I'm just wondering why in the world would a Platform truck be required at a MVA rollover? Seems ridiculous to me...

Some citys have ladders/ platform trucks respond to Serious Mvas...

It’s for the additional rescue capabilities.

alot of departments put alot of equipment for extractions on the ladder truck

ALSO food for thought, they may use the aerial on the ladder and some kinda of cabling to slowly easily get the car ( how ever its rolled over) back on to all 4's

You also have think about the situation of the call, the car may have rolled down an embankment and a aerial ladder platform would may be needed to create a work platform below

Where i live currently, We do not need Ladder Trucks for MVA's, Due to the fact of we have technical rescue for a reason, Because It is a safety reason to have a firefighter hang over the aerial, Some States are different. But On the platform trucks we do not carry any type of equipment for that, But Our Engine's and Rescue's and Squad's carry that type of stuff.

Yeah a lot of departments in America send ladder trucks to MVAs etc. However, this game and it's appliances are more European. Take a look at the name "Platform Truck." I think the likely hood of that being sent to an MVA is very low indeed.

Live in a town of about 70,000-80,000. 2 Truck Companies in the city and they are the ones that act in the capacity of "Rescue" on scenes of MVCs so I like that feature.

3 engines, 1 ladder, 1 rescue and two batt. is a bit excessive though...maybe drop 1 engine, 1 batt and the ladder and that would be reasonable. could upgrade it to entrapment if you wanted extra units like that.

For any MVA Rollover, Engine / ALS or BLS Fly Car / and Rescue thats all you need for any Motor Vehicle Accident. And add the ambo to that. No need for a battalion chief or ladder truck if the vehicle needs TECH Rescue done.

Sorry to bring this old thread back but I came across it after a forum search.
I don't know if this has been mentioned before but would it be an idea to have a HRV + Platform Truck and remove the required platform truck for the mission. This would eliminate issue for those departments who don't use platforms for these type of calls or have very few in there department. I understand that a HRV + Platform truck could just result in a player replacing all there HRV's with a HRV + Platform;'s or vice vurser so could a considerable price be placed on such units, for eg 50K?
My personal experience is that I find it very hard for these kind of missions. Rural areas who don't have a local access to a ladder worsen the already overstretched state of my 2 platforms covering a very large area.

So besides the developer’s opinion on the issue, the part that concerns me is that you want one for the express purpose of what the developer would see as abusing it. If it’s about playing realistically then you will have to deal with it, and if it’s not then just buy another platform. I’m not trying to say this as a slam or as disrespectful, but rather to show you the approach that the developer might take.

Yeah, I understand that completely.
