In real life the marines don't have medics but they have navy medics with them called corpsman think you could rename the USMC medic to corpsman?

Us in the air wing (and the grunts I knew) usually just called the corpmen "doc". Didn't say, how's it goin' medic or How's it going medic. Just doc. And I bet that was yelled on the battlefield a good bit too that way. But Actuall have no idea.

We have been aware of this from the start and will be changing it eventually.

As for external defibrillators, they make extremely portable models now, so I would not be surprised if Hospital Corpsmen and 91W Medics were able to carry them with the rest of their load. If not, one or more would certainly be located in the ambulances and other medevac vehicles.

It's possible, but I was using it to refer to this:

Can it be made so you choose wether you have Defib's or Medi-packs or a Sergeon/Doctor or a Medic.

So you can do one of eather but not both.

Take out the shock paddles, give them a portable stretcher: This allows them to take a critically wounded patient out of the firing line and patch them. The patient can only be “healed” halfway.

I know this is still gamey but shock paddles that heal 100% from dead is not?

Marines shout “Corpsman!” the same as way Army shouts, “Medic!” You can also say Doc, which is the general catch all term for Navy medical corpsmen. For example, “Hey Doc, it hurts when I pee, you got anything for that?”

You can yell out "Doc!" when you need help but yelling "Corpsman!" is more accurate. I assume PR will take rectify that when they first get to the 100,000 other things that are more pressing.

from what i can tell, when you revive someone on PRMM they are only revived with 50% health, you then have to bandage them up the rest of the way.

personally id like to see a 2 second delay where you collect yourself after you've been revived.
