It's a tough ability to make use of, does anyone have advice when using it? Other than I guess popping smoke when you use it?

Feels like FD should be about 5 cheaper for all units, and for engs it should be 5mu.

For me it was something usefull as like barsquads or flamers for you know that you are gonna use them against inf but popping smoke with the american officer and then using the ability was most usefull but for units like full package ranger squads from what i saw just got carbines when they were revived and they did not drop zooks when "killed",
use it with the american officer for smoke and it works fine but not for units like zook squads for they allways die and leave no bodys when they get gibbed,
well i did find a neat trick tough that you could just mortar an unupgraded rangersquad and then heal the full packaged ranger squad with the downd unupgraded ones but as i said they only get carbines when revived but it still works for SMG squads if they do not go under 4 men and then you are able to keep those smgs for a long time.

these seriously need a price reduction, they are horrid, very very rarely do you actually get the chance to use them successfully. Have these ever turned the tides of a battle at all? I think they are a very neat concept, but I feel they just don't work. Anyone else use them and have a different opinion on them?

I think it should be free, as 1 your lucky if a downed man is only wounded, and not killed/gibbed. And getting off the fd is a miracle in itself. Either that or fix it so it teleports the wounded to them and alive.

Problems: 
1) you can only get to use when you have a 'wounded' man.
2) it takes too long to revive that man.

Fixing 1 would be nice so you can use it on the 'dead' soldiers too, making sure you dont waste the investment.
Fixing 2 would be nice so that you can use it a lot better during combat. RUN/SPRINT to your fallen buddy.

I think it should just revive the fallen guy straight away, then he runs back to the squad or something.

they should receive some kind of incoming acc. nerf for 5-10s after popping the ability for balance.

[Mister Schmidt]

Yeah I guess, but it definitely needs buffing.

Btw spinn I've pmed you about making a company for the scenario, can you reply please?

[Groundfire]

It needs to be "touch and go" tag or something. First guy that reaches the downed man revives him, otherwise it just takes too long and your squad gets shot to death.

Id like to see the remaining squad members provide some kinda fire support or something instead of them all running to get the wounded member.

[sgMisten]

Yea could use some tweaks. Usually end up with more casualties using FD due to being exposed to enemy fire. Very rare to actually control the battlefield to be able to pop the FD safely.

Plus a lot of weapons kill the soldier, so FD is difficult to use.

[Hicks58]

Wouldn't it be ideal if FD would simply allow the downed member to pick himself back up? Granted, not too realistic, but hey, we have people being healed by buildings by standing in a dotted circle.

Or, a potential replacement for FD... Instead of picking up a member off the ground, purchase of the FD replacement would allow a squad to reinforce up to 2 men at a Triage centre. Same effect, and you dont have to run into enemy fire to get your two guys back. As well as this, it balances it out a bit cause you cant just instantly replenish your guys in a fire fight, you have to go back and get them back. You can also cut the ability completely short by prioritising the destruction of the enemy's Triage.

[pqumsieh]

Seeing as you lose control of the squad during the ability it seems in line with previous balance decisions to provide the squad with -50% incoming damage and -25% recieved accuracy during the maneuver.

I also really like hicks' idea!

i really really like this idea tbh, if this was the case i feel that maybe even the current prices would be justified. lets say you can reinforce at a triage or your spawn point. i also have 2 T3s that "help my field dressings, but tbh it still isn't that useful. I mean I get 3 uses with the field dressing and I've only ever been able to use all three once on a ranger squad.

Hicks stole my thunder

[Hicks58]

[Hicks58]
