Soviet Medics

This is an issue that has plagued the soviets for a long time and now that medics are being adjusted as a whole I think it's an opportunity to sneak this in.

Soviets have the fewest healing options, have the largest squads on average and lack any non doc aoe healing options. The only soviet healing comes from 3 base medics. This is insufficient for the faction that fields the largest model counts while simultaneously lacking supplemental healing.

My suggestion is simply to double the number of medics that the medic upgrade produces from 3 to 6. This will allow soviets to return their armies to the field at similar rates as other factions.
Alternatively double the healing speed of medics while keeping the number of medics at 3 but I feel this would unfairly benefit individual squads particularly in the early game.

I do not believe either of these proposed options warrants a corresponding nerf.

Add 1for each tech building that way early game blob isn't really possible but late game isn't ground to a halt if 2squads retreat at the same time.

Double healing, yes. Double medics, not so much

The fact that they have poor field healing options is sufficient. Retreating to base to heal is bad enough a drawback for it to actually work when there

Biggest problem I have is how often they run over to my allies base on some 2v2 maps. Would be great if we could reduce the range of their coverage so they arent walking around as much

Patch will standardize this range to 20. Dunno how much it is right now

Another big problem of Soviet medics is a bug with the impossibility of healing, when several units stand together they form a large group, medics cannot heal.

I'd just add an AOE heal to the base for more consistent healing with larger groups, but keep the medics too because I like them.

Slow aura heal but also the medics as now? That could work actually. Fixes all the problems really.... If your infantry gum up the medics that one gulag bound bastard in the middle will still heal. If the medics flock to your team mate your units will still heal, slowly but still. Maybe tie it to 2 buildings and the medic upgrade?
