make medics great again

[Quan]

The weapons for the medic are terrible. Give us an smg or some type of semi auto. The single shot is terrible for the germans and russians. The US isn't too bad with the semi.

Reduce the amount of Bandages/Morphine Certs back to 6 that a medic uses to carry. Keep the Drop Medic Box thou. Medic standard issue fire arm should be a pistol.

No. If you want a better rifle for killing infantry, play a different class.
This is as bad as the guy complaining about the K98 on AT class. That isn't your job.

if you cant kill with a kar, what makes you think you hit better with an smg?

Accuracy by volume, hurhur.

All of these people play sniper...

Practice and become better.

I enjoy playing medic cause of the pistol but the secondary loadout kinda sucks. dropping bandages that no one ever resupplies makes the second loadout kinda pretty bad in comparison to the first. They should give him a wrench at least to make it a viable loadout or some boom. boom is always nice.

Exactly. Was a Medic, firing a weapon wasn't our mission.

The issue with medics is chiefly their design in a game that doesn't value the thing they can do; which is revive players.

Most times it's simpler, easier, and quicker to just revive; the fully restocked munitions is often the reason I hold F to deploy.


Also, what does a medic do that another Squad Leader can't? I too provide suppression reduction; also carry smokes; but far more ammo, a better gun (in nearly all cases) grenades, and most importantly? A deployable spawn point, along with (hopefully) additional intel coming through command chat.

The way I look at it? Maybe I can't get to you as a medic, but odds are the OP is still safe, and you're at most 20 seconds away from redeploying.

The medic is absolut fine. The only thing i complain about is the amount of ammo you can carry... thats kinda bad. 3-4 Magazines would be fair. BUT its not a single player game. Walk and play with your squat, they can give you ammo.

Medics are a great support class which can be powerful in certain situation. But it is not a combat class, for better weapons maybe change your role.

[Grailer]

rather they add a way to drag downers into cover so they dont get insta domed instantly they are revived. most squads are playing wannabe heros solo counter strike so medics arent much good in that situation

[σ askinghook]

Shooting is not the medics main job. If you want to shoot play other classes.....

Medic is just a useless class in this game to be honest. Majority of the time when someone dies its in the open, so you toss smoke but the enemy already saw and killed the other guy so they just fire at the smoke to suppress anyone trying to go though there. Also there are no tickets so re-spawns are free. Better to just play Support and put down supply for a garrison.

Respawns cost one manpower. Redeploying costs one manpower. That said, usually you float in manpower.
Medics shine in defense, especially situations where you lose a vital garrison and guys are hold up in a building.
