New class: paratroopers

I think paratroopers should have a larger battle area (be able to go into the greyzone to an extent). This would be a good counter to greyzone camping tanks.

will there be paratroopers in the regular tree in a future update

For those who think that the parachute troops will only be for premium, the announcement of the update itself ensures that not only. I’m sure they’ll be just as available as a motorcycle squad in the Tunisia campaign.

As for utility, anti-aircraft guns will grind mushrooms in a blue sky.

I take issue with them being able to be equipped with any gun tbh
Just another uber meta squad then

the balance is that the equipment crate can land on the enemy’s side and from what I understand from the update description it’s one item per soldier. So one will take the PIAT grenade launcher, the other the M1919, and the third the hammer. So a bit of realism because the specialist equipment for the paratroopers was dropped separately.

If that’s the case and they just get their basic stuff in the drop I think my issue with it is moot.
:+1:
Though like someone else said I hope there’s a time limit or just a communal group of para planes like BFV so its not just a constant clusterfuck of Ju52s and C-47s lmao

Airplanes with paratroopers will be an easy target. The hunt for flying mushrooms will begin in the same way.

“Shooting at helpless paratroopers while they are in the air is illegal, from the Geneva convention.”

Me: “welp. One war crime more or less, what’s the difference?”

Airborne troops are not protected by the Geneva Convention, and besides, the point about not shooting evacuating crew was added in the 1970s.

Are they going to be just a premium unit or will there be normal units of the same, since there are several squads that are paratroopers

That might go for the germans after Crete but American Airborne where jumping up until the end of the war. So the sake of gameplay all paratrooper units should be able to use the jump mechanic.

it’s sad that when we wait for something like this for a while they bring it to the game as a premium, and there are many premiums they put that even today are on the line of oblivion, without comment…
and it’s not a lack of options, war thunder is full of vehicles that could easily be premium yes here too because they are premium there in war thunder, now putting free vehicles as premium only shows that they need money but they are doing it wrong because clearly few people are buying it precisely for the reason i said, they are expensive vehicles that will become obsolete, not something you see in war thunder for example, various versions of the KV2 itself, Churchill mk3 seized and german custom, they are simple things and would please everyone also because the same kv2 that is German premium can be obtained not only with premium
there are several options that you unlock with special tasks and progression in the pass and it’s not just for the armored ones, it’s for cosmetics for everything, putting together everything I said exactly what I mentioned above to bring only what is really premium in your game and give these options for a fair price, will please a lot of people who don’t even have market support and who have to base themselves on dollar and euro prices, which by the way is absurd the price, with the value of the calliope I buy several Resident evil 4 here in Brazil, but they prefer to put vehicles that become obsolete with the player’s progression and innovative things like the paratrooper class or new mechanics as a premium… which is very sad in my point of view related to the game that I like and that’s why I criticize him, it’s complicated, I won’t reply hater to my comment, it’s my way of thinking.
