? You still have to click the item, and then you have to deal with three numbers: the weight of the currently equipped stuff, the weight of the selected weapon and the maximum weight, only to calculate if A+B>C.
It's probably faster to just equip the item and see if the number turns red.

[Surrealistik]

Yes.

Basic mental addition is much faster for me than equipping and unequipping (see instantaneous).

Better yet, there could be a 'projected' encumbrance beside the current encumbrance when you select an item.
