Re: MEDIC: Field dressing before revive!
I have NOT ONCE seen a medic drop a field dressing before reviving someone, I've never done it myself either.

Re: MEDIC: Field dressing before revive!
I was medic on NATO1 PRT C7 and 8, never used a field dressing to do this kind of thing..
Still successful at reviving almost 75% off the time on the first try, that is without hands.. It only failed on slopes, but even with the CPR that sometimes doesn't work. This tactic might work, but I rather save some patches for when they are needed. |

Re: MEDIC: Field dressing before revive!
I only use patches when there are multiple victims that I have revived. I'll cpr, revive and get the 2 or 3 of them toghether, then start ripping patches.. Then use the med bag to top them off.

Re: MEDIC: Field dressing before revive!
OK here's my take on this. I play medic a whole lot. I also don't drop patches on critically wounded people, although I do use them regularly after revive.
From the top of my head, on revive the wounded man has 9% health. A patch gives an instant 25%. So as the OP said that would help the revived man move and defend himself better in a tight spot. The way I prefer to use the patches, when I know ammo is available is to encourage the wounded man to move to where I want him after revive. So I'll say "OK, Sniper_Dave, on revive move N/E to behind the bins" I revive him, then run ahead, drop a patch and then get the medic bag out to heal him the rest of the way. This way Sniper_Dave has to move to me and isn't going to stay in a hot area. Saying that, with 0.9 it doesn't seem to take that long to heal a guy to full health so it may be worth saving the patches for when you have multiple patients. Finally as for using the patches as a mega-CPR, I agree it does work for the very rare occasions when the CPR fails. I guess at the end of the day it just depends on what method you prefer yourself and what the situation is like on the ground. Goguapsy's 5 second delay idea sounds reasonable enough to me too. |
