Just wondering how you guys dispatch ambulances to large calls?
Up until now I have just set two thirds of the number of possible patients as the number of ambulances on the ARR for a call. For example, the Fire in Hospital mission can have a max of 25 patients so I have set my ARR for that mission to 17 ambulances. I know the mission will likely generate for less than 25 patients and they won't all require transport so 1 ambulance could treat multiple patients.
This often seems like a waste at times though because sometimes before dispatching a call I'll see only 5 patient names at the top for example, so I have to go to the ambulance tab an un-tick 12 ambulances. I considered removing all ambulances from the ARR templates and just dispatching them separately at the same time based on the patients written for each call however some calls don't have any mention of patients until the units arrive (or even sometimes when the call is nearly finished) so that just slows the whole process when I am sending ambulances so late.
Has anyone found a good approach to this? Am I missing something?
