Defaults
While it's up to the Zeus to change the mission Parameters, the default settings give a challenging situation.

Medical settings
One of the biggest changes on the defaults is the change to the PAK. The PAK can no longer be used anywhere in the field. Reasoning behind it, is that the usage of PAK is considered OP (Over Powered) on the battlefield. Reason behind this is that when a PAK is used, all injuries, blood levels, broken limbs, are all fully healed.

If we take the name Personal Aid Kit and compare it to any well known Personal Aid Kit, it is known that a Personal Aid Kit should not fix broken limbs in 2 minutes. The requirement to visit a medical vehicle or facility to fix broken limbs will require the Zeus to place down a medical facility or vehicle with the objective.

This adds multiple layers of team-play to the game and will open the routes to medical evacuation situations as well as more engaging team-play.

The time spend to get to a medical facility or vehicle, and returning to the battlefield is considered more fair including the fact that everyone can use a Personal Aid Kit to heal broken limbs, and technically also use the surgical kit because the default settings changes everyone to medic, and the medic to doctor.

Engineer settings
With the latest update to Arma which includes cleaning up live ammunition and mines, the engineer role is crucial. But you will need to take the correct gear with you for this.

Every player has the engineer role by default, any Pilot or Tank operator has had a better training at engineering stuff, so they are more efficient. But even you as foot-soldier should be able to clean up any left ammunition by defusing it.
