ALL paratroopers should be BR2 MINIMUM

Russian paratroopers can swap out their equipment to qualify for BR1 matchmaking.The paratrooper box allows the russian paratroopers to consistently use BR3 weapons in BR1.

This is a major balance issue and allows veteran russian players to bypass the BR mechanic to dominate games with new players.

As you can see here, in BR1 the premium russian paratroopers have easy access to DP-27s, panzerfaust 60s, SVT-38 snipers etc etc.

They need to have a minimum BR imposed on them of at least BR2.

It is absurd that the motorcycles and unarmored APCs are BR2 while the paratroopers have no such restriction.

Instead:

ALL PARATROOPERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SWAP EQUIPMENT, AND THUS, CHANGE BR Just like sovs ones.

No reason to lock such a feature to a single faction.

I don’t know about “instead”, thats a totally separate idea. Equipment changing or no, no paratroopers should be BR1 with the current paratrooper box mechanics.

I mean, all paratroopers should have the same features, and also same br.

No faction should bypass balance…

All factions should have Research Paratroopers. Those you can customize

:astonished: Those Bastards… :blush:

The problem is how you restrict them to BR2. Maybe include the plane they spawn in (which could even potentially be customized in the future) which you could then assign a BR to put a minimum BR on the squad.

Probably an oversight.

I heavily requested this feature for months, just for the first paratroopers we get after the Russians to lack this feature…

Makes no sense, faster to develop(no need to model new unique weaponry), and highly desired, it would sell fantastically, or be a massive drive for an event! yet no… so stupid

I would rather them figure out a way for us to make a customized para box…
Maybe by treating it like a vehicle.

It was even worse when they released and you could have used BRV equipment at BR 1-2. Still very imbalanced squad that is able to choose it’s own weaponds and blast low BR tanks with a panzerfaust 60 :thinking:.

Your protest is fake
Level 2 equipment will still encounter level 1 equipment

should be changed to
Paratroopers whose main weapon is an automatic weapon must be at least Level 3
I have lowered my level for the past 3 days to play this game with my new friends.
But it was also found that 6 paratroopers with automatic weapons were too powerful for newbies in a level 1 environment
Because the newcomers don’t have enough skills and equipment to fight against the automatic weapons team that suddenly appeared next to them.

But the No. 60 Iron Fist is a level 3 weapon
It is very normal for him to appear in an environment where there were only 2 categories before.

Sometimes you would be able the see downtiered BR 3 players at low tiers, but the power gap is still way too much between BR 1-2 to BR 3.

It’s literally cheating the BR system to choose BR 2 load out for paratroopers… only to use BR 3 weaponds with out any draw backs.

Just like RD44 in low BR when they were first released?
They basicly already had the exact same problem with those already.

Level 2 equipment can effectively fight against level 3 equipment
But most people are unwilling to accept this

You can use a bolt action against stg user grazy theory right… That wasn’t my point, BR3 get access to very strong vehicles, mgs and grenade launchers. They will have much easier time against low BR players and thats s fact. Normal sherman tank suddenly turn into a heavy tank when it gets downtiered.

The problem is that level 2 tanks and anti-tank launchers can effectively penetrate the Sherman
Cougar is also effective against KV1

The grenade launcher has a malicious bug that hasn’t been adjusted for nearly a year.
And the positioning of weapons is also different
They are not capable of suppressing the enemy at close range (they will be blown up by themselves)
Most of the time it can only be used to ambush players with poor skills and coordination and to suppress enemies behind bunkers.
don’t forget
The US military does not have level 3 anti-tank grenade rifles
They just have the worst high explosive grenades
If one of the six bullets explodes, you are considered lucky.

As for the submachine gun?
I can’t see the difference
To some extent most level 2 submachine guns are probably better than level 3

This cannot be compared
Only monkeys would equip a large number of hand-pulled weapons in high-end rooms to poison friendly troops.

In your eyes, is the difference between level 2 and level 3 that big?
