Hi Guys!

You were keeping me really busy this week  

Let's see what happened.

Weekend Warriors - Opium
Thanks for all of you who joined. I counted 20+ guys on the server which I think is really good.
For me it was exciting and very tiering to fight on 3 fronts  Hope to see you on the next event.

Major insurgency update:
I had a few bugs to dig in like cache spawning on base etc.
Other changes were made to clean up the code and to bring more value to your playtime.

Great work oh holy Public manager, more people is coming on to play and to see the new changes

Yeah now just need the recruitment manager to get his arse into gear and get new recruits to play the dank public server haha!

eod team does that mean they gonna have the .50 cal , cos u know they do rite ? lol.....dont get me excited ....

Just thinking that with the change in the use of PAKs, and the unlikely chance of a squad medic taking an ambulance on every patrol, the MERT team (just removed) now has more use than ever? What do people think?

When I was making the changes I was thinking about the average weekday nights.
Normally you have 1 section-ish amount of people and a pilot on.
The MERT team had a 15 infantry requirement, which we don't usually reach on a monday for example. Also the MERT team had to have full members: teamlead, medic, pilot.
Last time I was playing we had a medical vehicle with us in the convoy.
However to address your point I'd suggest to set the Merlin as a medical vehicle as we already use the csar version of it, and replace the current blackhawk with the mert version. This way we would have the helicopters balanced: 2 transport+CAS and 2 MERT/CSAR.

How does this sound like?

Cheers,
Adam

I just think that people should be using the medical vehicles, but half the time they don't because clearly they don't want a vehicle with no fire power cruising along with them haha, does need to be used more by medics if no MERT team.

Is the shotgun available to the point man now?

Whilst the med vehicle requirement is a welcome change, not everyone uses vehicles on patrols. Sometimes it is a heli drop off in some village.

As a result of this, are the/are some of the helicopters all medical vehicles too?

@Chaza, read my previous note please.
Shotguns should be available for all rifleman with slugs and buckshot, as it was before.

D'oh!

Thanks
