Description

  • Available at start with the other basic infantry units.

  • Capable of going prone- while in prone position is stealth when not firing, receives bonus to range and accuracy.

  • Can revive fallen teammates who are nearby to his position; though only infantry killed by bullet-type fire can be revived.
  • Can’t capture flags and depots/ tech buildings.
  • They are worse at using the M16/ AK74 than riflemen / officers.

Usage

  • Medics are a vital part of any squad, they can also revive fallen comrades. Make sure that your squad consist at least 2 of them.
  • Medics are not rushing units, they are support units. So always make sure that they are not in the 1st line of your squad but rather on the back.
  • They can heal infantry nearby them when embarking inside transport and structures. It's a good idea to bring one in a transport with your force to protect him.

Against Infantry

Able to engage but not recommended, they are inferior in shooting in comparison to other infantry like a rifleman. On the other hand, self-healing gives them some kind of advantage. Use prone position to maximize accuracy and range.

Against Tanks

Can engage only jeeps/trucks but with minimum effect.

Against Aircraft

Cannot attack any aircraft nor helicopters, except hovering ones.

Against Buildings

A Combat Medic cannot engage any type of structures.

How to defend against

  • The Combat Medic is weak against any non-infantry unit. Any ground-attack vehicle can take them out easily.
  • Like other specialized infantry classes they are weak against riflemen, officers and machinegunners.
  • Clear them if they're in a building with a rifleman's / officers grenades, a sniper, a RPO Soldier or by using a Humvee Mk19, BRDM2 or Artillery.
  • Defensive structures deal devastating results to infantry.
  • Helicopters and Low-flying planes work well against them.
