If they could be equipped with submachine guns and automatic rifles like the Soviet Union
6 STG or automatic rifle Type C or Tokyo Arsenal
this will be fatal
Then you would no longer need the special abomination that is the soviet paratrooper premium squad.
Their greatest use is to drop from the sky and poke the enemy in the butt.
When they lose this purpose they are nothing more than a 6 man commando team
Such a team has lost its original value and has no need to exist at all.
The paratroopers in the technology tree should be limited to weapons that can only use fixed types or weapons developed for paratroopers.

The carbine and grease gun were used extensively by US troopers but also the Thompson and M1
Most fallshrimjager and VDV jumped with handguns and got their main weapons on the ground
British lol had an assortment too including stens and LEs

Not that bad compared to 6 fedorov and 6 as 44 model 5. If soviets can change their guns so should others

How do we directly get the Devs attention?
I’m adamant about this given my line of work at fort liberty (formerly known as Bragg) lol
Agree, Thompson 100 and Krieghoff should became TT weapons and thus unlocking option to change primary weapons for those para squad.

Krieghoff would work be nice because it starts in full auto. Thompson 100 would also be much better than thompson 50. Maybe even event squads should get option to change their guns. I would prefer to not use the 100 round vickers as i dont play br5

If only veterans have it, newbies have nothing to counter with it. This makes the balance even worse

I see no issue with TT ones, and I wonder WHY they’re not here already.
As for those saying they’re op… No other class received as many unwarranted nerfs as paratroopers did.
It now takes about twice as much time reaching drop zone with paratroopers than with regular infantry from a rally point.
“But but but they can land anywheeere!”
Wrong. Grey zone is very restricting, the safe places to drop without getting preemptively shot in the air… are the same zones regular infantry spawn from.
And paratroopers fall so… sloooooooooowly now, they’re easy picking for anyone with basic awareness.
Indeed, those who whined they were too strong, simply have no situational awareness.

To be fair their previous falling speed was ridiculous.
Though I’m biased as overall I dislike how paras were implemented.
First falling speed was indeed too fast.
The first speed nerf made falling speed acceptable.
But. It got nerfed again, now it’s as fast as a falling tree leaf…

I think they should add a Research Paratrooper squad(s) for all factions. I feel Premium/ event content shouldn’t strictly be unique things.
I view that basic research should have pretty much one of everything, for example flame tanks or rocket artillery vehicles. That way it increases that dynamic in common gameplay because more people will have access to the same kind of toys.I only ever rarely see the Panzerwerfer 42.
So you have your basic research things, and then you can still have Premium content. They could give 5 different flamethrower vehicles as premium but basic should have at least 1
I disagree with restricting what weapon which Paratrooper uses. I find it’s redundant. Just blankly make it so Paratroopers can use rifles, SMGs, and assault rifles like those Soviet Paratroopers

You don’t want to see two rocket tanks or flamethrowers doing gray zone camping or suicide attacks when your teammates are all monkeys who are not equipped with anti-tank weapons.
Not necessary. Enlisted requires less money from players than many other games.
The problem is that developers themselves do not want to earn money.
-
no camouflage for premium vehicles
-
premium squads worse than regular (fighter planes without +50 % detection range)
-
small choice of premium squads (no premium paratroopers for Japan)

Gilt, to your point if that is the case they should make paratroopers accessible but only at the end of the tech tree….they are truly an “elite”class. i’d take it; at least it’s something.
The argument against this is that the allied and Japanese have lower tier paratroopers and the Germans and Soviets don’t.
They all have level 2 activity squads
The Soviet Union can be equipped with submachine guns and general-purpose rifles
Germany has a level 3 flamethrower that can only be used for 5 seconds.

I dont understand this at all; about 85% of the time I last multiple minutes; even as emergency AT paradrop vast majority of time im running around dropping AT mines since they come wiht the AT package.
I dont understand how some one can say theyre bad.
Worst theyre a ground spawn 6 man assaulter squad which is already above rate for assaulters (premiums and regs get 4-5 ARs)
Like theyre meta to me and my friends, the ability to easily set up flank spawns, and rapid AT on demand are priceless.
Im presuming here ppl are used to just dropping on cap brainlessly as before? Like is it a doctrine/ skill issue?
To be fair if they release like 3 or so tree paratroopers then we would just use them as 3 different loadouts, you have your first squad with rifles, second with SMGs, third with late game assault rifles
Or players can just change their loadouts whenever. With the Soviet Paratroopers sometimes I feel like using assault rifles and sometimes I feel like using rifles. I know it can be a little tedious but I’m just saying
