Re: Fireteams in .86
In my thinking you may not want the medic with the LMG, since the LMG will attract A LOT OF ATTENTION and will be a main target for OpFor... you know cause they cant do ANYTHING while that LMG is on them!
Thats why I think it might not be the best idea to have your medic with the suppresion team. Although everyone is right when they say that a medic is useless as an assaulter because he has no grenades, sometimes no optics, and yeah... its easy to die assaulting too! Personally I think I might try getting into the habbit of leading the flanking team and just tell my LMG crew to "stay put here! and shoot there!" and then I can look after my guys that are on the move a bit better. I'm curious to see how well this works... Some food for thought... |

Re: Fireteams in .86
That's exactly why you want your medic on the LMG. If you LMG goes down so does your squad.

your fireteam is trying to sneak somewhere, where they have a good shot at the other team and less people usually is a benefit when trying to be stealthy. | |

Re: Fireteams in .86
i always find myself getting annoyed at pub players, when ever i ask them to place rapid fire on a target they always are slow on the uptake thus they end up becoming easy targets. whenever i begin a map i end up drilling it into their minds that when i ask for fire i mean you have to get down and fire. therefore i asign an order of march at main when the round begins. so when i get contacted i can ask for fire and grab a rifleman or specialist to follow me as i flank. as for squad asignment :1 me as sl 2: city maps specialist or open plains rflman optics 3:lat or grenadier 4: lmg 5: rflman optics 6; medic

Re: Fireteams in .86
Good question, since we only have one medic now, you can't have a self sufficient fireteam anymore. Your medic needs to be protected, he needs to be at the rear so that you can have him around in case things go bad and you need to rescue your fireteam. Here is how I have set things up.
I'm sure some other players will figure out some creative and effective (probably more effective) ways of doing this. However, this is the way that I have done it, and it has served me quite well for a long PR career. I hope that you can learn from this and become a better SL at using fireteams. Good Luck. |

Re: Fireteams in .86
Often in real life are Fireteams esential for destroying ambushes, flanking the enemy and falling back to safer position. Often u see that SL and medic dont shoot on enemy, couse SL is thinking of next tactical move,and medic are watching for metes if they are hit. If medic is shooting on enemy, and his mate is hit,he must stop shooting and go heal them, but then this enemy who was engaged by medic, have clear pass to flank u. or engaging your team mates. When i play medic i have only 1-7 kills(all from covering back and flanks), I never shoot at enemy on front unless i have to couse are all my mates down.

Re: Fireteams in .86
If its an infantry map you would want to have an AR shooting small bursts of fire each and every 4 second to keep the enemy well pinned down, the grenadier just shots 3 - 4 HE rounds while the officer, medic, rifleman and LAT runs behind the closest ridge to flank and voila! Every time i've tried that it works. Either the grenadier gets the enemy or they die of the flanking team. But now when the I only have one medic I tell the random guy to go what ever he wants aslong as its not sniper or any kit you do not approve of.
