Now now children, Let’s all play nice before we take away your Fire Trucks from you! 😉
This is about Tow Trucks. Remember that all discussions are monitored closely. Let’s discuss things in a proper and peaceful manner before this topic gets locked.
Thank you!
JB
Thanks for posting this. I play daily and I play hard although I am not high in rank or points. I may be dense, but for the record, I have no earthly clue what this "bot " is or how it works. Could you possibly expand on what exactly it is and what it does for those of us (like myself) that don't know. It may help especially to be able to recognize it, should someone in our alliances begins to use it and we ca report it.
Thanks so much
The Dispatch Bot known as Autobot automates the Game. Pretty much programmed to act as a Pkayer while you are away from your PC. It basically plays for you while you don’t have to do anything which I don’t find to be fair at all.
Hello MissionChief Players from All Versions. I would like to take a few minutes of your time to let you know how serious this Dispatch Bot is.
To the Creators/Owners of these Bots, You don’t realize how much this affects the Game in a negative way.
Players purchasing and using this Bot to cheat to gain Credits/Top the Leaderboard and ruins the fun for everyone else who actually want to play. For years we’ve been working on stopping this and every time we get a handle on it there is always someone else who takes over to recreate it to make a profit and corrupt the Game.
If this continues this will eventually cause the Game to lose Players and go downhill which has already begun.
As a Lead Moderator/Administrator and Liaison for the Content Teams I am putting a stop to this!
To the Bot Owners/Players who use it, We know more than you realize so if you don’t want to get banned you need to stop your illegal activities immediately!
This Bot is only going to make matters worse and Players are already giving up cause of the Cheaters in here!
Everybody is having a fit because of Players being taken off the Leaderboard, well I wonder why!
The Moderation Teams and Game Developers wouldn’t have to go with such extreme measures If Players in this game would only just play fair!
So if you think you’re safe with using this Bot then guess again. It’s gonna get shut down!
This isn’t fair to the 90% of Players who want to play!
I don’t want to hear well it’s my game I can play how I want!
When you started playing you agreed to Terms and Conditions that you are breaking which have Consequences!
Consequences have Actions! You all thought we wouldn’t do anything about it which was a big mistake!
To the entire MC Player Community I sincerely apologize for the Cheaters in here. This will get resolved!

Hello there!
Definitely been a long time since I've seen you around. Welcome back!
Yes, Foam Trailers will fulfill the Foam Tender requirement.
As far as ARFF it might but I haven't had to try this myself but I am rather curious.
Which Command Unit requirements are you talking about?
Can we get the fact that there is no category for tow trucks in the AAR fixed?
These things take a little time. Every update there are kinks and bugs that need to be sorted out. The Team and Game Developers are working on getting things sorted.
The AAR will be fixed
Thanks
JB
So I found out the reason for the 3 Firefighters required is because of the Rescue Equipment assigned to a Wrecker. I will see what we can do about this but send another Fire Unit with it if that comes up for the time being.
The AAR has been fixed with the Police Wrecker being in the Coastal Rescue category.
A Wrecker transports 1 Vehicle while a Flatbed Truck transports 2 Vehicles
ok let me rephase this, I have 52 police stations 8 of them right now have 10 jail cells being built in each of the 8 police stations. I can not build more jail cells in the 9th 10th 11th and so on police stations, I have the capital to pay for them but the option to purchase is not high lighting green in the 9th to the 52nd police stations
(This addition if for chief boden 61 since he doesn't understand english well)
Can you send me some screenshots of this so I can see if I might be able to help?
Thanks!
JB
Okay,
Also another thing to take into perspective. Look at the amount of Stations you have total. Fire, Police, EMS and Specialty. Each Specialty Expansion/Stations holds a Small Percentage of chance that a Specialty Mission will pop up.
Say if you have 100 of each Station but only 10 Airport Expansions. Yes 10 is quite a bit of Expansions to have but in a Larger Set-up that's really not a lot.
In order to even remotely see enough Airport Missions for you to utilize your Crash Tenders you would need like half the amount of Airport Expansions compared to your Fire Stations.
I would say for every 10 Fire Stations, 5 of them would need an Airport Expansion. And to notice them even more, Getting the Airport Specialty will make that Station spawn only Airport Missions itself.
So if you had 10 Fire Stations with 5 Airport Expansions AND the Airport Specialty Expansion, Then you will notice Half of your Missions will be Airport Missions.
In other words, The More The Merrier!
