meade95 0 Posted May 13, 2011 I've noticed (it seems) that friendly AI units (with a medic among them) tend to be KIA much more often than my unit (commmanded by me). Now, with my Unit I almost always us the "first aid modules". Is this why? It just seems my controled units will have more often WIAs not so many KIAs. Yet I look at the other friendly Units involved in an Operation with me...and then tend to have a much higher % of KIA among them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted May 13, 2011 If the other squads don't have the first aid modules with them then that would explain it. Your guys get hit and roll around on the ground where as the other ones get hit, get wounded, and then keep getting shot at or the initial hit kills them.

maturin 12 Posted May 13, 2011 And you don't here the complaints when units in other groups are hurt or healed. There is actually a reasonably good WIA/KIA ratio in this game. The difference is that most wounds are completely ignored by everyone, as opposed to a whole huge operation with medevac choppers, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I've read that vanilla AI (if a medic is part of the team) automatically work to heal themselves and no "First-Aid Module" is needed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted May 13, 2011 Medics can heal injuries without the first aid module. The FAM extends the wounded behaviour and gives you a state between 'living' and 'killed'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know. I guess I just don't often (if ever) see AI medics tending to men during or after firefights. I tend to see my unit if wounded (still alive and patched up). But my fellow friendly AI units tend to have a much higher % of KIA. (and I make sure to put a medic within each fireteam). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted May 15, 2011 If you are the commander of the team you must order the medic or anyone else to administer aid to a subordinate who has received damage and is either 'wounded' (has less that 100% hit points and other regular damage ie shot arms or legs), or is in the state of what BIS calls 'agony' and is losing blood and requires first aid (from any unit) or else it will die in a certain amount of time.

Laqueesha 474 Posted May 15, 2011 I like to use the first aid module with the BLUFOR and with no first aid module with the OPFOR, to simulate the kill ratio of BLUFOR casualties to OPFOR casualties in reality; which is roughly around 50:1, if I recall correctly.

meade95 0 Posted May 15, 2011 I understand about directing my subs to get first aid (within my unit). I guess I just don't notice / see other friendly AI BluFor units peforming first aid on wounded men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted May 15, 2011 They have a tendency only to order their medics to heal seriously wounded people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
