Can we please have this red indicator removed? Paras lost element of suprise and jets are killing them while in the air 80% of times I use them.
We paid $$$ for them so dont make them more useless.

Definitely not.
Just bring back the way they used to be. Back then, their deployment on battlefield was so much quicker and more efficient.
They were actually so much more fun. And your bots didn’t drop 30mins after you landed. But they actually landed with you.

Personally I’d totally rework the whole class. I’d much prefer something that at least tries to look like a paratrooper operation, instead of a single plane that got lost on his way to buy milk.
But we can’t have nice things.

Using them against good players on sweaty games was pointless lose of tickets but on averange game You could have fun and enjoy using them.
Now its a few seconds flight and jet shreeds the plane. They need to do something. I guess its just an unexpected outcome of new update. I hope.

This is as painful as stepping on an anti-tank mine.
Paratroopers being totaly useless right now, at br4 5 dont click bate
Honestly I think its good that they can be shot down. It gives planes more things to do and its another counter

Something like this would have to work in a way that everyone would have to use their para squad all at once, idk how that could be made
I have some vague ideas but I’m not in a mood to brainstorm things that won’t ever be added to the game.
As a call in like arty or bomber cod kill streak shovelware
An event based around Para vs Defender themed on the night of Normandy could be awesome. It would test night maps and have a new style of game mode.
Maybe a larger map with multiple Freeform objectives (destroy x depot, seize y town) that lock once taken, and paras can choose where to land with randomly generated scatter. Add a pathfinder squad just for the event, and they can build a “rally” that reduces or removes scatter in a certain area.

That would be a really cool event.
But I’m afraid most ppl would leave if they don’t get the paratroopers. Maybe PvE then?

Paratroopers need work.
They fall to slow and the lead indicator wasnt necessary (red tag can stay though)

Or have a time limit, then swap at “halftime” and have deserter penalties so people don’t leave as soon as they’re done with Paras.
Also no paid BP.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
Man can dream XD

Top 10% gets an AI portrait and the ability to purchase Para squads for silver?
(alternatively just buy this premium BP and recieve 4 fallshgrimjaeger squads with MG-42-250!)

Bots should deploy their shoots the same time the player does. I’m not sure how the old way was, but it is aggravating to land and have to either wait or charge in alone while your BOT companions drop in on a later flight. 
I usually pull my shoot when I hit 200 which gets me down quick, but not down dead.

Seeing that I have not played a level five match since the Jets came out, I can’t comment on my level five Paratroopers squads being decimated in the sky since the Jets, however, In a couple years I have only been shot down before deployment in level maybe a half dozen times, in all levels.