It's taken me years to get things pat down for my expansions. It takes a lot of work. So if you want Airport Missions more often, Go for the gusto! 
Hope this helps!
JB
Do you happen to have the Forestry or Foam Expansions to your Airport Station? And if so, Are they also turned on?
In some cases, This will randomly tamper with the Expansions and no Specialty Missions will spawn.
If not, Then this is a totally different issue that needs resolving.
Thanks
JB
I see what you guys are saying, I cannot say much right now but something is in the works to rectify this so all parties are satisfied.
May not come immediately but it is being worked on and I think you'll like it.
I've been listening this entire time. I have an idea that's been passed forward and it's a good one that'll work for everyone!
The EMS Engine Ambulance is used more than you guys realize. And this is a Realistic Unit as different departments utilize it in multiple states.
How it's used is up to that department. Even though it has a water tank it's mostly used for Transporting Patients.
Some have the Ambulance Cab in place of the Crew Cab while others have it at the rear of the Engine and only a Single "Two Man" Cab at the front.
Same goes for the Rescue Ambulance. It's a Heavy Rescue with Ambulance Transport Capabilities. It may not be entirely popular with most departments but it does get used a lot.
The post of it's release in the EMS Update was to bring Realistic Vehicles to the Game. This is a Realistic Unit.
It's only optional. Players do not have to use it if they don't like it.
To be a little blunt, There's no need to make a fuss about it if you guys don't like it. Just don't use it is all. It's only a Game and the Content Teams do their research first before forwarding ideas for implementation.
Sorry to say, This Unit won't be going anywhere 😉
Thank you,
JB
Honestly as stated above.
This is how the game has always been. I see your point in how stations have their staffing in real life and understand players want to be realistic but from a game standpoint this is how it's set.
Unfortunately this will not change. My recommendation is to transfer staff around to other areas you'd like them at.
Thanks
JB
In real life large jobs last hours and hours, so why not have the large missions, last a few hours? No objections here to get the large missions my understanding is you have the resources and more, and also have the option to alliance it of you need.
Because 1. Most Players would object to the length of time it would take to complete. Even though in a good Alliance, it could take hours to complete a Large Scale Alliance Mission, Especially Multiple. So realistically it does happen. Just not Missions on your own. You can do that without needing a Mission to be set that way.
2. From a Game standpoint, It wouldn't look good. I get this is a simulation Game but honestly it wouldn't really sit well with most Players.
I just think its unrealistic when a call requires half the state
You'd be surprised what real life calls could realistically require.
Going to be honest here for a min.
Yes, This game is based off of realism. But! If we went off of realism to 100% like some players do then you two would be waiting hours to days before finishing a Mission.
Eventually you'll have to get a little creative. Any Missions created are based off of real life scenarios and our Missions Team goes over things very thoroughly before submitting newer Missions.
Not to mention in real life how much manpower you'd need.
Overall though, This is a game. We can go off of realism which I'm totally down for. But in the end you'd be waiting longer to finish your Missions.
On a side note I'd appreciate it if the 9-11 comments/comparisons were limited to a low.
Thank you
JB
Yes, that was the mission I had. Problem is, I had 16 trained personnel on scene. All 16 people had both USAR and Technical Rescue training. I also had 3 vehicles on scene that had USAR and Technical Rescue equipment on board. And yet, the game still said I was short.
Screenshot please?
I would report this. I will in the meantime say something to the Devs about this.
Thanks,
JB
I agree this needs to be cracked down on.
Now there's an issue though. There's Players using Dispatch Bots and then there's Players using Macro Keyboards and Macro Mouses. They act similar but you need to switch them on to use the program in some cases.
I have a Macro Board but mine is a Preset Keyboard. I simply press the Preset to select my Units then send them out. I'm sure other have more Advanced Macro Boards however. These have a big impact on the Game. It's like a whole Dispatch Center itself with having the Extra Keys.
Now I can tell Players are using them but until we can figure out how to stop it or track the usage then like VICFire has stated above, Keep playing how you are and let bygones by bygones. I stand by VICFire on this.
It's not fair no but not much can be done. This will eventually be figured out. Until then I suggest Players keep cranking down on their gameplay and not let anyone else ruin the Game for them.
The Leaderboard has changed from time and time again so the competition is still there. And also Players form and go from Alliance to Alliance as they please which also affects the Leaderboard cause one fact is that Players always go for the Winning Teams and unfortunately that will never stop. Alliances are merging with one another in order to stay alive.
Just gotta Overcome and Adapt. That always works!
Thanks!
JB
