Any new ideas?
I also wanted to share a strawpoll for engine tankers:

New Fire Apparatus Suggestions?

Engine Tankers have been brought up multiple times and most likely won't happen although that'd be great to have. But it would just make the game easier.
-
The whole point of this game is realism, frankly. Therefore ETs should be added. If Rescue Engines and Quints were added, why not Engine tankers?
-
Because the Admins feel on a game standpoint it would make the game really easy. I can see this in a way. Which is also why you don't see Casecade Rescue trucks, Rescue Ladders, etc
Yes the game is made to be realistic but as realistic as possible without making the game extremely easy. Adding the Engine Tanker would just make it easier. We're all lucky to have the Rescue Engine and Quint.
-
Why not just have the restriction of having to be a captain before purchasing an engine tanker? They're so infrequently used in missions that it would provide a chance for the possible missions to be expanded for rural style areas.
-
I’ll attest to the fact that you’re lucky to have those units. That was not an easy sell for the developer.
-
I'm trying the idea of petitioning for the unit. Maybe, just maybe it will work.
-
ya might make it easy unless somebody plays realistically. Besides having a Engine tanker would not make a difference who cares if it makes the game "too easy" the missions r too easy thats the problem
-
I see what you're saying here and I whole heartedly agree. Unfortunately we have to have some sacrifices in the game. I have a couple rural fire stations myself and some tankers I have are Pumper Tankers in rl but I make due with just the Tankers.
-
i cover all of riverside county and most of the time the Water Tender is 20-30 minutes out i like to play realistically for unit placements so truly this would help out with that problem
-
May be cheesy but you could always have an engine and tanker both labeled the same unit number? I've considered doing this.
-
Furthers complication with realistic naming. Also is more expensive. There's just so many more perks to having engine tankers included in the game.
-
Again I agree with you guys. I'd love nothing more than to have it. We may never see it unfortunately.
I've played this for several months and this has been brought up way even before I joined.
-
That's why we should try and push the devs to create it. If it's what the community wants then they may add it.
-
you would think the devs would listen when some of the top paying players start wanting new vehicles but who know
-
I'm just a player not a Mod lol. It's up to the Mods, Dev Team and Lead Admin Himself.
If plenty of players keep requesting it of course I'm on board with this. I've asked about it before myself.
Perhaps if it were implemented then maybe the calls could be more challenging. Like have the calls last a little longer than they are.
-
Exactly, it opens a whole floodgate of opportunities. Which one would think devs would like.
-
i dont mind longer calls or more difficult calls its only that i wish i could turn off certain calls in certain areas.
-
From a realistic standpoint I would love to have the unit. We’ve brought it up to Sebastian several times and he is not a fan of the idea. Like I said getting Rescue/Engines and Quints was a battle. I would roll with the idea of having two units both named the same even though it’s not ideal. Also, for you rural guys, I’m guessing that you have one or two dedicated tankers in addition to the pumper/tankers. Make the dedicated tankers your in-game tankers, and the combinations your engines.
-
So far that;s what I've done haha. Do you think Sebastian would include it if a petition was made for it? Just curious...
