Tactical Advice
Infantry are mid-range damage dealers. They can fire twice per turn if they don't move, which makes them excel at eliminating enemies by attrition, laying down withering amounts of fire. If you want a more mobile soldier who's designed for mobility and getting flanks, look to the Assault class. Infantrymen's ability to fire twice per turn makes them arguably better than Snipers at direct damage.
Infantry have decent aim progression and at least one talent at each rank that improves their proficiency with their primary weapon. They also have a selection of defensive abilities available at each rank. Finally, Infantrymen have a powerful perk combination to improve overwatch in Covering Fire, Opportunist and Sentinel.
