Medical Evacuation Chopper

My idea is that each team has one or maybe two choppers which upon getting within 5 metres you start getting healed, including players inside with the exception of side gunners and the pilot. so in this way a squad that just got pounded hard but managed to survive but have wounded men and a lack of bandages and no medic can call in for a med-evac chopper.

now to prevent people spaming this and sitting next to a chopper all day in a firefight, the choppers healing is much slower than the ussual heal speed.

i've also thought about maybe a Med-evac humvee, no MG on top no TOW. people in the back seat get healed at 2/3 the speed of a regular medic. no healing of people around it

As an idea it sounds nice but implementing then? If we would have even more vehicles in more maps we would run out of infantry. 31 player for one side is not that much.

As every vehicles are supposed to have some sort of medical tools in them this could be done exactly with that very slow healing in normal jeeps and transport birds. Would need a bit more tweaking and thinking but as adding / replacing specific vehicles doesn't sound that good.

Additional maps featuring these kind of helicopters would be good.

Would just take another man or two from the team, been suggested before as well, although it is not in the suggested list...

Probably too easily exploited, not worth it as you should just have a medic, etc etc.

But mainly because it has already been suggested multiple times. Ill add it to the list.

Thanks
