Something else the Tau should get is an engineer drone or something that can fix the vehicles. I've had way too many times where an IG player flew a Valkyrie over to me during an Apocalypse match and blew off my Hammerhead's railgun, with no way to get that tank's points value into the battle without using a Seeker Missile.

So yes, the Tau have Medics, but they're not fieldable.

Judging by the current trend of buffs given by medic models in squads, it would be more likely to give FNP than a stat boost.

Yeah I can imagine earth caste medical drones operating on the field, with a more serious field hospital away from the main lines of battle, operated by earth caste (they are workers, not warriors in a manner of speaking).
