Planned changes to the paratroopers' supply boxes

It misses more than it shoots, I much prefer the Gewehr 43

The Gewehr 43 has better accuracy, the FG42 would be my only complaint with the BR V paratrooper boxes

Now that problem go back in full circle. Devs please design a system that let players choose whatever they want to use in crate and add Paratrooper class into Tech Tree.

1.Will the FG-42 spiner shares ammo with paratroopers armed with krighoff or fg42? From a modeling perspective, the former uses a single row single feed magazine and should not share ammunition with the FG42 rifle with a double row magazine.
2.What about the flamethrower of the Ita paratrooper? Will it be deleted?

The Hyde I don’t even get, when there’s a perfectly useable Thompson sitting in the tech-tree…

As for the Johnson LMG… well it is what it is, I personally think both the Lewis and the Vickers K should be in the US tech-tree (it’s just a bonus that this would make the British Paras fully customizable), and when that is the case the Johnson should get switched for something more appropriate. Until then? Preferably the same thompson but with the 30 round box instead, or a BAR.

They could also add

Don’t repeat the same mistake using the FG 42 sniper for the Krieghoff FG and FG 42 with grenade launcher paratroopers.
You once changed their sniper loadout to G43 since the weapons share the same ammo pool.
Give them Sniper StG or MkB.

Just checked in-game.

I know that my suggestion may sound a bit bland. but how about an additional option “More ammunition + Grenades”, when I just want to play the weapons the paratroopers actually come with? Due to the parachutes they can’t wear ammo belts, and in reality their supply base would pack the supply crates with supply for their main armament as well!

Give all paratroopers in BR1-2 BR2 anti-tank weapon. Bazooka for Americans and Soviets and type 5 for Japanese.

I agree, the MP 38 is not comparable

I’m gonna be real the devs are releasing a bunch of terrible ideas this included. why is the assault kit going to alternate between lmg/smg? that will widly change how i use that loadout (it is the one I primarily use so is particularly concerning) br1-2 at rifle??? nobody uses them to begin with so that’s out the window. what’s the actual thought process?

I think that USA and Soviet should get an M1 Bazooka at BR I-II. Taking the risk of paradropping an AT squad and finding oneself with an useless AT rifle would be too harsh.

Good thing that PPS-42 is better than PPS-43. So it’s yet another Soviet buff.

add more server to the game, i have ping… -.-

if that bubba’d m1 carbine gets added it should go in the pistol slot, japan is the only nation without a fully automatic sidearm

This is great but alot of players don’t have access to paratroopers since they are either old event squads or premium squads ant are not unlockable in the tech tree. Can we PLEASE have an event to unlock a squad or two??Heck June 5th is when they dropped into Normandy…perfect timing!

Also, PLEASE keep the silver victory boxes in the shop year round so we at least have a SLIM chance of getting an old squad…I still have 26 to go!

They really should drop G43 (+Sniper) to BR3 so we wouldn’t need be forced to use paras just to have comparable semi auto to SVT-38 (Sniper too) at BR3. Anti-German bias as always.

Disagree about Type 96 lmg being bad, you should try it as it got massive buff now it’s pretty much AR with perfect accuracy no ADS mov dispersion it’s one of the best lmgs at BR3.

Nah there are a lot better option for pistols including spanish machine pistols(they were essentially a copy c96)which were exported to china or very rare Siamese 1911 cooy(Its machine pistol)
