[Gameplay] Medics and healing dynamics

[hx.bjoffe]

^Bah, people never confirm kills anyway

while we are at medic improvement anyway, would it be possible to simulate the medics extra training in the form of being able to indentify and fix the obvious injuries faster (bandages deploy time reduced) this would also help the frustration of being stuck by a corpse being covered by you squad while you have to wait for the field dressing to be deployed.

the way i see it, it helps the medic doing his job in combat situations and it seems more realistic that a medic with more medical training should be able to locate the injury and fix it faster and more efficiently than a normal grunt.

but great job devs, it really helps us medics but i just thought that i would add my two cents on medic improvements.

How will the respawn change effect kit reallocation? Will your kit remain on the battlefield until you "give up"?

This sounds pretty bloody great. I think it'll play out well.

As for the shooting of critically wounded people, I think it would be interesting to give it a try. If you're shot behind a wall or something - that is, if you use cover like you should - you could still be revived, as you'll drop behind cover. If you're involved in a heavy fire-fight, there might not be time to put those extra rounds into the guy, either. Plus, it's realistic.

WRT to something more interesting than the black screen:

Something like in FH2 when you get shot, your vision goes blurry and then falls backwards. Gives you more of a feeling that you just got shot and you're falling to the ground thinking "Oh shi.."

Isnt that against lots of rules of engagement anyway? If you include it, punish the player who does it.

That's what I was thinking. The US or probably any country is supposed to care for the down or wounded, even if they are enemies. I think this would work if a squad was clearing a room and put some in the enemy as he was going down, but if he just comes across an enemy downed, how exactly is that realistic?

I too find great curiosity from this. Can a dev please talk on this issue?

This will work great if you make it so that the medic kits disappear immediately after the medic dies.

Otherwise you will be forced to kill every single person in a squad or one of them will have 60seconds just to defib every person. How will it work to play sniper now when if you kill the medic they can just smoke the whole map and then revive him by stealing his kit. It is unrealistic already that a soldier just learns in the process of half a second how to revive and bandage another soldier back to life but now this will happen all the time. It will basically be the same as it used to be with spawning on the squad leader only that rounds will last alot longer due to the fact that the tickets wont drain.

I havent even gone into how unbalanced this will be against the milltia faction who dont even have medics. They wont have any chance at all now to win because most of the time the infantry which you kill will just get revived. Fools road will be 10x more unbalanced than it is now unless you put a real army into that map instead of forcing the Milltia to play against a real army on a huge map where they have scopes and defibs and the millitia dont. The Millitia are only effective on smaller maps where there is 95% CQC unlike Fools road where they have no chance and they will have alot less of a chance now. Fuzzhead you are part of the PRT and you have seen twice now how unbalanced fools road is to the british side just because of the facts that they have defibs which save around 50 tickets a round (probably over 100 now) and the scopes which pwn the millitia iron sights any day.

I mean even to the most veteran players it is very rare that you come up on an enemy squad and you manage to wipe out the whole squad so that there isnt a single guy left who could (after these changes) just hide for 30 sec or so and then nick the medic kit and get reviving.

Just my opinion.
