Realistic Medivac
For the future realism, you'r excellent modellers may wish to consider the fact that the British Army have decided to keep the evacuating Chinook on the ground for 20 minutes to allow stabalisation of the evacuee prior to medivac. Cover is now provided by a hovering Apache.

Re: Realistic Medivac
You sure mate?
I went to a lecture last night at the Sussex medical school where a serving paramedic with the MERT indicated that this wasn't the case, that using techniques like horizontal resus the team prepare the casualty for reception to the ED or right turn resus (straight to theatre) in about 10-15minutes. edit, though handover from the men on the ground can take up to 5minutes also, 20minutes sounds like you're asking for your chopper to be shot down on take off or mortared on the ground... |

Re: Realistic Medivac
That might work better on ArmA, not so much on BF2. People don't need to be stabilised, just healed up. While you could give a "medevac" helicopter healing abilities (like the UH1D medevac in Vietnam), it doesn't work as it does in real life.
Though it's cool for role-playing, in many cases it's way too dangerous to do this in a live game. |
