hate to double post or whatever but what's the CG support unit meant to actually be/do
Sorry have just seen this.
The CG support unit IRL are crew carriers while also being used for protracted incidents. Depending on area and operational demands they may also carry additional kit.
In game they are used for protracted calls such as radio outage and can be used as crew carriers.
I'm not sure if this has been discussed but is stuff like the patient/prisoner handoff system going to be fixed and actually work in part 2
Fixed? Whats broken about it?
It's been working fine for me.
Coastguard Mud/Rope rescue units can be used as a CRV.
Is there a Coastguard Rescue Helicopter (Large) in the game yet? How do you get it?
It was supposed to be released in part 1 however during testing the DEVs were unable to implement the Helicopters as requested (transferring multiple casualties) so to prevent further delay only the small helicopter was launched.
We have been told that the carrying capacity will be fixed ready for the release of part 2, the large helicopter should then come with this.
Display MoreMy only concern is complexity for new players.
Can you imagine opening the game to seeParamedic
Specialist Paramedic
Advanced Paramedic
Consultant Paramedic
Critical care
Doctors
In my view what advantage is there comapred to critical care, unless you allow the above to cover the critical care requriement.
I have not said anything about training for paramedic or consultant paramedic.
I also said "other resources", I will not specify at this time what they will be as I need to work on it.
Your concern is noted however I'm wondering why you don't have this concern for other services.
My suggestion of new units will include buildings and unit specific missions, meaning they're optional to have to enhance gameplay and not required from release.
This is the direction content has been heading in as we know releasing something that is required will create enormous headaches for existing setups.
Before any changes and new education is added we need major improvements to how courses can be set off.
If those are your thoughts I welcome you to post your suggestions for education in suggestion for improvements.
CRV is Coastguard Rescue Vehicle.
The Mud/Rope vehicles are exactly the same as a CRV, the only difference is in the back of the truck the 1 side will hold the specialist equipment.
Every CRV in the country (mud/rope/no speciality) will hold the same standard equipment.
A team will not receive a 2nd vehicle because they hold mud/Rope capability.
If you would like to discuss this further then please message me so we don't clog the thread, I'll be happy to help with setups and questions.
As already mentioned, not every team is mud or rope.
If a team specialises in mud/rope rescue they do not receive a 2nd vehicle.
There are exceptions of course as to why a team may have a 2nd vehicle.
OTL is not a course, you're referring to tactical command course which is required for the Ambulance Control Unit (ACU).
Education for Doctors and Advanced Paramedics as well as other resources are in my plans for future ambulance content of which I have now started to work on.
Education for the 2 roles will also require new units and missions to go with in order to make the most of it.
In terms of Coastguard units in game, it's just the MRU and RRU that act as CRVs.
There are some missions where the lifeboat units ALB/ILB can interchange but that's only on a few.
In regards to the Helicopter.. they do transport patients as mine are.
The issue is when trying to implement them the DEVs were unable to include the request for them to carry 14-16 patients.
To avoid further delay to the pack the smaller coastguard helicopter was included and can only carry 1 x patient.
This should be fixed in part 2 with the Helicopter being able to carry the requested amount as I've mentioned in another forum post.
The missions you're probably experiencing them not transporting on are where the Lifeboats can take all patients.
I'm not worried about this.
I designed the mission to work like this, it does not always have to be directly over the mission that spawns it.
I did not include rope rescue as a building expansion.
The only Coastguard station expansions submitted were Mud and Flood.
I have checked the SAR release order for what has been submitted and can confirm Rope expansion was not on there meaning it wasn't added by anyone.
This may be an error on the DEVs part however I have highlighted it to be looked into.
I cant see tech rescue on the courses at the fire academy?
This update is not for fire.
The Mud/Rope rescue vehicles are also CRVs and can replace these for all missions.
You will need the Mud unit (relevant training & expansion) and the Rope unit (relevant training) to unlock the Mud/Rope missions

Any questions relating to the units please don't hesitate to ask, my DMs are also open for queries.
Pleased to hear!
Coastguard Mud Rescue:

As with any update there are expected to be teething issues, please report any as soon as you can.
Any questions please do let us know.
Thank you to the community for being so patient.
Incorrect, Critical Care are used more than you think and not just for what you've stated.
Major Trauma and Traumatic/Paediatric arrests are not that common (obviously area dependant).
Now can I please ask that we keep posts on topic, Nige this is a UK game thread, Critical Care in the US will vary compared to the UK.. yes some similarities but they are different.
No more posts about what Critical Care do or do not go to.
I will submit some changes to the DEVs in the new year and will share with you what I can in here.
Where does it say that?
I have never been told that and I've never implemented it.
