Suggestion Description: Give medics faster cars!!!

Why should this be added?:

I definitely agree on this, as it would be very great for the city and first response. Very good idea.

I was considering multiple things to tackle this: increasing max EMS slots and also increasing how long it takes to blackscreen if not finished off. Tweaking the vehicle speed alone won't change much I'm afraid

I think it would certainly make it a little more fun to be paramedic if nothing else, especially on the massive highways of v6

since the map is alot bigger, i feel like the ems cars need to be faster - i mean it takes long to go from regals to that new apartment building in business for example, in v5 it was quite easy to do as there wasnt much turns, and it makes it hard for EMS to do theyre job atp

I agree if it's only tweaked a little, but if the Specialist Audi is given a substantial speed boost instead, driving across the map to revive someone in the forest for example might be a lot more reasonable. It's definitely hard to think of simple solutions with how big the map is though. More EMS while something, doesn't guarantee a major difference.

I think a huge buff for the Specialist Audi speed in collaboration with an increased time to revive on unconscious bodies would be a great place to start. Too bad we don't have Medic helicopters.

as there are higher posted speed limit throughout the map, we would like to try and increase the power/speed of a few high-ranking job vehicles

I think maybe bringing the paramedic audi down to advanced, and adding a porsche cayenne for practitioner and above?

Edit: perhaps also limit the number of the porsche cars available to one, or two with a mayor policy.

Speed that road crew truck up for some added carnage please!

Honestly, the vehicle that needs a speed boost would be the courier truck, the big one. I get it's not meant to be a rocket, but it's max is something silly like 45MPH. That won't do on a highway.

One issue is with body clear up, slums 6 and down to the ambulance with 6+ bodies is not fun!

Also please look into making Firefighter's more effective in case Medic's get stuck with their longer response times since both jobs work best when cooperating together. Maybe increase the limit where you can CPR someone so a person can be stabilized just a bit longer.

In addition to what Allen Kennedy said, A new faster van for body removal would compliment this very much for a rank or two above the standard, so it gives people more of an incentive to actually drive something which can move bodys instead of nee nawww nee nawww I go fast vroom vroom
