Rescue-Pumpers

    Quote from Omaha_

    In real life a lot of departments have an engine that operates as a rescue + pumper, it would be helpful if this was added to the game to model the game to real life. I know some will think this is "OP" or whatever, but it's realistic, and there can be a higher price or something to offset it's ability.

    Already in the game. Rescue Engine. Can be bought when you hit Captain.

    Okay this is where everybody is getting confused and nobody really knows who wants what and what’s already implemented.


    In game, we already have:
    - Rescue Engine: A Heavy Rescue Vehicle + Type 1 Engine
    - Pumper Tanker: Water Tanker + Type 1 Engine


    What he is recommending is this:
    - Rescue Pumper Tanker: Heavy Rescue Vehicle + Type 1 Engine + Water Tanker


    As it may seem a little OP, it is however realistic for places that are more countryside / further from other stations and have no hydrants. It also plays the role as a triple combo because nowadays people aren’t getting money for departments like they used to. You can combine multi vehicles into 1, while cutting down your cost by so much because departments just don’t have the man power to operate all those apparatus.


    There are a ton of new players within the community of Mission Chief that have started in their own places, and are playing 75% realistically except for the amount of people volunteering at a fire company. What we are trying to do, is replicate our stations we build including apparatus, name, location, and expansions but we cannot do that without requesting more apparatus in which we are missing in some companies.


    I also noticed that departments have Utility trucks that work as Forestry units and I don’t see one of those in game either. That would be something we want to see as well like I stated earlier, departments have been cut funding and/or volunteers and need to combine multiple apparatus into one vehicle.


    That’s the best way I believe I can explain everything, so if you have any questions feel free to ask!

    I'm going against this, we're lucky as it is that we got the Pumper Tanker as that's deemed as OP as it is, let alone this. I also haven't seen this "TRIPLE" combo before, therefore I'm not quite sure I like this entirely.

    Wizz,


    Here are some sources for your mis-informed firefighting efforts here in Mission Chief:

    - https://www.firetruckmall.com/…orth-Rescue-Pumper-Tanker
    - https://seagrave.com/Our-Trucks/Pumper/Custom


    Just a few links I grabbed in the matter of 10-15 minutes of searching. The vehicle is rare to see online as it is a customly designed apparatus in which it is used all over the US in non-cities and more in far off farmlands or low population areas. Yes, it exists. Either you agree or disagree, this apparatus does exist, and for those of us who wish to play realistically, I believe we should be authorized this piece of apparatus. You may think its OP, but honestly, its what departments use and if you decide to make it OP by putting one in every station, then thats your choice. Those of us who wish to play the game with a realistic setup however, are striving for the best opportunity we can get to make our dreams come true. We are trying to mitigate having the excess of vehicles in a station if the station doesn't have those said vehicles in real life.


    You may not enjoy the idea of this apparatus, or anything about it. Just because 1 person says they don't like it, doesn't mean the silent ones on Mission Chief don't want it either. We're striving for the best quality roleplay for us and this is how we are asking for it. Please, support us in reaching our goal and being able to protect our citizens in game with the best care possible!

    I see why you would want such a unit, but I also see why it is highly unlikely to be implemented :D


    Several discussions over the months have brought up combination units. As previously said... We are lucky to see two 'unit types' combined, let alone three. Of course we would like to see combination units, but sometimes certain features would make the game a bit too easy.


    I understand some want more realistic units/missions etc (myself included), but we can't have everything. Little things every now and again will have to do :thumbup:

    There was a hard enough job in getting the Pumper Tanker in the game, I'll be highly surprised if this gets in the game.

    Wizz,


    As I strongly agree with you that it will be a hard time and I will be highly surprised if this gets in the game as well.


    As long as we keep getting the support we need from the community, it shouldn't be too much of an issue with us.

    Honestly if they had it expensive to buy, and required specialized training that lasted 7 days or something I bet it would be a big turn off and would be more so problematic and expensive rather than buy the rescue eng + pumper. I'm with what the fella said up there, it makes sense IRL but the devs would probably have trouble putting this in the game. But I feel as though if they made it highly annoying and more expensive and time consuming to get the Rescue Pumper than both units it could be a thing. Something for them to consider.
