[Opinion] Would you find a mercenary / follower addon useful for Militaryish RP?

[DarkAura]

So over the past year (With a couple months break) I have been working on an addon for Recruitable mercenaries. The idea is that there is a shop entity you can visit to purchase said mercenaries. The base two of the mercenaries out of 3 I have made right now is that they will follow around the person who recruited them, and protect them at all costs, most hostile NPCs will attack the mercenary over the player first, but it really depends on the regular AI attack pattern. The 3 mercenary types I have as of now:

Rebel / Normal:
This mercenary has regular HL2 rebel models, 150 HP, and fast speed. They use the AR2 rifle, and have the ability to attack other players if requested. (When a player hits you, you can forgive them or not, if not, they better prepare to die or fight.)

Heavy / Tank:
This mercenary has HL2 Combine guard models, 250 HP, medium speed, and they also use the AR2 rifle. These mercenaries function the same way, they are more tanky, good for personal assistance in close quarters.

Swat / Sentry:
This mercenary uses the HL2 Swat model, 250 HP, and will follow the player at a medium speed, once the player has the mercenary in a position they like, they can press E on it to have it stand there and protect the spot. Once placed, they cannot be moved. They do not attack players at all, and are more for use of PVE gamemodes. Instead of the AR2, they use the Hl2 shotgun.

There are also heathpacks in the shop you can buy for your mercenary to heal them every so often.

The main use for these would be for Miltary RP, SWRP, or any other themed military RP, however, they could also be used in DarkRP for the richer players to have protection, offering them an actual upgrade over lower class players. There are many bugs to be worked on, but everything I listed above is implemented in a working way.
If you have any suggestions for features, criticisms, thoughts or anything please leave them down below.

Wouldn't be good for MilitaryRP but I could see this being useful on Dark RP servers.

P.S I haven't seen this done before so I'm not sure how it would work.

Yeah, I tried to make everything as unique as possible, I saw so many things on the Gmod store are just repeat addons of the same types of thing over and over again, and wanted to make something different, it has actually turned out pretty well as of now, and continues to grow. I do plan to implement different comparability for things like squads, interaction, and such, but that is a little ways down the road.
