This post kinda has a few different topics mostly though just wanted to revel in the paddle killing glory, so if the rest has been covered multiple times ignore it

decided to go after my last vet class badge, medic, and since I only had 3 hours in it, i played it all night...killed one guy in one round 4 times with the paddles, we (US) were getting spawn raped on Karkand with pkms and the other team thought it was safe to just lie down anywhere...that guy lost all his fibs repeatedly, anyone else kill the same guy in one round more times with the paddles?

so i wish we had a "favorite victim of paddling" stat among others

also, just since its my first real endeavor into the world of medic support, is there an etiquette involved in reviving guys? Specifically, I really try to keep everyone around me alive at all times but I have noticed that it is supremely preferable to kill the guy that shot him before I revive…of course I knew this already from experience but was wondering if it really ticked off anyone, as for me, I am happy as hell that anyone even tries to revive me even if I do die right away it is no worse that being punked at my spawn as I seem to be repeatedly these days

also…what is the etiquette on two medics running to revive the same guy? I never feel like I am “Kill Stealing” in this game since I make it a point not to block anyone and if it’s so tight that I do run in front of someone then that’s just battle but tonight I did feel like several times I was literally racing another medic to a corpse, I am glad paddles don’t kill teammates because on a few occasions I would have in my rush to get the shock off

one final word, does PKM stand for “Paramedic Killing Machine?” because it is

No,  but I'll keep trying

Generally, you should clear the area first. If you go lunging in and revive him without checking, chances are there's an APC sitting there with their sights trained on the corpse. If that happens, your team loses two tickets instead of one.
Basically, rule of thumb: if you think you can revive the guy and he will have time to get his senses back and help you kill the enemy, revive then shoot. If the enemy is too close, shoot them first and revive afterwards.

I would say that whoever is closer should do the revive, and whoever is further away should cover the first one. Then again, some people will just try and race past you and 'steal' the revive so they get the points. If that happens, you might want to consider hot-footing it to the corpse just to annoy them (because annoying point whores is fun ).

You're a medic, revive anyone if you think you can do it without dying.

As for the PKM. Nothing I love more than already being prone and killing someone, only to see a medic run over and revive them.

It's basically 3 for 1.

went nuts again as a medic last night, in fact got my best round ever, 205, on a 64 karkand with 32 people in it, but wanted to ask...

paddled a few more people, one guy in particular was manning the mounted 50cal in a hummer, i had just paddled one of his friends and was running from another one as well as trying to dodge his bullets and ran up to the vehicle, got off one zap at the car door before i was shot down...imagine my suprise when i was lieing there dead and noticed that i had killed him

can you kill anyone in a jeep (or maybe just on the mounted gun?) by shocking the body of the vehicle? i know i was no where near him and only got door with the shock
