It is often not that worth it to even land with your parachute, if you do so fast, so drop down to minimal height and then open the parachute. This is due to how far back you’ll get teleported to and that you only get so few troops.
This however is much worse if you get shot down or fail your landing and switch to a gunner ai that immediately opened their parachute. You’ll take possible even a full minute to get to the battlefield, so it’s usually better to just press escape and respawn.
This problem would be minimised if the game would teleport you as soon as the parachute has slowed you down instead of waiting till you’re close to the ground, tho ideally there would be some bigger incentive to land as even a pilot and the most efficient way wouldn’t be pressing the respawn button or just staying in your crashing plane. At best this incentive would be beneficial to he team not just the player.
