jerome Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 A squad is a mini rescue that runs hazmat, But can work as an Engine or Ladder company if its needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unit 42 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 For the siren, with trucks that may have Q's or anything close to that (Squad 18 has one if you put it in there), can we wind those up ourselves by just pressing a button or does it only work with Whelen, Pa300's, etc?

JimmyKid Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Will there be automatic alarms? Like (not sure if real) if a smoke detector goes off, all you would get is unknown fire. If so, would there be false alarms, and a panel to reset the system? (I believe this is in the winterberg mod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't possible unless EM4 has a pitch parameter for its sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonCressler Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 they probably won't have Q's that you can manual use but i'm sure it'll be layered in there and besides NY uses Eq's not as exciting as a normal Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick9894 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 yea most NYC rigs cant use the Qs because especially in Manhattan, it makes a terrible echo between the buildings and im pretty sure they wont let them use em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakethejake Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Wow, you dudes must play a totally different style than I do. I would never have time to wind the Q up! I am waaay too busy dispatching my units and tying up loose ends from the other incidents to ever use the Q manually. I am glad that we will be dealing with only one incident at a time. Today I had an arsonist that my cops couldn't capture, an exploded gas pipe, and then was hit with an earthquake. It was insane! And not really too much fun. Granted, I was playing on hard, but you guys get the idea......I am hoping for a little more sanity with this mod. It seems like we will be getting inside buildings more, and they have said that the map will be smaller, but I am wondering how I am gonna manage all the firefighters and equipment in this game. In the LA Mod there are no hydrants to hook up to, you hit rapid deploy and instant water. Nobody gets tired, nobody runs out of air, and for the most part, nobody is inside a building. A 10-75 will get me roughly 54 people (4 Engines, 3 trucks, 1 Rescue Co, 1 Squad Co., 2 Battallion Chiefs). That is a lot of people for one person to have to manage. I am very interested to see how they pull this off. As for the sirens? I'd be happy with automatic, like we have now.I'm looking forward to playing this mod. I'm hoping that that will be sooner rather than later....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that that will be sooner rather than later.......Haha , good one! I agree with you, sometimes the game can be overwhelming, the best is when around fires, cars catch fires and blow away a whole traffic jam .I am interested in the people management as well. As far as I know, that's why they dispatch a BC for every alarm (plus extra for higher alarms), so that one cheif doesn't have to coordinate large amount of people, only that I will not plug in another mouse and keyboard for my friends in case of a 2nd alarm .Probably they will change the dispatch system from 4-2 to (I don't know) 1-1, I think that would be gamewise more realistic.Will see, still can't wait to play with it .

Granted, I was playing on hard, but you guys get the idea......You're only going to have one emergency at a time in this mod and the next one won't start until everything with the current emergency is finished up, so you'll have more time for role playing. What I'm wondering is how the EMS and PD calls will be extended, obviously the fire calls you'll have to vent the building, choose the hose lines, etc., but I can't think of anything for PD or EMS.

MoonCressler Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 have you played the RTS mod? it has in depth medical stuff after awhile it gets a little routine but you still get some exciting ones...but that proves you can have in depth medical stuff.....And for PD they could add crime scene investigation as in the Berlin mod it doesn't extended it a ton but it give you a few more scenarios like homicides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
