anybody now why this happens?

BF2.

yea, what you gotta do is if the shock paddles aren't working, you should take a bandage and throw it at the body you are trying to revive which will then shake the body and dislodge it from the object it was stuck on

depends on the hit the guy took some times your put into man down state others you might be killed outright, being knifed or hit in the head kills IIRC

ahhhh

but there have been times when i have been 'critically wounded' and not been able to be revived

Because you were stuck in something, thats why you throw a field dressing at bodies, you cant revive for some reason, altough they are reviveable...

yeah i get that all the time. I usually find jumping on the bodies and soon as i hit the ground reviving works.

First thing to do is get the casualty to communicate with you: are they down, wounded or down, dead.
If wounded, a zap on the chest, time permitting, is best.
1 zap doesn't work? Throw a field dressing, this'll shift the body. Zap!
Still on the ground? If the casualty is not an SL or another medic then save your charges and move out of danger or onto the next casualty.
My rule is not to waste more than 2 zaps on a casualty unless I have time & I'm not in danger of becoming a casualty myself.
You have to be cruel to be kind

Because of the aim. You need aim the wounded soldier in the middle of your screen.

Also in RL reviving someone does not work from the first try every time

Any way, throwing field dressing at the critically wounded body you cant revive works almost always. Also if some one is critically wounded on a slope his kit will stay in place but his body will gradually slide down the hill. Sometimes you need to zap the kit and not the body.

I tend to aim for the ***. No, really, that seems to work the best. I can get most difficult cases in 2 zaps. I rarely throw field dressings, because often I don't have time to (zapping the second time usually works better and is faster), and besides that, ammo is scarce now, so they're better saved for when they're needed.

yeah as weird as it sounds zapping the *** works good, I hardly ever throw field dressings cos it takes me too much time while lying in the line of fire.
