Concept proposal to make Mass Casualty incidents easier to manage/more realistic.

The idea is simple. When an Ambulance Officer automatically sends an Ambulances to a hospital with a patient, if there are outstanding patients on that mission, Then the Ambulance Officer "recalls" that Ambulance back to the mission after it has successfully transported the patient. Either to treat another patient or transport another Patient. Reducing the need to dispatch large numbers of ambulances to a call or to manually re-dispatch more ambulances down the line.

I would propose adding this as an option alongside the other Ambulance officer settings. Something like "Recall ambulances when there are outstanding patients"

This would mean you could clear Mass Cassualty events with fewer resources. Making unit management and clearing of a large numbers of calls a little easier, as you dont need quite as many Ambulances on each mass cass mission.

I normally do these manually - would like to see this implemented.

And it gave me no where near the Average payout listed

I believe its about 30% each way. So you could get 30% more, less etc. Sadly it seems you got the short end of the stick.

Why was the VMR updated as well? The SES makes sense, but I think the two should be different colours so you can tell them apart. Would making VMR green again be considered?

Green VMR would be great.

Quote from EMS-Chief

The colour was an ask put forward to align with the actual colours for State Emergency Services.

I am unsure what the icon is to be honest.

I assume its to aline with other versions, we have the same icon on our SAR Bases, really bugs me tbh

Quote from ChiefBoden61

not sure if I am missing something but one of the activities requires educating 7 people in Roads Policing Officer... Since I did not see that credential in either the police or Fire Academy I selected traffic control training in the police academy thinking that was one in the same. I tried it with one station and it did not work. However, I see no training for "Roads Policing Officer" anywhere. And before you ask....yes...I do have the extension in place and the vehicles. The extension does not even give you the option to be active or not ready....

Its because they copied and pasted the RPU form UK. The "traffic control" one should do it. EMS-Chief something to flag to devs

Quote from fenrir

Yeah But I feel MVAs/car crases should be more police focused as In my experience Us fireys are only paged to serious MVAs or with possible entrapment/fire

Honestly its rare to have more then 4 engines at even a bad car accident.

Quote from Curiosity03

I do agree that the vehicle requirements are a bit excessive. But I do want bigger and higher paying missions. Requirements for a larger amounts of units mean the credit payout is higher. I would rather send 75 trucks and get 50,00 than send 10 and get 2,000 or 3,000.

Honestly both the US and AU pay is poor and so is this mission considering the requirements actually pays poorly. As I showed in my previous post. The requirements should be lowered without affecting the pay.

Quote from EMS-Chief

The requirements are based on all areas and not specific to one area. Like Curiosity03 said, response protocols will vary.

You may think it is unrealistic, where others do not. At this point, there is really no need to continue stating that.

I don't believe the station requirements are too low. For the call that was posted:

50 Fire Station Requirement for (151 Fire Vehicles Required, including Specialty), that's an average of 3.02 vehicles per station.

40 Ambulance Station Requirement

10 Police Station Required for (28 Police Vehicles), that's an average of 2.8 vehicles per station.

This is a 50,000 credit call, as the community wanted (more higher paying calls), it required a higher and more specialty vehicles to justify such a high credit payout.

Its more the "specialised" units for 50 fire stations. 20 Platform Trucks, 20 Heavy Rescues? That is crazy and unrealistic, considering the requirments I think its on the lower-paying end.

On the uk verison we have this call POLICE.MISSIONCHIEF.CO.UK - Create your own Emergency-Dispatch-Center and manage your city! which pays around 40 thousand and requires 64 Units (less then the required amount of fire engines) - 625 Credits Per Unit on Average

Where as your call requires 183 units (if you included the personnel) which is only 273.2 credits per unit? The Pay is poor considering the requirements so I believe its a poorly implemented mission as it isnt realistic interms of requirement nor very lucrative.

Also 3 Units per Station isnt exactly accurate neither, needs to be increased to 75 fire stations and 20 Police Stations.

