Re: shock paddles

Ya, that was an addition with the patch. Also if you throw down med packs and then try to bring out your paddles you may not be able to.

From www.secretsofbattlefield.com
Paddles DO reload while not in use, however their charge characteristics have been changed as follows.
- Medic Packs and Defibrilators now share a "charge"
- You carry 3 medic packs and have 4 shocks (if you shock one after the other)
- If you shock once and switch to the medic pack, you will have 2 medic packs left. They will still slowly regenerate, but what this means is.
- You can't spam Medic Packs and then expect your defibrilators to be charged.
- After 4 shocks with your paddles there will be about a 2 second wait before the paddles begin to charge back up.

Re: shock paddles

yes it is, they did not intend this result. They linked the paddles to the medpack, if you throw down all your medpacks, you cant use the paddle. Its stupid, I liked the pre-patch way far better.

I've had the odd thing of grabbing a medic kit to revive a friendly and it'll suddenly revive him the second i switch to the medic kit.

Re: shock paddles

I was going to ask why I could revive some and could not revive others. I did not know the medic bags and the shock paddles were connected. I understand when a black cross is over the solder he is dead and a white cross means he is critically injured. There was alot of times the shock paddles would not work for me.

Is there a secret, because I thought as long as you touched some part of their body they could be revived. There is not much time, so you have to know what the h*** you are doing.

Re: shock paddles

Ace, same happens here, I think it is something to do with dead units simply being glitched, e.g if a part of them is inside a building or a fence then they can't be revived, most annoying when your chasing them down a hill also, sometimes zapping the pack doesn't work

Yea, the new patch has not improved things paddle wise, its a pain, sometimes you can just sit there waiting for the paddles to work again and in that waiting time you usually die *sigh*
