Are they a seperate unit? Or it's one of those units I attach to another unit for bonuses?

Medium tanks are a separate unit. They are the main armored unit in the game. The advanced(last) light tank model and all heavy armor models are brigades that attach to other divisions. Improved light tanks will upgrade to med tanks.
Ok thank you. Heavy Tanks worth research? In WII their weren't a big factor, because they were produced in very small numbers, but maybe it's diffrent here =P
They were a major factor. Not by deployed numbers, thats not impressive, but because of their flexibility and ability to exploit weaknesses. See the battle of Białystok-Minsk for a nice example.
In game they are worth it for nations with acess to oil and a strong industrial base. So Germany, UK, USA will have them, Soviets could go easily without and Japan in most cases should not use them at all.

You've gotta miss HoI1 a little bit sometimes - back when you could mass produce entire armies of super-heavy tanks. I sometimes wondered how those transports could stay afloat with an entire division of Maus tanks and accompanying brigade of Jagdtigers onboard. 
It is true that all heavy armor models are brigades, but the last heavy armor tech activates the last model of medium armor.sbr said:
Just so that you don´t miss out on it.
Yeah, heavy tank research eventually leads to nifty new main battle tanks for Russian killing fun in the 50's.
