Killing medics clearly violates the Geneva Accords, yet this game allows us to commit war crimes with impunity!

Quite a heretical thoughts, but Geneva Convention isnnāt universe law.
Laws etc. mean completely nothing if you donāt have the means to enforce them.
Plus USSR didnāt even signed Geneva Convention.
And if you really are referring to geneva accords, thatās 1988 stuff. And it is related to Afghanistan lmao.
Btw, these days, countries donāt even bother declaring wars before they attack someone. What a modern age we live in.
Todayās politicians are just rats without any honor.

Geneva Checklist moment
I know I know like many games Medics are just treated like any other infantry but Iāve had a crazy idea
Most people use Medics as proto-assaulters, but what if they werenāt. In real life you are not allowed to actively fight Combat Medics, and Medics are only allowed to fight defensively but they lose their privilege if they fight offensively
What if they made it so if you kill a non offensive Medic you get point deductions but if the Medic has āfired the first shotā and is fighting offensively then itās open season.

Bā¦But when Japanese troops on Iwo Jima preferentially sniped U.S. medics, they were met with worldwide condemnation.
According to āGeneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Fieldā
Art. 7. The protection to which medical formations and establishments are entitled shall cease if they are made use of to commit acts harmful to the enemy.
Medical personnel carry offensive weapons that can be fired fully automatically, and have active attacks on enemy troops.
No longer protected by the Convention

Because US has won, thatās literally the only reason why.

Because they can heal themselves and they dont want to alert the enemy by screaming
The medics would then be used to hunt enemy rallies or kill tanks. No one would bother killing them because it would cost points

I like how the medic holds his hand to the chest. Looks awesome compared to average ragdoll death.

You get a quicker heal from teammates tho. Not to mention, he just got shot; I am not sure anyone would be quiet after that.

There is a difference between shooting a medic who is performing a combat duty and specifically targeting medics who are attempting to perform a medical duty.
Even the Wehrmacht would let medics perform their medical duties (not SS), but Japan knew that America would embarrass them if they ever signed anything less than a long-term armistice. The Pacific War was a textbook on how to defeat someone in War (eliminate the source quickly) versus how to lose a war like in Vietnam (do not eliminate the source quickly; try to outlast it).
Canadians (A), on the other hand, are bloodthirsty monsters and did almost everything that the Japanese had done in the War quite consistently.
If people think they can do something and evade the repercussion they will do it. There are laws prohibiting the sale of heroin with some countries issuing the death penalty, but it doesnāt stop some people from doing so.
Realistically a soldier during WW2 under the influence of national propaganda, perhaps at one point during their military service seeing their friends get killed or maimed, witnessing their country being destroyed wouldāve developed a deep hatred for the enemy.
The Eastern Front is a war of ideologies, on the one hand the German ultra nationalism, on the other the Soviet communism. Both side loath each other in a far more visceral way than the fighting between the German and the Western Allies. Nazi propaganda actively degrade the Slavic people as āsub-humanā leading to great suffering by the Soviet population as the German advance toward Moscow.
I imagine that there would be no attempt to distinguish between an enemy combat medic or a soldier during a firefight as either side no longer see each other as human.
IJA : deliberately shooting medics first
The IJA were cruel. Judging from they did to the Chinese and the Korean, they probably donāt have any respect for combat medic or the Geneva Convention that Japan didnāt sign.
