In the equip-screen, when selecting a weapon,
it would be useful to highlight the attributes
of the soldier that are important to this weapon:

E.g.:
Flamethrower --> Heavy Weapons,
RocketLaucher --> Explosives + Accuracy
etc.

Maybe also color-code this highlight, e.g.
value<40: red
value<70: yellow
otherwise green

This would make it easier to make sensible
decisions about choosing who gets what weapon.

It would also be nice to highlight (one item each of) matching ammo
when holding a weapon with the mouse, as well as highlighting the
matching weapons when holding some ammo.

In the equipment-screen, auto-switching to "object-info"
when holding an object and back to actor-info after dropping it
would be useful.
