You can move on a bit without dwelling too much on optimizing your characters, not that skipping it is going to also make everything significantly harder anyway. VC1 reminds me so much Hogs of War.
Anyway, in short; it isn't necessary, but if you want to be obsessed with it, then go compulsive up on your arse. Might end up sucking all of your free time though.
In contradiction, I'd say that you should still learn more about your soldiers though, because it makes everything easier imo. It's kind of like pairing GULL with LOTUS, etc, etc, and knowing the result of something like, adding another generator slot and equipping a KUJAKU with ORCHID, or two better yet ORCHIDs.
