Long time no post from me, but I have been *loving* the Wegberg mod. I always watched jealously as others played but I knew my German wouldn't be good enough to figure it out so thank-you nodrog1061 for your hard work with the English translation!
I have a series of questions, mostly fluff related but I would appreciate any answers from anyone. With such a 'realistic' mod, I feel it should be played realistically, and so some information on managing a German Volunteer Fire Department would be appreciated!
What is the purpose of the GW-Logistik in the game? It's my favourite unit appearance wise but I never know when to send it or what to do with it?
Similarly the SW2000, how is it different from the (H)LFs and TLFs, what should I be doing with it?
When an alarm comes in, I assume you receive a random number of volunteers. So for things like a 'Feuer 1', when the LF10 is full, what is the most realistic next unit to send. I always lean towards the ELW but feel it could be the DLK or MTF? Or is there no set second vehicle? What about after that?
The HLF is parked behind the RW in the default station - I find myself moving the RW, parking it on the forecourt and then crewing the HLF to send to 'Feuer 2' incidents in particular. Is that realistic? Or would the HLF only attend if the RW was sent as well?
Are German responses to calls really that over-resourced? I feel certainly compared to the UK some of the calls attract a massive call-out, particularly of irrelevant units (TLFs attending RTCs?)
I seem to get a fairly high rate of false alarms, is that normal for others playing the mod?
When I set the old engine up with the Oil Binder 'Tiger' (?) it seems to bug out when the unit arrives on scene and disappear, anyone else have that issue?
When should foam or the other chemical mix be used? Is there a specific task for them in game (car fires?) or is it just for looks?
If I think of anything more I shall post again, but thanks in advance anyone who has a bash at answering my random questions!
