Medic Kit Limitations

[Phixion]

Simply put, the new limitations on kits are killing this game for me and my friends.

I play with a group of friends and even though we have 6+ people with the game we often struggle to get the 4 required to get a Medic in our squad.

We have all come to the same conclusion and given up trying to play if we don't have at least 4 people, so that we can get the kits required to be competitive in this game.

This is one occasion where the argument of REALISM > * just doesn't fly, as said in another thread (which I failed to find) the number of medics per squad just isn't realistic in this game, so for the sake of playability please lower the number of people required to request a Medic kit!

Cheers

shouldnt this be in the suggestion section?

Most players are pretty nice and if you ask in team chat for a 4th person to get the kit, somebody will usually join your squad to help out.

The thing is, what has been gained by limiting it to 4 people? Asking people to join your squad so you can request a kit is a pain. I can see this working with other kits, but the Medic Kit is a requirement in ANY squad, regardless of the number of people in it.

I may be alone here, but I really didn't see the issue with the 2 people requirement for the Medic Kit.

3 was better option for medic...

[darkside12]

I agree that 4 is a ridiculous number, because I love being the medic and having the lives of my squad in my hands. But you should've posted this in the suggestions to get it noticed better.

[Psyrus]

I disagree, I like the move to focus on full and cohesive squads. This works especially well in skirmish scenarios, where previously you could have 5 medics on a team of 10, it is now lowered to 2 medics for that two squads... much less revive spam

Plus it forces people to squad up and get out of their '2-3 person' comfort zone

[AgentMongoose]

Oh god you mean you might have to play with a pub or two in your squad?!? Say it isn't so! Grow up. 4 though a little high it's fine.

[Rudd]

I prefer 3 for the simple reason that squads that get created half way through the game by new players are often left medicless for along time.

Leave it at 4!

Think about it... while 3 people are stealthier/easier to control as a SL, when you have 4 or more people you get too much micromanagement as SL... which means you will almost inevitably get someone hit... While 3 people is much easier to look around.

In the end, the SL has 3 field dressings. Enough for you to walk back to a resupply area or call in air supply/evac

Also the fast medic healing balances the need for 4 people
