ElliotLH I find the deployable cover very situational. It sometimes is hit and miss to get correct placement. If the victim is out in te open on a flat surface it works, but I still would accompany it with smoke grenades. Too few medics use them because they don’t want to give up offensive capabilities.
I typically run the smoke launcher in combo with incendiary grenades when playing medic. I use the smokes to conceal the revive and the incendiary to block the path of the suspected threat.
Yes, that's a definite drawback to the shield. I sometimes swap it out with the smoke launcher if I want to mix things up or try encouraging my team to push up. Occasionally I'll pull out the mortar, too, but generally only towards the end of those matches where we're attacking and get stuck on the first sector.
