Modify some loadouts of paratroopers!

I love the concept of the loadouts changing with each BR range, but I and many others noticed some inconsistencies or weapons that just don’t make any sense considering their BR, I feel like these changes would make people happier and would make more sense:

US / Britain

M1928A1 Thompson 100:

  • M1 Bazooka → M9 Bazooka
  • 2-inch Mortar → M2 Mortar
  • Browning M1918A1 → Browning M1918A2 (This is my opinion but I feel like the BAR / Springfields are fine as is since if you want a high capacity gun, you have the 100rd Thompson, and the Springfield imo is better than M1 Garand Sniper anyways, so I personally don’t think much of it)

Vickers No°2 Mk.1

  • M1 Bazooka → M9 Bazooka
  • Springfield M1903A1 → Lee Enfield No°4 Mk.1 (T) (British squad so why not)
  • 2-inch Mortar → M2 Mortar

Germany / Italy

Krieghoff FG

  • Panzerfaust 60 → Panzerfaust 100
  • Granatwerfer 36 → Kz 8cm GrW 42

FG-42 w/GL

  • MG34 → MG42 (Krieghoff FG gets MG42 so why not FG-42 w/GL as well?)
  • Panzerfaust 60 → Panzerfaust 100
  • Granatwerfer 36 → Kz 8cm GrW 42

Now for the fun one:

OG-43
OG-43 BR 4 → 2 (OG-43 is somewhat on par with MP40 so why shouldn’t it go here?)

–BR3 Loadout–

  • Keep as is, remove Flamethrowers if you believe that is what makes this squad BR4 material, then just make a BR5 loadout.

USSR

This is the one that confused me the most honestly, as I feel these two squads should be equal

Event and Premium paratroopers for USSR

–BR3 Loadout–
“Assault”: DP-27
“Anti-Tank”: Panzerfaust 60
“Mortars”: RM-40
“Scouts”: Sniper SVT-38

–BR5 Loadout–
“Assault”: Either DT-29 or RD-44
“Anti-Tank”: Panzerfaust 100
“Mortars”: BM-41
“Scouts”: Sniper AVS-36

Japan

Type 100

  • Type 11 → Type 96 (Don’t see why Japan shouldn’t get a better MG here honestly)

These are just my personal thoughts, if you have any other ideas of what would be a better change for one of these areas, I’d love to hear it!

should be the type 97 since the 96 is br3 which might put it to br3 and the 97 is pretty much a 96 with less ammo

The loadouts are dependant on the BR of the match you’re in, and many of the low BR para loadouts consist of BR3 equipment (Like the M1A1 Carbine with a BAR), I say Type 96 because it doesn’t slow you down as much + gets a bayonet over a scope alongside +10 rounds in the mag and better recoil

Change the Bazooka to M18/M20 Recoiless Rifle… something that the US paratroopers actually used lmao

If that happens, we’d need equivalents for every country, not to mention those kinda suck honestly past a point, if it does happen, would be BR2-3 material

In short, slap these on an event AT squad :laughing:

Type 11 → Type 96 (Don’t see why Japan shouldn’t get a better MG here honestly)
I agree with this too much. Type 11 is a terrible SMG to live with.

Sure but do we have that in the game?

If the Americans can’t get their hands on a Super Bazooka, the Germans would be better off with a 60 panzer faust and that would suffice

9

If the Devs weren’t lazy hacks…

Panzerfaust 150 would be a close equivalent for the M20, but yeah atm Panzerfaust 60 is the equivalent of US AT
