one would say that having a fhqs with amazing (aura) healing weapon, 5 man infantry with (dubble) wapon upgrades would be stronger then having 6 man squad with NO (AURA) heals NO weaponupgrades NO fhq.
btw im sorry but if u let a sovjet have 'above average map presence' while he has to go to base for shitty heals you serious need to improve your play. 3 ladies healing 6 man models on so many squads is so time consuming.
specially when your models drop like flies because as said they are 6 man
This gets even worse when you play team games and your ally decides to take your heals instead of getting their own.
