He left such a massive impression on me that I completely forgot he existed at all.....
Rank 2 soviet player uses him
Mostly for stand your ground on flamer engineers it seems
But would New healing really have a big impact on the resource mathematics of allied factions?
I think they would be supplmentary, it would be very tough to skip medics unless these abilities came earlier than 2-3 cps.
Especially when as we see, the manpower costs for soviets are quite steep as the game progresses through tech. Usually I am more concerned about manpower than fuel for producing a light vehicle or tank on time as you are spending ~240 manpower on each building and then buying the unit itself. from t2 to t34 its like 790 manpower.
