At the moment there is a huge imbalance in the game due to the fact, that pratroopers are not evenly spaced in BR.
Allies can use Paratroopers in Every BR (British ones and US Pacific in BR II and III and US Normandy ones in the high BRs)
Sovjets every BR as they can match the BR by changing the main weapon
Germans NOTHING in the lower BRs, only BR V !!!
If it is always claimed that things are done for the sake of balance, even unrealistic things, like giving the Sovjets the German Panzerfaust, something has to be done here too.
Imho there are two option to solve this issue:
Making the Italian Paratroopers BRII (the SMG has only 20 rounds so that would fit, only problem would be the Flamethrower, but that could be easily removed from the Equipment Box or even better removed only when playing in a BRII setup and remain when playing in a BRIII or higher setup)
Giving the German Paratroopers (Premium and/or Event) the same ability as the Sovjets have, to change the main Weapon. By this on can equip a MP40 or a K98 if they go for a BRII setup or the original Krieghoff or StG44 for higher BRs.
I wouldnt even mind, if you would restrict the choices to Krieghoff and MP40, Kar98k only - which would also be historically accurate.
I really hope that you will consider this, as at the moment Germans are the only ones with NO Paras in the lower BRs.
In case I have missed something and there is a way to play Paratroopers in low BRs for Germans, please excuse my mistake and be so kind as to explain to me how I can do that.
I think this is a great idea, no low tier axis paras really can make things difficult and there is no counter to allied and so oet paras at low, mid tier even.
If Italians dropped to mid tier that would make sense, but ideally like Soviets, we can choose BR.
ideally this would be a thing all squads can do
weapon locked squads were sad before the merge BR system
now many of them are outright useless if i want to play at BR 3 to have the most maps
Come on, the new update for the crate is a good step, but now they need at least to lover the BR of the italian SMG to II or give one of the German Paras the option to change their main weapon.
As for now, it still remais, that Axis is the only faction with NO PARAS in BR I to III, while in real life, Germans were the first toi use Paras on an operationla level in the Netherlands and i a much larger scale on Crete.
So please Gaijin do somthing to balance the game and give Axis at least ONE Parasquad for BR II !!!
I definitely think their BR should be lowered. They can’t even fight in the actual theater they fought in! Ahhh yes Italian paratroopers dropping in to help defends Normandy and the Reichstag.
If their flamethrowers are truly an issue the simply solution is just to give them 3. With every single Para loadout you just get 3 of anything.
I disagree because I didn’t even like the Soviet BR mess in the first place. All they had to do what just give the 2 squads a UNIQUE weapon and thus being directly tied to a BR. I don’t know if they will ever fix the Soviet paratroopers but if not they can just be a stain of what not to do. But I don’t think they extend this idea for other Paras
All they have to do just release some new Paras for various BRs.
These aren’t mutually exclusive. It can’t go both ways
Either from now all Paratroopers are basically generic and thus you can make them any BR, or they stay unique with unique weapons and are tied to a BR. If they go with the first then they might as well just stop adding anymore Paratroopers.
They should defiantly lower the Italians to BR 2.
And I’ve had some ideas for low BR paratrooper weapon squads, such as the G40K carbine or the Paratrooper Kar98k
