Ambulance lockdown ability?

I think the ambulance is too easy to kill. It’s the easiest healing source to kill out of all the factions. One shot is enough to wipe it out. Now I understand that’s balanced in regards to forward fallback points, however at the base sector itself it’s still a one shot kill which is ridiculously easy to abuse.

Can the ambulance gain an ability to lockdown in the base sector only to increase its resistance to AT fire or gives it more health? Something like two to three tank shots to kill?

Although off topic the argument makes little sense.

Werfer Armor:
20/10 Health: 160

Kati Armor:
7/5 Health: 160

Both units have very low Armor and increasing kati HP would mean it would need 2 rounds from a tank to die making allot "tankier" than wefer/stuka.

Now that Handbrake exists I think the ambulance should probably adopt it. Have it always activate the healing aura when stationary and lock down with Handbrake. That'd make it a little easier to micro in a field support role.

Meanwhile katy has less than half the armor but ok.

I don’t see any real problem there but I’m just pointing out the inconsistency of the argument.

U might as well rename the thread to rocket arty...
BTW I think the ambulance should just get a health increase by default to be generally tougher to get rid of, even on the field... nothin big that would make u wanna use it for scouting purposes, but just to survive one AT/tank shot

It would be nice if a random stray tank shell didn't kill the Ambulance in my base forcing me to toss away 250 more manpower for healing.

My objection was to proposed solution of increasing HP, that would make kati far more "tankier" than weffer since it would be able to survive a shot from most ballistic weapons.

I doubt that the cases that the "superior" armor of weffer made any difference are noticeable.

Can we go back to ambulance now?

If it only comes down to the problem of base healing in the base I think a much simpler solution to the problem would be a medic upgrade for the HQ at 250 manpower, same as the Soviets, just with a bigger range as to cover the huge ass circle of sandbags.

I am but a noob, but could a solution be to have the ambulance "deploy" like a medic bunker or one of the OKW trucks, with the option to "go mobile", each conversion taking 10-15 seconds or so?

Edit: Just to be clear, with the implication being that when it's deployed, it has higher resistances and HP, but when it's mobile it might as well be made of paper mache.

Nope, game doesn't have an undeploy state for whatever reason, if it did we would have the ability to pack up OKW HQ trucks and move them, at least in mods.

If it deploys it stays there until destroyed, they went with the only possible solution of being mobile while also "locked down".

One can probably use the Ostheer opel truck mechanism if one want to achieve that effect.

A permanent lock-down ability to deploy like an OKW truck/HQ to give the ambulance a ~300% HP increase would be a good change, so it can't be baserushed as easily. It would have to be restricted to deploying inside the base sector though. It would be too powerful as a forward medic station.

Or it should be able to deploy anywhere but its healing abilities would have to receive penalties (when deployed): reinforcement cost/time penalty (similar to OKW forward retreat point) and healing should become model-based instead of an aura. Trade some utility for survivability.

As previously mentioned: I am but a noob, so this is a genuine question.

Does target size affect stuff like "attack ground" or artillery attacks?

I also have a similar question. Is attack ground subjected to the same accuracy/scatter modifiers as a regular shot?

As far as I know.

Target size is only used for accuracy checks that involves small arm fire and ballistic weapon.

Attack ground probably does not use accuracy checks at all since it the target is the ground.

The scatter modifier seem be lower but my vary from weapon to weapon.
