It might help, but Elite Heavy Gunners could quite readily replace ERM as spam units.

L11 gives 1100 points available for upgrades. From what I've seen that may be enough for +25 Range, +50% fire rate (on top of the +30% they get for being elite), faster movement, immune to mines, reduced damage, reduced damage from turrets, immune to freeze...

So long as it doesn't take thorium to repair them if it takes thorium to upgrade them, that will be a vicious spam unit.
