Some medic changes

Allow medic helmet (this one with “aim here” sign) to be equipped by medics that aren’t in medic squads.

When healing / reviving, AI with medic class soldier should be prioritised as the one that heals. So we don’t have situations when sniper heals while medic is doing sth else.
I don’t know if it’s in game but I suppose not as there was nothing like that in patchnotes.

Order to heal in the area.
AI medics in your squad should automatically heal and revive allies in let’s say 5-10m range. Also an option to toggle it on and off in the command wheel is very important.
AI should still prioritise shooting to not die stupidly. Also it’s better to prevent than to cure :wink:
(Obligatory combat medic joke: :ballot_box_with_check:)

Quick order to heal.
Press “X” when looking at wounded / downed ally to order your AI medic to heal him (and only him). Works independently from the order mentioned above.

Add a notification that you are being healed.

[Already mentioned by others.]
Add “I need meds” (should work like with ammo crates) and maybe “I need a medic” to the quick calls.

Allow downed state even if soldier doesn’t have first aid kit.
It should increase usability of medics in their intended role and slightly increase survivalibity of soldiers. Player should have an option to give up, AI should seek for cover (I don’t know if it’s smart enough though) and wait.

When downed, soldier should yell “medic” for more immersion. Once in a while of course, 10 soldiers yelling about medic at the same time would be bad.

Icon above the downed soldier should differ from the “wounded” icon.
I don’t know if it’s in game. If it is, I didn’t notice it.

Add an option to drag downed allies. Carrying soldiers should be faster than downed soldiers crawling on their own.
No idea how to do it in terms of keys though.

PS.
And all of that because I wanted to wear a silly hat so I wrote a post and thought it’s too small so I’ll add more bits :upside_down_face:

All medics should go to revive downed teammates automatically
With downed members of their squad taking priority

Big medic button should appear when you get in downed state to shout for Medic

More visible Medic Markings on every medic because they were protected by Geneva Convention

Idk if its there now but enemy AI should no attack Medic that doesnt fire at them, that would not be the rule when medic tries to capture a point or plant a bomb (or medic should not be able to plant a bomb or capture point but that seems a bit tough solution) anyway i know that medics on eastern front were usual target anyway since soviet union was not a signatory to the geneva convention and to kill german medic was seen as a prize for soviets, so many medics did not wear their markings, anyway player could choose whether he wants his medics uniform marked or not

All starting german medics in Medic squad or ALL medics generally should come with Lugers or Walthers pistols, or maybe Artillery Lugers and Walther P38 long barrel ( for more intersting diversity) since medics were often a target to enemy soldiers they were issued a pistols for their protection and for their duty to protect their patients… so no SMGs but enlisted medics must be different i guess ( anyway change to weaponry should be the last)

In history, every soldier healed by medic was usually sent to hospital and not to immediate combat :smiley: but its game so … a healed sodier might appear back on spawn maybe ? or just leave it as it is ?

You migh also find this source useful man

MEDIC is only another assaulter wo die in stalingrad there is no way to add him him in old campaigns (like tunisia rider) withaut do the entire 4 old campaign from the scratch
(this is also the same for a future mechanized squad)
so as much as I agree with the changes you proposed due to the very nature of the game voted to “yes” make certain good suggestions practically useless and this is a real bad, because if our suggestions cannot be applied, we what are we doing here? mobile ATM maybe?
PS
This is not a rant is that I have seen many good tips completely ignored or the opposite has been done by the development team, it really hurts the brain to see so much potential wasted to make a COD: WW2 2.0

I think that currently, most people do not care if they have a doctor in their squad or in the team in general, the doctors do not have a real reason why they are in the game, there is not something that makes the players say ; “Shit I need a medic on my squad, because I know I’ll need it.” It does not exist, they simply see it as one more assault.
