Requesting changes to Paratrooper boxes next update

Suggestions

Isn’t it time to update paratrooper boxes with some new additions next update? Paras are far from powerful, especially at BR5.
(As there are some plans for BR3 matchmaking, I’ll wait on those before making suggestions on lower BRs.)

	USA

Premium M1928a1/100 squad:
Assault BR5 - Johnson MG is quite weak for BR5, how about Hyde 1944 instead?
Antitank BR5 - (BR3) M9 bazookas to replace with Ofenrohr.
Scout BR5 - M1c Garand is not a BR5 gun. Maybe replace with T20 instead?

Event M1A1 squad:
Antitank BR5 - (BR3) M9 bazookas to replace with Ofenrohr.
Scout BR5 - Sniper Garand is a BR3 gun. Maybe replace with T20 instead?

Event Vickers Mk.I No 2 squad:
Antitank BR5 - (BR3) M9 bazookas to replace with Ofenrohr.
Scout BR5 - Sniper Garand is a BR3 gun. Maybe replace with T20 instead?

Event BSA Welgun squad:
Assault BR5 - Johnson MG is quite weak for BR5, how about Hyde 1944 instead?
Antitank BR5 - (BR3) M9 bazookas to replace with Ofenrohr.

	Japan

Scout BR5 - (BR2!) Sniper rifle Type 99 - literally anything will do better, maybe replace with Type 97 scoped MG?

But it’s needed as they

Only get crappy DP-29 at BR5, it needs to be replaced by Maxim Tokarev

Assault BR III => Madsen → DPM
Anti-Tank BR III => PTRS-41 → Panzefaust 60
Anti Tank BR V => Panzerfaust 60 → Panzerfaust 100
Mortar BR V => RM40 => BM41

I even made old thread about it and other changes.

Now with Japanese Ofenhohr it’s no brainer to give them for every BR4/5 paratrooper.

Don’t think that’s a supported feature (yet? Heard there are some plays with adaptive mags in Active Matter?)

I knew I missed something. Honestly, MT is not much of an improvement over DT currently (I wonder if there’s Infantry DS39 in plans?)

Mortars are meh anyway, still no BR5 versions for USA & Japan. The whole point of that preset is in Engineer’s hammer, regardless.

I wanted to wait for BR3 matchmaking changes before making suggestions on para boxes there (MG34 still ridiculous for a BR1 squad, honestly surprised it’s ignored by everyone).

it’s not but it should be, BR2 = 20 rounds, BR3 = 30 rounds, BR4-5 = 40 rounds

does the assault kit really matter that much on the thompson paras since… they already have 6 drum mag thompsons… lmao

Current boxes

Here’s my takes:

USA
Premium M1928a1/100 squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 m9_bazooka - isn’t in time to get Ofenhohrs there?
paratroopers_assault_high - 3 m1941_johnson_mg - others got M1944 Hyde there, why not do the same?

Event Vickers Mk.I No 2 squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 m9_bazooka - same with Ofenhohrs.
paratroopers_assault_smg_high - 3 m1_thompson_gun - same with M1944 Hyde.

Event M1A1 squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 m9_bazooka - same with Ofenhohrs.
paratroopers_assault_low - 3 browning_m1918 - if those crates are for BR 1-2 maybe get worse guns there?

Event BSA Welgun squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 m9_bazooka - same with Ofenhohrs.

Germany
Premium Krieghoff squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 panzerfaust_60 - panzerfaust_100 or Ofenhohrs would be better fit I think.

Event FG 42 with GL squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 panzerfaust_60 - panzerfaust_100 or Ofenhohrs would be better fit I think.

Premium Beretta M38 squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 grb_39 - panzerfaust_100 or Ofenhohrs would be better fit I think.
paratroopers_scouts_high - 2 mauser_gewehr_98_with_scope_mount - other have sniper_fg_42_model_2, would fit here as well.
paratroopers_assault_low - 3 mg_34 - a bit too much for low crate I think?

Event OG43 squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 panzerfaust_60 - panzerfaust_100 or Ofenhohrs would be better fit I think.
paratroopers_flametroopers_high - 2 lanciafiamme_m41 ??? - should be 6 I guess?
paratroopers_flametroopers_medium - 6 lanciafiamme_m41 - should be lowered to 2-3 I guess?

USSR event squad:
paratroopers_antitank_low - 3 ptrs_41 - m1_bazooka was added to soviets ages ago, maybe should be added here?
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 panzerfaust_60 - panzerfaust_100 would be better fit.
USSR premium squad:
paratroopers_antitank_medium - 3 panzerfaust_100 - a bit too much maybe? Switch to m1_bazooka/panzerfaust_60?

Japan
Event Type 100 rifle squad:
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 type_4_70_at_rocket_launcher - why not put Ofenhohrs here?
Premium Hei LMG squad:
paratroopers_assault_smg_high - 3 tokyo_arsenal_model_1927 - maybe add type_100_mg as well?
paratroopers_antitank_high - 3 type_4_70_at_rocket_launcher - again Ofenhohrs, for everyone.

MIssing medium crates can be copied from Event Type 100 rifle squad I guess.
