New class: paratroopers

[Serpiko82]

You only need ONE AA gun and a player that keeps an eye on the sky, and every drop plane that follows is free XP.

I’m going to have so much joy shooting them out of their parachutes with AA.

[Conscript_Joe]

I strongly suggest to the devs to make this new pack’s sale last LONGER, so that we have time to know what’s what before buying.

As of now, there’s no way I’ll buy it… Because

@James_Grove

A lot of questions regarding rework will be answered at the end of april, it’s all i can say to you in current time.

I know it’s April. But not all of us are fools

How many player really build AA gun to shoot down planes(except for AI bomber ) nowadays?

[Shiivex]

Alot of us do. Specially when we play with other people

TLDR a humble rally point can provide all the benefits of a paratrooper class, with next to no downsides.

that’s the thing with the likes ( or rather, people that thinks just like you )

it’s not about efficency, but rather being able to play with whatever you want.

it’s about choices.
and more choices are always good.

the ability to select.

beside,

@Serpiko82

• Grey zone. What happens if you miss the playable area? Chances are, you will be teleported to standard spawn, nullifying the surprise factor.
• Inbound journey. How far will the drop plane spawn? It can’t just appear over the battlefield. And during all the way, A) you risk being intercepted and squad-wiped, B) you aren’t on the ground fighting.
  And rest assured, as soon as red team realizes someone is using paratroopers, AA guns will be popping up like mushrooms after the rain.

as rightfully so.

because, part of the choice.

which we can then later retweak or let the players decide their faith based on their choice.

[BandytaJeden]

Always

Some high level player can represent the whole player base? Average player rarely do that.

[Shiivex]

Ence why the Alot of us.

It’s like shovels.
I find them useless.
I see Alot people using them

I represent no one. I just notice what I see or use.

As guns are based. And will be even more since bombing runs, para planes and enemy planes are a thing.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

i mean, unironically, there’s at least 1 or 2 AA built in EVERY game.

no matter the skills.

( yet, less rallies figures their priorities i guess )

[Conscript_Joe]

Even alone, I do it. If I’m controlling an engy.

I hear the “commander” or narrator say “guys, we’ll get bombed”

I build my shiny canon and wait with glee.

they would be actually much more useful if you didnt need to spend 5 minutes to level the surface to build rally points in them…

[Shiivex]

Agreed

Or have pre made structures like eng hammer.

Build a trench with a template would be dope

A bit over exaggerated? I rarely saw AA gun in most of the match.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

you can watch my replays and i can guarantee you the exageration is yours.

or rather, downplay the numbers.

unironically, i was also joking with a friend about making the quad AA gun noise as a rington since we always hear it.

it’s not enlisted without one.

[BandytaJeden]

Melee speed perk increases dig speed.
Not much but something.

Also get high jump on Berlin engineers to build rallies in best spots

@Serpiko82

They’ll be teleported to standard spawn as pilots.

@Serpiko82

How far will the drop plane spawn?

That’s a hard question, but it’s appearance will definitely not be notified as an air raid so most of players unlikely will notice it quickly.

[Shiivex]

I see aa guns on alot of games

Or all custom lonefighters matches… All of them

I said except for the AI bomber since it can bring much more point.

[robihr]

it is not about speed… it is about stupid mechanic that doesnt level the ground when you dig. you can spend minutes trying to make ground level enough to build rally point, but cause of some “obstacle” or angle you cant build the rally point.
