  • Server problems

    Quote from ChiefBoden61

    Thanks for the update, and I understand that with the internet there are always issues. But, respectfully I am pleading that we get this fixed and provide those of us that are playing with some bonus points or something when the fix is done. Absolutely aggravating and frustrating to have the screen lock and crash after almost every action you take. Now we have also lost the LSSM V4 extension(disappeared this morning) and that makes it somewhat more difficult to deploy units as they are now all grouped and more difficult to find. Please, before I get beat up over the comment on the LSSM.V4, I COMPLETELY understand that it is not part of MISSION CHIEF, but it is an available extension and it does enhance/improve game play.. Additionally, I continue to get a pop up saying that the server issue relates to "enhanced POI", so I am not sure what that means. The game worked fine this morning for about an hour or so and now crashes every few minutes depending on what you are trying to do. Trying to complete the special and daily tasks in this mode of error is excruciatingly painful to a point where I am ready to just say forget it and log out. But I play daily all day (even at work when I can). I love the game and appreciate the efforts but can we PLEASE get a fix? Respectfully....

    What exactly do you think they're doing? Sitting around drinking coffee while making happy noises that they're not generating any money for their business? They've told you they are working on it, be patient and wait like the rest of us.

  • New Fire Specialisation

    Quote from mjkerr

    To celebrate the new specializations, we have activated 24 hours of double credits. You can also get specialisations for half the price today

    I have not received this, or is it going to be 50,000 by default, please advise

    They are 50k each, and the price increases the more you build.

  • Realism advice

    Quote from Morvran

    Trying to have as realistic a setup as possible, but struggling with finding how fire officers are distributed. I'm guessing normally they'd just ride the main fire engine and not go in a separate vehicle.

    How have others distributed them? 1-2 per station or do they tend to be located only at main stations? I'm currently set up in Dorset so it's D&W fire.

    Thanks in advance

    With DWFRS we have Flexi Duty Officers are our main officer response. We'll typically have our Station Managers respond from station, so yeah as the rest of the guys said placing them at the larger (mainly wholetime/day crewed stations) are actually pretty realistic. As for the retained stations, they usually respond from home. Because I have no idea where they live I just put them at the station with a delay to simulate that.

    The larger stations, Salisbury, Devizes, Swindon, Stratton, Weymouth, Westbourne etc will typically have a group/area manager assigned.

  • Promotional Events for Credits

    Quote from COVID19

    A cool way to improve, which also has a minor impact on end-of-content players, would be to have events like 50% off vehicles cost in credits. It would really help players on the bottom of the ladder and give them a small boost in growth when they're starting out, possibly leading to more players joining and continuing to play.

    If it also applies to planes then it'll help players higher up the ladder and make it a little more feasible to have airplane squads.

    If anything it should be buildings 50% off 😂😂

  • Using hems

    Agreed with Scotty, not worth it unless you have a surplus in cash and want to spend, or unless you wanna play realistic (even then it would be my utter most last priority)

  • Ambulance Officer

    Quote from Lewis73

    Thank you! I’ve never seen ACUs in MissionChief, any idea where to find them?

    Quote from Gooochy

    They do exist as a Ambulance Control Unit - th3y act as a ICCU and are found at ambulance stations, clinics and HART Bases in my set up I have them as the forward command units form the HART Teams

    As Gooochy said, they're exlusive to ambulance stations, clinics and HART stations. The crew are required to be trained in Tactical Command Course, unfortunately they can't auto transport like ambulance officers.

  • Police Sergeant doesn't count as Police Sergeant when Public Order trained?

    Hey all,

    I've just noticed a weird bug, as you can see below I have 9 officers all Level 2 trained, with a Medic and Sgt, but I need to send a 3rd PSU carrier with another set of 9 with a Sgt inside for the Police Sergeant to actually count on a mission.

    The mission seems to only see the Sergeant as Level 2 trained and ignores the Sergeant training because the mission requires exactly 18 Level 2 PO, and will only make him count as a Sergeant when I send a 3rd unit.

    In summary, the mission only requires x18 Level 2 PO, so the mission doesn't need the 3rd carrier's extra PO so it uses the Sergeant on the 3rd Carrier because the other 2 Sergeants count as Level 2 PO instead.

    I'd expect the Medic to be the same way.

    I don't know if this is a bug, but it's kinda annoying sending a 3rd unit when you only need to use 1 Sergeant and you already have 2 on scene that should count.
