Ok...no medic stryker. You are gonna feel pretty silly when an RKG3 hits your stryker and there are no medics around. Just kidding. I would feel honored if you would take my observations and apply them to the game. PM or email me with additional questions.

daferg,

Great info you posted. We need more professional soldiers like you sharing information about equipment in the real world as compared with it in the game. I'm sure your info will help improve an already good game. Do you PBEM? If you're interested PM me your email and let's get a game going.

I am afraid my schedule is sometimes unpredictable. Here one day and gone for the next few days or weeks. I plan to have a very long vacation coming up soon. Perhaps my first PBEM will happen then. Thank you for the invite.

This is a very good game. If you apply basic real life tactics in this game it works. Cross an open field without a support by fire position set up and see what happens. Drive 40mph down a dirt road and run into a rifle squad in a tree line. Stay in one spot for a long time killing a bunch of bad guys and see if that don't attract some indirect fire.

Buy yourself a good laptop then you could play anytime anywhere.

Gila, be careful with your advice. The man can not be in the middle of a shootout with the laptop.
It's a joke. Take this opportunity to greet Gila. When we play a game?

There are no medical functions in the game, so such units are superfluous for game purposes. Same as say, water bowsers would be, or the cooks truck. Or all the varicose radar vehicles that get "folded into" an area SAM launcher icon for game purposes. Even a dispatch rider with motorcycle would be useless - since there is no concept of an "orders package" to pass between HQS. Players would use the D/R as a fast scout, most likely if provided..

If you need a "rescue taxi" for beaten up sections, or to recover de-horsed crews, then buy an APC from the MISC menu, and leave it in the rear, unloaded.


Cheers

Ok. Got it. No medic stryker. No medic vehicles of any type what so ever. I promise never ever ever to bring the subject up again. Ever. Promise.

But would it not be cool to have one and instead of a vehicle moving sound it would go "wee woo wee woo wee woo". Like a siren. You could dismount the medics and the new medic pukes in the corner. The grizzled senior medic takes the cigar out of his mouth and says "Oh My God!". Then you could have the Chaplin vehicle come up and you dismount the Chaplin.

Ok. I feel better now. No more medic vehicle talk. It would be cool though, huh?
