How come we can get a stupid sorting update but not fix the pumper tanker issue?
Does anyone actually pass things onto the devs?

Whilst I appreciate your passion and enthusiasm. The PT is not a priority, it has not hindered the play ability of the game what so ever. If we were to drop everything because a few people disliked something every time something wasn't liked then there would be 0% of real progression made. As Boden said are you one of thousands that want something changed yet what about people that don't want the PT changed. Need to remember that their are other people who play this game not just the select few who utilize these forums.

As well as the CA team are human like everyone else and have their own lives and issues to deal with. We have had 1 member deployed for the last month straight doing storm and fire support in VIC as well as other issues the team is dealing with. We would appreciate some patience as we cannot devote 24 hours a day to this.

I'd also like to see The Radius thing like on VMR Added to Police SES ambo and Fire It would be easy ish to add and make it better

This has been brought up before. I will re visit it but will hold no promise on it

Quote from fenrir

I get that is just an idea

It still will be brought to the Devs so it has a fair chance to go but I wouldn't get any hopes up unfortunately

The game is designed to be a simulator not a 100% realistic game. If we were to take the Urban and Rural extension to the devs and it were to pass but I am 99.9% sure it won't. We would need to go through every mission there is and make them again for rural and urban extensions. This is not practical and only makes the game close to 100% a handful of people such as yourselves.

Make it so Ultra lights can do a structure fire then no one will have pumpers. There needs to be limitations to keep the game a challenge and make you need to grind and the grind also encourages alliance members to work together with mission sharing and maximizing credit intake

What data are you talking about?

The missions are created with a generalised response in mind. Needs to be challenging but not impossible other wise you can do a house fire with 2 pumpers. Realistic is a very big kettle of fish and unless you have spoken to every single AU fire service then you can't be fully realistic

CAFS Medium or heavy tanker

Ability to draw response areas for some stations as a polygon, as some stations cover a very small area and some a very big

Heavy machinery like graders dozers and excavators, Dozers and excavators can be transported via semis

RAT (remote area team) Could respond to fires in hard to reach areas and could respond in a rat vehicle or a heli.

Fire investigator

Patrol - units attend every 30 mins or something Some fires need patrols every few hours and there is a chance of them to reignite

Being controlled - Some units getting layed off

Realistic Call setting that reduces The chance of large calls and higher chance of small callouts

More Fire alarms

Priority Setting

Missions have a 5% or so chance to upgrade every time a vehicle arrives

Equipment for purchase like on us

Display More

Regarding this. CAFS Tankers will be suggested. For Heavy plant I like the idea and I have my own thoughts with it as well. The Patrol will be a very tricky thing to do if do able. Being Controlled would be a mission down grade and I don't think that can be done. RAT is something I want to work on in the near future and fire investigators will be brought up in the future

Also More spawning of Veg struc and vehicle fires and way more medical police and crashes and only a few major calls a day

That Spawning has is all based on percentages. It can't be changed

As of right now, the HazMat Pumper is not showing up under the Firetruck tab in mission dispatch, and is not available as a starter vehicle once passed the required rank, which I believe should be rectified by giving it the same coding in dispatch as rescue pumpers, which appear under both the Firetruck and Other Vehicles tabs. And the HazMat Pumper should be able to be bought as a starter vehicle for when building a new fire station passed the required rank

No point having the Hazmat Pumper as a starter because you need the Hazmat trained people to use it. You will have station and truck sitting idle because it can't use the truck

The OTL (Operational Team Leader) from my understanding is the UK equivalent of the EMS chief of the US. Its only used to auto transport patient and is required to finish the treatment of patients at certain missions. They are not supposed to treat every patient.

I reckon that for now, while we don't have CAFS Bushfire Tankers, there shouldn't be a CAFS Pumper requirement. Once there is CAFS Tankers then they should be added

So in regards to that. We dont require a specific CAFS unit. They act as a foam unit and they all fill the role so you need to require a foam unit then set how much foam you think is needed

Only 1 I can critique is the SES 6x6 quad. Its a trailer carrying quads

Will have to check it out so I can give my Tas units the correct graphics lol

Type 3 wildfire Pump can do Forest and also Urban,

Hey mate this is the AU Forum not US. We dont have type 3's here

Quote from Gooochy

Not my question. Will the airport missions have foam requirements added instead or alongside water that’s already there?

It can be looked at. We have other missions to update at the moment

Quote from Gooochy

Thanks! Will missions for the ULFV also be changed to include foam instead of water?

It will be changed in the future to carry foam but will not be acting as a foam vehicle

The pumper Tanker as is does not show in fire truck nor can it be moved there. This is something the devs will need to change

All sorted.

I couldn't really figure out how on Google Maps. ChiefBoden61, that website was really helpful.

If you know where the station is you can use street view which helps some times
