New encumbrance/TU system
Sarin:
Around 50 missions total. Because my soldiers were often injured, I purposely shot down many UFOs over water to give them time to recuperate. I was running with 12 troops from the start, 4 were backup that was assigned to team when a soldier from main team was too heavily injured to participate in mission that I couldn't avoid.
Still, those 50 missions are quite a load for single soldier. Most of the main team already reached stage where mind stat is limiting their promotion, not kills, and everyone got between 40-50 mind now.

It took me abt 50 missions to get power armour in the campaign at the hardest level, without dedicated research bases or such particular effort. Hm or maybe it was second hardest level? Not so sure. Can I see my difficulty level choice somewhere?
H-Hour:
Interesting. I swap out wounded and try to knock down every UFO I can over land. I've done 65 missions and I'm still about two months from even seeing heavily armoured aliens (probably three months from fielding power armour). By the time I get there, I could be nearing twice as many missions as you.
My most active soldier has seen 47 missions at this stage, so nearly 3/4. I've got 7 soldiers at 20-40 missions, another 4 or so around 10-25 missions, and another 7 at 0-10. I've lost probably 15-20 soldiers in the campaign, but maybe only 5 who had real experience. I only save-scummed once, to rescue my favourite sniper.
kurja:
currently I have >70 missions and my by far most experienced soldier has less than 50 - most guys have 15 or less. Casualties are heavy in this war :'(
Interestingly my most senior soldier has the rank of sergeant. You'd think an army would need a couple officers. Does rank yet mean anything, game mechanics-wise?

Rank once effected their monthly upkeep cost, but I think that was removed. I don't think there is any plan to have rank effect game mechanics.
