The medic class plays too similarly to the assaulter class, except worse due to the fact they are unable to take an ammo pouch for their automatic weapons.

Medics should have the option to take more precision focused weapons to make them stand out more gameplay wise from typical assaulters.

I propose that Medics should have access to all of the standard riflemen weapons from bolt action rifles to select fire rifles.

Before you argue that this is overpowered, keep in mind that medics still cannot use ammo pouches, which limits the effectiveness of select fire rifles.

In addition to that, medics can already use weapons such as the Fedorov Avtomat or Scotti Naval Rifle which have similar firepower to select fire rifles.

This would allow people to also use carbines such as the M1 carbine for their US medics, which is a frequently requested feature.

Overall, I believe medics should not be reskinned assaulters, so their weapon variety should be expanded. This would make them a more interesting class and give players a reason to think about using a medic squad over an assaulter squad.

It would make the class viable as a member of other squads where you can take them, at higher BR, but I gotta say there’s just no reason to even then. Assaulters are just a better choice, so while I voted yes on this, I don’t really see the point.

Just to make medics more interesting than diet version of assaulters, I suppose

Why medics were even added to Enlisted I dont know.

It’s not like Hell Let Loose where you actually need a medic to revive. In real life medic’s main purpose was saving lives whereas in Enlisted they are just a crappy AliExpress assaulter squad.

So the suggestion to make them a more viable squad is very useful and I support it.

They do serve a purpose, havin used them for a time for giggles cos i never used them before, i found them useful for battle hero and yeah they are a lil assaulterish which I like and use very well. Horses for corses as some say xxx

And… they do need more love. I do have a fondness for them cos my career path in life was gonna be nurse, paramedic, army medic… like my brother did. Life jus kinda gets in the way and you find yourself not doing that.
