Progression paratroopers

Devs,

What is the problem with having progression tree paratroopers specifically tier 2 ones that can be helpful in low and high tier battles?

I have the event ones I’m just wondering why they don’t support this idea… in the mean time I’ll just consistently enjoy getting the best paratrooper award since not everyone has the option to play them.

My idea for them is just allow them to use riflemen class weapons until you get the higher tier ones that can use assaulter class weapons (paratrooper I and Paratrooper II) this will not detract from the current options.

this is an unpopular opinion, but if there are free paratroopers, they should have team limits like vehicles, just because paratroopers are really strong, and if EVERY player had access to them, it would be a horrible spamfest of raining men

I feel if they just made it (for balance reasons) where you couldn’t drop para’s directly on top of the objective … I would be fine with them being in the tree. and if it allowed me to customize the box, I would be quite happy. If needed, could also make it so pending greyzone (both moving to and moving from would be not selectable).

My unpopular opinion is that they aren’t even meta anymore.
Only somewhat good for an attacking team. In all other scenarios, they’re pretty mediocre.

(Ofc I’m not taking into account clearly OP weapons like Thompson 100 and Vickers, but those aren’t the specifics of this class).

They should cap out like tanks and planes.

Only happened when everyone trying out their new event paratrooper.
I don’t see players spamming paratroopers after that.

They won’t be strong if the best gun they can get is like a Johnson at tier 2 or have them run around with bolts.

You are writing at the wrong time. Paratroopers are useless. Paratroopers were supposed to be an event-exclusive unit for DF to push FOMO. What DF did not count on is that people will get used to the events and many people will have them, so he nerfed them to the point where they are useless and DF hopes that people will forget about the paratroopers. Events both save and kill this game. I have a complete 2.0 build where I only have event squads, all of them are stronger than what the player can research.

Has anyone else don t reset to 20,000 points?

Take them into the game and then write how many times you land with them and survive for more than a minute.

12

Or just let one single player drop at time and let the other spawn as normal infantry…

pretty much every time if i dont paradrop straight into an enemy obj, if you cant survive more than a minute with your paras then thats on you

few times i actually used my para engineer to build rallies for multiple objectives since i dont play hyper aggressive with the guy with the hammer

If you fall more than 100 meters from the target with them, then what’s the point? Wouldn’t it be better to take another squad?

16

oooh idunno, maybe its everything in those 100m? maybe dropping behind them and shooting all of their rallies?

17

Never the less it is a class and deserves more exploitation.

Too bad they kill me before landing. Or they shoot down the plane before I jump.

Just make the event paratroopers accessible to the players who missed them.
Gastanofrizzi just made suggestion and I have suggested to make them earnable through the BP months ago. That is certainly better than putting paratroopers to the end of the progression.
