martijntjuh Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) it seems that the firefighters pick the Hydrants first, if there are no hydrants available anymore that they will connect to the truck.

Biggest joke in EM5 is connecting hoses to the RW, Rüstwagen is vehicle without pump and water tank, it is similar like the american Rescue truck, big heavy truck with many rescue equipments but zero water.

the wolfhunter Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I sew it in some videos where the firefighters connect the hoses to the hydrants insted of th fire truckes and this annoys me, cuz as a firefighter (with the israeli fire service) i can tell u that u can't connect a hose to a hydrants and spray water from it, its just impossible, so if someone can pls find a way to make the firefighters in EM 5 connect the hose to the fire truck first it would be great cuz its driving me crazy seeing it.

Not true. the fire trucks used in EM 5 as heavy rescue do have water (about 3000 liters) they are similier to the kind used in my local fire station and i can promise u it does have water.

mariuswww Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 we use the german fire trucks here in israel, and u can trust me when i tell u they do have water in them. This game isnt set in Israel... In Germany a RW doesnt have water. It might in your country but not in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlovetto22 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah, they do it randomly it seems. I've tried to edit the specs file hydrant distances.. (I think that's what it was) but they wouldn't connect to standing hydrants or dynamic hydrants at all. The "use dynamic hydrants" is set to true by default for me so I don't know what they meant by making it more interesting when they don't use them but ever so often.

DavidPhilp Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I changed the usedynamichydrants line to false, but it seems to have no effect. My firefighters are still looking for hydrants. Anyone else have this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlovetto22 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 If you change it to false they'll never connect to the truck. True lets them do it occasionally. I guess we'll have to wait for mods. :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Uppgren Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 If you change the hydrant type from FIXED_HYDRANT to VEHICLE_HOSE_CONNECTOR on both the normal hydrant and the hydrant_ground they tend to choose the vehicle if it's closer. I'll check it out more tomorrow, night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 we use the german fire trucks here in israel, and u can trust me when i tell u they do have water in them. We in our beatiful Czech Republic also use german fire truck, and most if this trucks are Ladders, Rescues or Hazmats and Supports, if that vehicle is from German does not mean that carry the water. Similar type of FIRETRUCK to the EM5 scania, different chassis, photo from poland. Old GERMAN FIRE TRUCK from Israel New GERMAN FIRE TRUCK from Czech Republic show me where is the water, Allah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theparanoid Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 So those saying german resuce trucks have not water tank? What are you basing this on? I ask because that those not jib with what I know. 1. I have talked with a real german fire fighter, in fact I translated for a Volunter fire fighter from the US and the german fire fighter. They ask and compared notes on many of topics. From how departments where staffed, equipment and so on. It also include a tour of all the fire equipment. 2. I been to german and have seen fire trucks from germany.3. I speak and can read german some german. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_fire_servicesRescue engines, the Hilfeleistungs-Löschgruppenfahrzeug (HLF). Similar to the engine (LF) but with far more rescue equipment (i.e. Jaws of Life and a winch) on board.Which links tohttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfeleistungsl%C3%B6schgruppenfahrzeugFahrzeugdatenAbkürzung: HLF 10Land: DeutschlandBesatzung: 0/1/8/9Feuerlöschpumpe: FPN 10-1000Löschwasser: mind, 1.000 LiterSchaummittel: 6 x 20 LiterZul. Gesamtmasse: 12.000 KilogrammAntrieb: Straße/AllradFor those that do not read german. Löschwasser = extinguishing water or water. and Feuerlöschpumpe is fire extingiusing pump..... So Why or why would a German rescue truck of a pump and tank if they do not carry water? Or perhapes you like to share where you get your knowledge from.....

cola75 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 theparaniod you are talking about a Rescue Engine the Hilfeleistungs-Löschgruppenfahrzeug (HLF). Similar to the engine (LF) but with far more rescue equipment (i.e. Jaws of Life and a winch) on board. which is different to an RW.. A Rescue truck, the Rüstwagen (RW).Usually either a larger panel truck or a smaller truck, they are equipped with a broad range of rescue gear i.e. Jaws of Life, a winch, saws, cutters or work platforms and does not carry water. . I think the Heavy Rescue in EM5 (which is the vehicle that can connect hoses to) is technically incorrect, as it resembles an RW, not a HLF.. The hoses should connect to the Water Tender in the game IMO.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause.....let say your right that they want it to be ruestwagen..... https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%BCstwagenFahrzeugdatenLand: DeutschlandBesatzung: 0/1/2Löschwasser: 9 LiterLöschpulver: 6 KilogrammHilfeleistungssatz: vorhandenZul. Gesamtmasse: 14.000 KilogrammAntrieb: AllradOhh look....9 liter tank........well gee look at that......And it a Ruestwagen..... Maybe the guy that talk to a german fire fighter knows what he talking about. Note I am not saying ever one has it... or even most. But I am saying there are German Rustwagen that have water and pumps. For starts equipment form DDR almost always had it because they did not have as good of hydrant system. Also not every fire department in Germany is in city with hydrants...... which means all the trucks need to have some ability to fight fires. Even more so when said department are volunteer departments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so when said department are volunteer departments. I think in that info, it is referring to a 9 litre water fire extinguisher, not a water tank.. 9 litres is the size of a bucket, hardly a tank.. It would be Fire Water 9lts and Dry Powder 6kg.. However, I'm certainly not trying to argue and not disputing you have more knowledge on this matter.. I was just saying, that it is very strange for a dedicated Rescue Truck (as it implies to me in EM5) to have a water tank and pump as opposed to an Engine (Rescue Engine) with rescue capabilities.. Anywho, apologies for getting off topic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
