People need to support

[pasfreak]

okay, this is not an off-shoot of the un nerf medic thread, i'm not suggesting making medic leet

is there any way to make medic or engie more prominent in the field with support actions?

I played for two and a half hours a little while ago and of the 20 something times i died i was not revived once.

i saw two apc's and a tank start smoking, then catch fire, then blow up, requesting engie support but no one would help them out.

i revived about 3 or 4 people.

on average, there was like .15 medics in my squad. the only thing the engie's did was sit at the uav trailer and commander assets and keep them from self destructing.

it was terrible

I agree, I dont think i've been revived since .5
dont think this belongs in this forum though, the devs can't exactly do anything about this. might want to move to gen. discuss

We tryed getting this problem fix with the sedgestion of adding a scope or zoom to the medic kit it whould get people to go medic and heal and revived but people attacked it saying it did not need a scope or zoom so nothing in the end came about so the problem remains.

I Would Agree but:

Yes, to build Bunkers.. which are useful.. becuase you can spawn on them, since APCs are getting there spawnpoints removed in 0.7, looking after assets is much more required if there down or damaged.

Anyway, I've seen Engies repair.. but the main problem is that the Tanks/APCs expect the Engies to rush to them in any position.. i've seen some requested engineer on ejod when there on the Hills.

In my Opinion, it depends on whos playing it.. I usually go Engineer if Medic is not needed and built commander assets... but i aint going to risk my life running over to a tank in the middle of Ejod just lazily sitting there. What i'm trying to say is that the Real Problem is people using the APC/tanks that don't get that retreating is a GOOD idea

Why the spawn points on APC'are getting removed?
And i do agree on giving mmedics a scope.

Personally.. I think the scope sucks balls. I only play Engie because of the rifleman scope and the lack of anything the Medic kit offers.

I mean unless you are fighting on kashan from one bunker roof to the other the scope just becomes annoying because of the 4x zoom.

-Due people using APCs as spawn points, leaving them in a ditch to hop out every time, they die

-people constantly spawning on the APC while he's driving, wanting out, then curse at the driver, when he drives off as they just selected Sniper kit from the back door. Other words, using the APC as if it was their personal armory to choose Marksman/Sniper, every time they die.

-people spawning on driver seat and making IFV dance and other APCs get the no turret gun ammo bug, rendering the APC useless.

-the name of the vehicle is Armored Personnel Carrier, not Armored Spawn Vehicle

And so on...

I like the zoom, because due my graphics I always have to figure out, which pixel is shooting at me.

You just ned to get in a REALLY good squad. Last night was revived at least half, possibly 3/4 of the time. We also single handedly (dont know if thats a real word) defended east beach on jabal for over half of the round, with almost no fatalities (dont know if thats a real word either).

It is all about the players. Before you join the squad look carefully what they are doing. If most of squad members are close to each other then join the squad. If most of squad members are spread all over the map then don't join the squad (don't expect teamwork from them).
