Currently in the game you can see the plane coming, but without any symbology, for some reason, if you manage to destroy it before it reaches the attack zone, they only suffer an early launch, here is my idea: just like you can shoot down the bombers of the radio man, let’s do the same with the paratroopers, that it has a mark and that it can be detected, if someone manages to shoot it down, half of the squad dies and the rest arrive with the box on the ground to be able to continue fighting

Generally if the paratrooper plane comes under attack before they begin to deploy (usually by a fighter as AA can’t shoot that far for some reason), the paratroopers within the plane can be killed.
They should all definitely die. Not like you can jump out of spinning and burning plane without getting injured or killed

no, I want give them at least a chance, they exist historical events in where paras where shoot down and yet a few survived, I want make at least with RNG some of them survive

Fine for me. I just think the current system is ridiculous

indeed that’s why I suggested this, I hope devs like it!
only if i can fly the transport, giving you a slow target that wipes my squad is not fair
for that I would let the plane can come fast like in the past :>
I wonder if anyone noticed paratroopers received YET AGAIN a shadow nerf.
Now para planes appear further away from their drop zone.

Yes, they truly do. Which is just hilarious since that extremely slow falling of bots hasn’t been fixed yet.
It seems like DF just want to completely kill off the whole class. Transform it to only pure gimmick and never introduce it to tech tree.

All of this because ppl with no situational awareness were unable to hear the very loud tell tale sounds the paratrooper planes AND flak did, as well as realize paratroopers on the ground are no different from any other squads…
They were quite easy to shoot before. Now they are free xp when they slowly fall

But let’s keep nerfing them more! Just because…
And what I think of the OP discussion. I mean, they already got nerfed. Why nerf them more? I already feel like tossing my paras into the garbage bin. I rather use my APC squads.
