Can we predict when we will lose control of a bot?

If we take control of an enemy bot, it would be great to reliably know or estimate when we will lose control. How does it work?

When the bot is selected, it will have the double red down-arrow indicating it's suffering a debuff, in this case "Hacked". If you hover your mouse over the double red down-arrow itself for a second or two, then a tooltip pops up at the side of the screen saying what the debuff is and for how long it lasts. Same for buffs (the double green up-arrow). It'll say something like "Hacked - XCOM has taken temporary control of this unit. Ends at the beginning of the aliens' turn. 2 turns remaining."

And similarly, you can get the selected soldier's stats (aim, will, etc) by hovering your mouse over the soldier's name for a second or two.

It's possible some of these only apply when you have the Perfect Information mod installed. If you don't, then, well, you should.

Ah, great answer. Thanks.
