PEB14 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I've read on the forum that several people use their IC/XO Teams as medics. I do the same ("friendly mop-up" ). But I'm wondering wether it's so good an idea. As a matter of fact, ammo sharing is performed only between units in the same platoon. In the IC/XO Teams case, that would mean that ammo sharing would be performed only with the HQ unit, which isn't very useful! What is your feedback?

chuckdyke Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 You can buddy aid any casualty and pick up his ammo. I don't think using IC/XO as medics is a good idea. Within the limitations of the game I rather use the team of the casualty. They are more probably nervous or even rattled so not ideal for a combat situation. First secure the area you can pop off the unit who performs buddy aid. Â 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brille Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I usually buddy aid with those unit of the same platoon. Otherwise I let those buddy aid that need the extra ammo or a special weapon/equipment that has been lost. Buddy aid is usually not the job of a squad. (at least if there are only single woinded/dead troopers in one square) If possible I split a scout team off, they gather the equipment and later rejoin the squad again. This way I have my main firepower up front without sending to many men back. Sometimes I let the casualties be for a while and use them once some units ran out of ammo. Much like little ammo depots. Once I kept a fight running with my syrian airborne troops this way. Most forces were low on ammunition and some even depleted. I ran back and forth, buddy aiding with those in need to have something to fight back with.    0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEB14 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 Thanks a lot gentlemen, basically you confirm my doubts. Buddy aid is for guys who will use the weapons ammo, NOT for back-up units like Company HQ or XO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I like @Brille's advice. There are times though when just a regular squadie is hit and the squad has a job to do. Then I let them move on an have an HQ unit, sometimes the XO, do the buddy aid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
