Medics can heal friendly infantry in and out of combat.
Saxon Medics are advanced infantry units fielded by the Saxony Empire. They can fully heal infantry units and even provide reinforce points.
The medics of all factions are functionally identical.
General Description[]
War always bring casualties, but the Great War and the advent of many new and dreadfully effective weapons such as machine guns and mechs saw untold levels of human death and injury. Wherever they were available, these angels of mercy were rarely without work. Kitted out as full surgeons, they wear a slimmer uniform in a deeper blue than those of Stormtroopers. In addition to their leather flak padding they wear a white apron, face-mask, black rubber gloves, a pouch of medical supplies, and their right sleeve is marked with a green cross on a white band. They also wear tools like a bone saw on their belt.
Medics are invaluable wherever the infantry are going to be in combat. They can heal infantry so long as the targeted units are not under fire. Once they have gained enough experience, they can establish an aid station at any desired location, providing frontline units a place to retreat to and reinforce rather than having to run all the way back to base.
They are not proficient soldiers, however. Their pistols provide some defense but not much, and being infantry they are particularly vulnerable to machine guns and mechs, which they can largely outrun but they cannot outrun standard infantry like Vanguards. Thus, they should be used sparingly and be kept well protected behind dedicated combat units.
In the latest version, medics can no longer be trained from Polanian or Rusviet barracks. Only the Saxony Empire can train medics, but players can still transform any infantry by salvaging equipment from a killed medic or loot from a weapon crate.

Cons[]
- Hopeless in combat even against standard infantry
- Slower than standard infantry
- Aid station ability is locked behind veterancy and consumes the unit
- Cannot reinforce lost units themselves
- Healing costs resources and takes time
Weapons[]
Like Engineers, medics are armed only with light handguns which have poor range and damage.
Abilities[]
- Heal
- Aid Station
Trivia[]
Like Engineers, Medics seem to carry Mauser C96 semi-automatic pistols (specifically the M1916 Prussian "Red 9" model) firing the powerful 9x19mm Mauser cartridge. The pistol was immensely popular and advanced for its time.
