Since medic is losing their lethality when most smgs and pdws are geting removed, shouldnt we buff medic's capability to heal and revive teammates so they can do their main thing faster and just less about holding a button to do their job?
some things i have in mind is to make the large med pack to work in a radious around it, healing teammates and maybe stopping bleeding but at a slow rate. small med pack works for something as a lonewolf or when you dont want to be in a high traffic area and work more on the flanks being able to use it after 5 seconds and it heals 10 health per second(open to change the stats) and something to make revives take less is to make it work like a defib from the battlefield games where you revive with a single button(aswell up to change)

Cutting the bleeding in an area with a accessory could be a cool idea but imo the mechanic would be clunky, like it'll stop bleeding from already bleeding people or even the new ones coming in the area?

I agree with you for the revives, I think it takes a lot of time so most people don't revive even when you're close to them. Most people picking medics RN are often big KPM players who want to heal themselves fast and often don't heal/revive others.

Increase HP on those revived by medic to 75%, give the medic shock paddle gadget accessory that instantly revives a player at 20hp, but needs 5 seconds to recharge between revives

I think it'd be wiser to just put the revive on 60% (like that the guy have to bandage 1time and can be down with 1 sniper bullet, 2/3AR PDW, etc) and to fasten a bit the revive animation.

Definitely need to make Medic better at reviving than other classes, more than just speed

could also help to mute when being revived so I don’t have some Russian dude basically blowing my cover/position by screaming medic in the voice chat

But in all seriousness having more effective revives would go a long way, and might actually make it worth it to wait for a medic vs simply just respawning, especially in community servers where spawn times are almost non-existent

Medics don't revive because everyone just respawns straight away, at least on EU servers

#

They respawned straight away because they get used to not being revives, it's a consequence

#

I know for a fact they'll often try to stay there if they see a medic. 1 year ago people were talking a lot more to get revives, now they don't mind because they don't want to spam in vocal to get revive on each death specially if they get ignore most of the time

winter spoke
#

Ye

#

I’m intentionally ignoring vocal spam as med because 9/10 times there’s an enemy nearby and you just blew my cover. As a medic I dont mind going for revives, just don’t make it a chore for me to do so.

So there's very little incentive from either side to hold on for a medic unless you know it will be hard to get back to that spot.

#

Kind of why I'd like to see an instant revive gadget with a recharge time

#

Could be problematic balance wise like it did on BF

winter spoke
#

It's been in BF since BF2, it can't be that problematic

#

It's not spammable if it's on a cool down timer and the person getting revived is on 1-shot health

uncut flare
#

Because there's more players in a same server, bigger squad and a lot of medics (based on the actual meta) it can be

winter spoke
#

Yea but after about 4-5 revives your timer disappears so quickly it's basically impossible

As a replacement for C4, a defrib would be great

#

Less good at blowing up walls, way better at reviving

#

Funny melee weapon

spare briar
#

I wouldn't replace it, just make it not a very attractive option compared to all the better things you could have there

#

just give them AV nades

#

I think also something has to be done about big med pack and the small one

#

With is basically the second main reason why i suggested those and to start something about it

spare briar
#

? there's a single med pack

glad stratus
#

Isnt there two?

winter spoke
#

Nioe

glad stratus
#

Oh am i tweaking

spare briar
#

ammo boxes maybe

winter spoke
#

There's bandages and a medpack

glad stratus
#

GOD IT WAS THE AMMO BOX

#

My bad lmao

uncut flare
#

just put C4 on support

glad stratus
#

But kinda stands since medics tend to either dont revive me because it is a chore to do revives and heals with it was the main thing i aim about

#

So discard the whole med pack thing lmao

glad stratus
winter spoke
#

Hell no, medic should have no way to damage vehicles

glad stratus
#

Or assault aswell

You kinda have a point
And honestly kinda dont care what goes what
But i would prefer a sledgehammer since c4 on support is most used to clesr terrain to build
So a sledgehammer would make that job and restrict support from having the possibility to kill tanks

An other thread talked about adding pickaxe or sledgehammer on everyone I don't think it's a bad idea
