Oh, I wouldn’t say op (exept p2w premiums), I just meant I find it odd that a class renowned to jump with light and compact equipment always drop with an enormous ammunition crate.
Is it fun? Yes, definitely!
I just think it’s not necessary. Even without, the class would still be fantastic imo 
(like you, can’t wait for event paras being unlocked. Only tried premiums in practice range so far and I love the mechanic).
Tomorrow you get the first one if you played all day
I’ll play a bit this evening and 'morrow’s eve, and get them. Wonder if I’ll unlock the Japanese or the USA team first, haven’t decided.
But I find sky diving, katana wielding, Emperor loving ninjas quite appealing.
Japan is the only faction where I go out of my way to charge at the enemy with melee, even if I could easily dispatch them with my rifle.
It’s more honourable. It pleases my ancestors.
Like the past event you dont get the tickets directly the squad, the first squad you unlock is the japanese one
Really? I missed the AT guys event during my month and a half hiatus… thought it was the same as the events before where you could chose which you wanted.
I wonder why they removed choice…
Probably mostly people get all the reward squad and gun, so tickets are an unecessary thing to code
Or is a secret evil plan for make use play more for keep the game alive
I want to believe the evil plan theory. Just because. It sounds dramatic.
Wait, “greed” is a capital sin is it not?
…
They’re definitely evil! 
Japanese one for sure.
Potentially game breaking? They are either pay to win trash (Normandy) and they will be completely broken on pacific.
Those who did not grind the event or paid for these absolutely broken troops which are bar none better than any squad in the game. well, tough luck on them, because they are going to be at a massive disavantage. Paratroopers are so good, a player can carry his side alone if the other team does not have paratroopers. It is so broken it is hilarious. The amazingly bad Enlisted game balance is breaking new ground.
You get very good weapons, flexible setups turning into virtually any squad you need, you can drop anywhere and there is no hard counter to you. The plane tanks AA and fighters and it is much faster than they can react anyway.
A ton of advantages, no downsides. Absolutely dumb.
Some adjustment could be done with paratrooper like : you don’t get to choose EXACTLY where you’re dropping. For example, you choose where you drop, but plane is getting hit changing trajectory, pilot give green light before drop zone, wind pushing paratrooper, etc. Just like real Normandy invasion. I wrote a topic about paratrooper before and I did also suggested radio squad to be able to call a squad of bots paratrooper in battle
Yeah Paratroopers is so game breaking you can’t even flank the enemy rally points nor destroy their camping tanks
OP is one of the ppl that doesn’t even own paratroopers and just making a bunch of bullshit
So why would I spawn at the back if can spawn behind the objective?
You can’t thats the issue, the out of bound boundary applies to the same to any soldiers, the same as paratroopers
meaning if you go after their tanks thats camping on the Grey zones or rally points you get killed by the Zone
people who keeps complaining about paras never played them and just making a bunch of bullshit when the spawn is extremely limited.
Can you read? I just asked you why would I choose any other squad and spawn in front of the enemy whereas I can spawn behind them?
the way you worded it was confusing, guess English isnt your first language?
Guess reading comprehension isn’t on your curriculum yet?
The question was in perfect plain English.
They are not; actually its the opposite.
Game’s map design is breaking paras.
Pacific has one of the biggest maps but even there you can be a “duck hunt game” for enemy’s entertainment.
Most of the players who uses paras in normandy ( which has one of the smallest and densest maps in game) generally land near their land infantry not behind enemy lines. And its out of sheer neccesity.
If you dont drop from plane and choose your equpiment, land spawn doesnt provide you engi.
They also introduced event for para squad reward, i think normal unlockables are on the way in near future.
They can be game breaker and actually operate as they supposed to in only one mod: conquest.
Man, I just got my IJA ones and they’re really fun. But it’s not fair how their gun is better than almost any other gun I can get in regular progression. Good damage, good ROF and fairly good sights. Also the spawn on demand flanking potential is crazy good.
That said, I played my last game of Normandy today for the foreseeable future if not for good. Pardon the expression but fuck this. I respect that they wanted to make them special but it gets real old, real fast, when the enemy team has four or five players that constantly appear from weird angles with 100 round thompsons that clear points in seconds and shrug off grenades and SMG rounds almost like they’re nothing. All the swaying left and right, bunny hopping and the whole getup makes me think I’m playing rust or something. Perhaps a batman inspired game?
Any squad with either those weapons or that perk would be a pain to handle, but with the drop mechanics and flexible loadouts on demand? Yeah. Totally not p2w.
Its event squad so its fair
Imo event squads/vehicles should be unique and fun, not simply better than their progression counterparts: e.g. BT in Stalingrad or silenced MP-40 squad in Normandy.
