Pick it up, Doc

[[FHW]'Tex' Teixeira]

Hi there, i got some questions for the FH-Team. I'm sorry, my english is not very good, u know
Well than, i noticed that in some (only two i think) maps are medic-kits to pick it up. I think that will be an better idea when in every map would be medic-kits, with an random weapon mode. Like the Tank Comander (Handweapon or Sub Machine Gun)

The Medic should be able to heal only the people, with more healt than 40 or 45% I think so its better because when u got less than this, u need an coroner not a medic (realistic, u know)

I dont know or this will be the great hit in public gaming, but community like the german FHW would have a lot of fun (in Karelia i play every time the medic for my guys, u know

What do u think about this?

I don't know about medic kits, at least in their current form. But if they could only heal if the player had like at least 60% health left, like you suggested, meaning a minor injury, I think that would be pretty cool.

I don't think FH need medics. There are healthcabins almost everywhere when you need one.

Which shouldn't be, IMO. Perhaps one at a main base, but not scattered all over. I like the OP's idea, except that we don't have a slot for a medic kit in every map. Assuming we did however, it could be pretty cool - the medics would randomly spawn with either no weapon and just a medit, or maybe sometimes a pistol*. Unfortunately the other armies do not have an analogue to the M1 Carbine, so it wouldn't work as well for them.

*I don't know what the normal rules for medics were for any other nation than the US. The Geneva Accords were frequently ignored.

A pistol would be fine by me...

I like the idea, but is has been suggested before. I also believe that it has been shot down by a dev every time.

Glad to hear someone from Stuttgart, home of Porsche.

Stuttgart is the home of Mercedes

We can't set a limit for healing in terms of HP, like you have to have at least 50% to be able to get healed, no way.
Other than that, who get's shot in FH and has more then 50% left?

Porsche too Hartmann. Not to brag, but my parents own two, a Cayenne S and a Carrera 4 Cabriolet. Plus a '97 E320.

Oh, and just so you know Skipster, if Daimler Benz purchased Chrystler, not the other way around. So the HQ of Chrystler is in Germany.

And for the record, VW does not own Porsche. If anything, it is the other way around. VW was founded by Ferdinand Porsche.

If your parents have the money to buy two $50,000+ cars, why are you playing FH on such an old 'puter? I'd've bitchslapped someone by now.

Neither Daimler-Benz nor Chrysler purchased the other. They merged. DB maintained their HQ in Germany, and Chrysler maintained their HQ in Detroit. They just changed the names on their signs.

VW was founded by Dr. Porsche, but Porsche maintains no stock in that company. VW in Germany is a lot different than it is here. Over there, natives view VW as the Plebian car - the poor man's car. The ladder goes VW - BMW - Mercedes - Porsche. In the US, VW has marketed themselves towards a higher end of the price scale, and their cars aren't seen as cheapo.

[USMA2010]

They have money, I don't. Besides, I am content with my laptop.
Oh, the Cayenne S bases at around 60k, and the C4C at about 76k.

Well I own a Buick Regal, 1996. Its a beautiful car and given our 65mph speed limits, it suffices just fine for northern Ohio.

Anyone, I repeat, ANYONE who spends over 25,000$ on a car is a moron. Its a CAR. Its not a penis replacement. My dream car is a Cadillac El Dorado, red, two-door, w/ v8 and loaded. Total price? 24,500$. Then there's strip down Porches you can get for around 30,000$ that don't even have power windows and can indeed go 14 mph faster then my Caddy.

[USMA2010]

The Cayenne is just plain cool. Simple enough.
The Carrera my dad purchased was a good "reward" for a successful couple of years.

Now, those who spend $900,000 on a Ferrari Enzo (yes, the words are in that order) are silly people with no sense of money's value.

ANYWAYS.............

Remeber that when you're at 1 % health, you're still fully functional and it was only a minor injury. However, when you'r at 0 % health, think about it this way:
- You have died
- You have been severely wounded

Either way, you can't fight anymore, so the ingame death simulates this.

Anyways, I don't know what's wrong with having a few medic kits on each map. Just make sure they can't heal themselves...

[Creeping Death]

I would prefer every soldier have 1 morphine syringe, so when you have been shot up/wounded, you can give yourself one and get back say 10% of health and you wont die tripping down 2 or 3 stairs or jumping over obsatcles trying to get back to a med cabinet.

You forgot about the steep hills and the stairs of doom.
