Ambulance Re-tasking

I agree this will make the game more realistic as in real life all three emergency services would do this anyway.

Press follow up, you'll see units already designated a call, it shows you what the vehicle is, the call they're on or responding to and the distance away. Therefore you can make a judgement of whether that vehicle should be diverted. If you press on it and dispatch it will then come up as follow up meaning it will continue with its current call before attending the new call, however, you can then press send directly and it will leave it's current call to attend this new call.

I understand this may be a problem because it won't show as an available unit and you don't want to be always looking at follow up but I think what your asking for would be quite unecessary since the severity of the call in this game doesn't matter and if like me you dispatch by highest priority and are realistic then it's not too much to look at follow ups, I generally only look to divert a vehicle if there are no other resources available what so ever and only if it is serious, e.g if there's a cardiac arrest and all units are tied up I'll consider vehicles from further away, response vehicles (flycars) and also other agencies e.g fire who would be able to provide first aid until the ambulance from further away arrived. Additionally HEMS can be quite useful in this situation as although it may be very far away it can get there a lot quicker.

Hope this helped

I agree in that aspect but if your use ARR’s for example, it would be nice for the game to consider units which may also be able to go. Rather than having to go into follow up and divert them that way.

I just think there'd be split opinions about it and would be a lot of work for developers when there's more pressing needs. I know I wouldn't appreciate it as if ambulances already being dispatched showing up for dispatch.
