Server Suggestion Add Echo Romeo (ER) unit for ambulances

[northnortheast]

Suggestion Title: Add Echo Romeo (ER) unit for ambulances
Suggestion Description: Add Echo Romeo units 1 and 2 to the paramedic role, potentially in the place of Echo 5 and 6. These units would useful for other emergency services as well as dispatchers to distinguish a medical unit as a full-size ambulance for body clean-up, for example.

This is exactly how it is done with the firefighter units being Hotel and Hotel Romeo, and used to be a feature for paramedics but was removed for an unknown reason.

Repost of suggestion: https://perpheads.com/threads/add-echo-romeo-unit-to-paramedics.68061/
The context has changed as the city has become much larger, response times have increased, and so knowing which units are required for body removal is especially important as journeys take longer.

Why should this be added?:
Organization of units, relatively easy to implement.

What negatives could this have?:
None, unless there's something I'm missing.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Lack of organization or distinction between full sized ambulances and normal medics without body removal capability

I think this is a great idea for dispatch and leo/fire units in service it'll help a lot when dispatching so we can allocate units to certain locations since they're usually faster than the ambulance.

One issue I could notice is when there's no dispatch is that the medics themselves won't assign themselves as Echo Romeo units. Perhaps it should be made as it automatically assigns the callsign too them depending on the vehicle they take/get from the garage?

Overall minor inconvenience or maybe it won't be a problem at all *shrugs* great suggestion tho!

Very needed, its a very simple yet useful feature for dispatch and EMs.

I am pretty sure this use to exist but vanished. I agree it should be added back for easier organising for dispatch purposes

Echo 5 and 6 will become Echo Romeo 1 and 2
