Are Medics Still Doing Their Job in PR?

[bettylim]

I’ve noticed more games lately where medics aren’t reviving or sticking with squads. Sometimes you get two medics who just go off and fight like riflemen.

Do you think the medic role has lost its importance in PR? Should there be changes to make it more rewarding, or is it just bad player habits?

I am a medic Main, I think medics shoud have weaker versions of weapons/versions without a scope, like they do for insurgents and Talibans. And in general, in all games there are players who use medic class incorrectly.

Medic is where I started out teaching. I would either directly see somebody get shot or I would come after forensically looking at the position of the body on the terrain type and generally know why they died. I would then teach and explain.

Body in a bush was doing everything he could to survive, body in the open on the face of a hill rather than using it for cover.

Medic needs more than a functions manual, down to the using drag to check for live wounded instead of randomly sticking with epipens wasting them. Not that people survive to use all their gear in the first place. People don't know about the dropping patch on a body thing.

But also people need to work on the things medic is needed for.

Reducing mass casualty incidents by positioning "1 man per piece of cover in view of each other to save and distract enemy for each other. Divide enemy fire and attention". Also by skills such as camouflage, climbing trees with rope for flags, playing dead and maximizing available assets firepower security mutual asset support between armor, emplacements and other support vehicles.