JerseyBirds  Curiosity03 I get both of your points but this is honestly extremely excessive and the station requirments are also too low for such a massive call.

Any C1 Job that has not got a specified critical care chance is assumed to be at 100% which seems like a bug. Tagging Alctw10 as somthing to flag to devs. I also checked in the .json file which includes hidden requirements and no critical care score is listed. Its a generic issue happening on all calls form major to single paitent jobs

Quote from EMS-Chief

Type 1 and Type 2 Engines are fire engines, just one seats 6 and the other 3.

Both vehicles fulfill the requirement for "Fire engine" in a mission.

Hey! I think you misunderstood - they are asking why the vehicles are called "engines" and the mission requirement is called "trucks"

Quote from Nigefire

Yes but 10 seconds and 20 seconds on the closest trucks, although trucks further away are also on same delay and also a lot further distance-wise from the job?

That is likely correct but the game also has its quirks like distance/time is calculated in a straight line form missions - stations (not following the roads)

Quote from Nigefire

This is to the brains trust, is it possible to set up an ARR based on truck type eg, which Turns out a Type 2 or Type 3 if they are at a Rural station, At the moment I have local stations being overlooked for structure calls, as it selects type 1's first due to water column or pump volume I imagine and they come few miles/Kms away and the local trucks stay in station asleep?

N.

Do you have a response delay? If you do it factors that in when choosing a unit that is closest by time not distance

Quote from ChiefBoden61

Thanks again, I simply read your post. after re-reading it, I see now the difference. Thanks and Happy New Year.

Happy New Year!

Quote from Nigefire

I think this must be a bug, There is no rural fire extension within the dispatch centre of this area, the nearest Rural Fire extension is 16,000 km away. How can the game generate this without me buying the extension? Is it broken or is this a deliberate push to spend coins to expand or to spend coins to buyout the mission?

This happens because of it being tagged as both “wildfire mission” and “fire fighting mission” so it spawns around both - Other Widlfire Missions dont have the firefighting tag so they spawn onlt around wildfire bases EMS-Chief might be somthing to forward to the devs about this call

Quote from michaelje

You're probably not doing it right (sorry). As you start to expand, you need to look at your set up critically, and start moving your resources around.

For instance, if you start building a city and have 30 stations within a tight cluster, you might have 10 HAZMAT units across them.

Then, you expand out into "the country" and build another 10 stations, but across the same geographical area.

Logically, you now need to move half your HAZMAT units out to these new stations, to have the same coverage (or alternatively, build 10 new HAZMAT units)

I like to play IRL ("in real life") - but there is a limit to that. I built the real-life units at the real-life units, but then add new units where required.

The heatmap in LSSM is brilliant for this!

I know I could have more recesources and I know where they are needed but thats no fun in my mind, I prefer to struggle for major calls

Quote from ChiefBoden61

Helicopters will be sent to hospitals automatically if you have an EMS Chief or EMS Mobile Command on scene. Having another officer that will cost more to train seems a duplication IMHO.

UK GAME - HEMS Works Different here. The Ambulance Officer almost always seems to prefer to dispatch ambulances instead of HEMS as they need a ambulance to treat people (which is one of the stupidest ways they could have implemented it)

Thanks for that information and that is nice to know but I have over 5000 points?

Thats why your a ‘professional’

Begginer 0-300 points Student 301-900 Intermediate 901-3000 Professional 3001-9000

Master - 9000+ (Only Two People Have this role, myself and TACRfan)

Points are based on threads,replys and reactions

Aviation Policing needs to be improved I bought the specialisation and there is only one call that ever spawns and the only misison tagged under avaition policing, a huge mission content pack for aviation would be great

Quote from EMS-Chief

If could provide screenshots, we can bring it up to the devs if it is a bug.

Anyone else having this issue?

Same issue here - the personal request is only fufilled when using the “lifeguard supervisor vehicle” so either remove the requirment or allow the requirment to be fufilled by any car
