here is another where the response compliment is out of whack and would benefit being looked at to correct. Again... another suggestion.
i agree the required units is way out of wack vs. real world. The only reason i can think of - is to justify the higher payout only
Yes, that's exactly what I do .... the developers are clever. The fire stations are only 35(?) coins, no matter how many you have. But the points keep rising. So, you get to a point where it is better to buy your new FS with coins, and use your credits to buy other things instead.
As you say, I don't buy coins until the specials come about.
and to expand on that point -wait until the devs offer station builds at 1/2 coin cost, then build like crazy - then expand those when you can, and turn off the others until ready to expand
I believe the 2 open slots are for the 2 larger k-9 units. you will need to buy another slot for the swat units
did you put any expansions in the station? some have vehicle slots for only that specific unit - but still shows in the total slots
iv also trained mine with sharpshooter - just to find the personel faster
to back up EMS-Chief - when Ems command ( unit and staff) came out there was an uproar because all of a sudden the EMS command unit - with 6 trained staff was needed for many calls and players didnt have unit much less staff. and If im correct on timeline - after a week - the requirement was switched to just 2 EMS command trained were needed - and as EMS-Chief stated many players trained their EMS Chief units with 2 and the EMS command unit became redundant ( as it was not specifically required anymore)
ummm - your links goto an alliance called CODE 4, not US Emergency response -
as JRKPirna stated, not so much cost/benefit - but more for realism - for example - my area doesnt have a HazMat truck, but does have some trailers that carry the equipment
I WISH PEOPLE WOULD READ BEFORE ANSWERING QUESTION THAT ARE ASKED. I DO NOT SEE A ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. I THINK PEOPLE SOMETIME ANSWER TO RAISE THE TITLE.
actually the first response did answer your question, if you actually read the response.
so i gather is only for UK based game right now?
Don't know if anyone else saw this, but all fire apparatus that can pump/carry water (except type 6 & 7 wildfire) have pump capabilities in GPM. I am still confused why a heavy rescue has a 1500 GPM rating... but it doesn't take much to confuse me, either.
they prob added accidentally thinking it was similar to the rescue engine
just wondering - with the new flood control trailer in game - is anyone getting the mission requiring it - even though the area does not have that extension at all ( even being built) because i am
any of your pd stations within range, so they will not transport to alliance members or alliance owned cells
I just found discovered today that if the mission "requires" smokejumpers you have to send them by plane. I had a mission today that required "20 Smokejumpers". I had Brush Trucks in that area with all folks trained as Hot Shots and Smokejumpers, so I sent 10 brush trucks more than the 5 required on mission (meaning there would be 20 smokejumpers there. But it still would not finish until I sent a plane with smoke jumpers.
yeah - smoke jumpers - jump (parachute) into some areas that are inaccessible to land crews ( similar to SWAT only counted in SWAT vehicles)
a few tips - train all your wildland staff as hotshots - also buy a crew carrier and train that staff as hotshots - and when you build an airborne firefighting station - and get smokejumper plans going - cross train all smokejumpers as hotshots too ( the larger calls require many hotshot trained)
i like the concept in general - my change would be to make it as a warden spim off - but allow wardens to have say a type 4 or 5 engine to their warden truck?? Since the devs have gone and added Hvy. rescues to both PD and EMS
just a small insight - the fire investigator could also be doing some initial work for the FAA which would be responding to investigate the plane creah, granted there is no FAA unit in game , but i digress
In today's world when Command Post Units respond, the folks that are managing them are "All Hazards IMT Trained". At least in Fla
IRL id agree, but in game - no - only because - as stated earlier - 2 trained in EMS chief covers the requirement, and the EMS chief is needed anyway, plus it would only really work if the specific fd station has the ambo extension
i agree with the fire based trailers - but not the EMS, riot police, or police atv trailers,( unless they are in a complex together) though the fire service should get their own ATV trailer
i like the idea - if put under an extension - then it will not be a requirement but an option
