Make the ai support people more supportive

[Raw 0]

Have you tried rearming, refueling or repairing?

It's a mess, usually it consists of ordering the support people who is supposed to do it out of their vehicles, jump in yourself, drive up to your vehicle, switch to your vehicle, order repair/rearm/refuel, get out, drive the support vehicle away, order the personel back inside it and get back into your own vehicle.

This is not exactly optimal or realistic. I want to be able to land a chopper, order the mechanics in and they'll refuel, rearm and repair the chopper and I'll be ready for another mission. I don't want to run all around the airport doing it myself.

If I leave a vehicle around the mechanics, they should start to fix it up without me having to tell them, at least if it's in a friendly base.

The same goes for AI medics. When there are wounded around, they should help them unless specifically told not to. It is their job, they should be able to handle it.

When an AI unit has a specific purpose, a specific task, it should be able to do it on its own initiative.

It's a good idea, but I rarely use the support feature - I thought the AI already drove to your location when you called them.

Yeah, they drive to me, but they either park to far away or sturt bumping my vehicle until either vehicle is destroyed or just drive around trying to decide where to stop.

They should be able to do that kind of micro management without my intervention...

I got run over by an ambulance once when i was crawling around. Quite ironic really.

Just imagine the medic jumps out the back

"Wheres our casualty then"

(moans from under the ambulance)

"Oh"
