lol ya thats it Hitperson.

As said million times its not a major British Army unit anymore and being phased out, same reason why the US Army don't have the M16A2 or the unarmored hummer.

It was in v0.4 and and v0.5 but then phased out after v0.5 as it was no longer used in real life in any hot zones, only really used by the TA today and its being phased out for them afaik they just have a little bit of a delay on what comes in / goes.

The hummer in PR isn't even armored, if it was it look like this.

Well, we're talking about the old vBF2 one with the open hatch in the back, threatening the lives of the passengers. Not too realistic, or safe, in PR.
It was replaced with USI's closed Humvee.

Doors get in the way when you want to jump out naked and bedroll someone to death.

Ye I have to say I was somewhat dissapointed that it had NO siren

but i'd agree with Rudd, there should be some form of medivac veichle/ambulance, even if it just heals you when you stand behind it.

If I had my way, every team would have an ambulance that heals u at the same rate you bleed, so you can jump in and be kept alive by the 'medic' (take away the necessary transport slot for that auto medic) so you can get to the real medic. But thats just me.

But there should be an Medic in as Driver, so thats some kind of Feedhospital. Only healing inside, if the Medic stands still. (if hardcoded, only healing if Medic is in driver Position)

Good idea. Currently every passenger is quickly healed if a fellow medic is riding along. It's kind of vanilla-magic.
Better yet, instead of equaling the healing and bleeding rate, let the bleeding continue but at a very low rate. This way, the casualty is kind of stable with the possibility of death remaining as long as proper treatment has not been performed.
However a dedicated medic-drivable-only ambulance humvee, saxon or whatever, although a decent idea, would hardly be useful when we already barely have the manpower for logistics. Maybe if the 64 players bar gets raised one day, which I doubt.

Ah, but if I had my way, there would be medics with field dressings only on the front lines and you have to return to main to get healed to full (can any1 say medevac?)

but that wouldn't work on a skirmish map.

afaik the medic doesnt heal if in a gunner or driver postition atm, and thats is good.

Yeah, i see your point, but maybe you can Replace an Scimitar with an Saxon wich also can be used as transport. But i agree that there is no important need for this kind of vehicles in PR
