And yes , the game gave him the wound badge.

I don't have a screenshot to prove it though.

Yeas, that's precisely what happens.....but only on occasion...most frustrating at times when they're suddenly 'killed off'.

Seems rather contradictory...

I can see it if the crewman was critical prior to arrival, but it seems silly to suddenly lose him when he might have made it if you had stayed out, (away from the hospital), for a little while longer.

Could it be that they are crippled up, and mustered out of service?

Not a bad way to look at it I suppose...

If you tell yourself this then you don't have to feel 'cheated' by the sudden loss.

One of the big positives when the game was first released was the fact so much was left to individual perceptions and interpretations, coupled with a good variety of game options that meant everyone could more or less play the game to their liking.

Never forget the game engine is well over five year old now and could well have died a while ago had it not been for the modding community.

If it weren't for the modding community, this game would have died within a year or less.
95% of what I do with this game is tinkering with the files; this is the reason I like PC games over "console" games so much.

Yes very flexible in that regard. Probably a major contributing factor in its longevity (in addition to all the great work by the modding community).

Can't say I totally get your meaning here. Looking at it in context, if the lack of full/proper medic implementation was a shortcoming when the engine was new, how is remembering the deficiency is five years old going to help?

When in development it was close to release and there was an outcry from the community for a dynamic campaign so Ubi deferred release and most if not all efforts were centered on said demand.

I called it the "Great Mutiny".

Possibly the last time the community was listened to...possibly?

If that's the case, shame they never fixed the medic with a patch...

A lot of things were corrected with the final patch (1.4b) but the issue with the medic wasn't one of them.
