Im pretty sure whats in the crate is not attached to the paratrooper itself, and more based on what the maps has set to show in the crate when it spawns in…(or at least its possible to determine it this way)
I have seen mods that change the crate contents when you bring the squad to their map.
Could fix it that way (differents maps/campaign different kit)
Plenty of German players rolling BR3 to bring their PZ4J and MG34 into new player matches too. I see it all day. The same players again and again. I bet they bail if the get up-tiered.
For the same reason a tank squad calculate the br with both the tank AND the small arms, para squads should take into account crate weapons and personal arms.
I just don’t believe devs got lazy, but it was in fact intentional. They knew about equipment from crates, because they ruined Italian paras for this exact reason.
Which I find really disgusting. There’s better ways to balance out factions population, we proposed many and highlighted the problems over the years:
ranks break balance. they create rank farmers converging in trendy factions.
No incentive to remain in losing matches, thus going to chose most popular faction often
Instead, they allow blatant bias to run for a time. They WILL fix it for sure… after enough ppl converged back to the biased faction.
It’s such a gross way to balance… while avoiding core issues. it’s very crass behaviour from devs, and those supporting them.
So why don’t you play soviets and US ? The famous sweat lords of the end game you were so afraid off before the merge are only playing germans right now. Must be convenient for a german main right?
I do not have the spare silver to burn and I’ve already had to make two accounts and if I want to kill Americans I’d rather they bring out a campaign where I can play as the Soviets to kill the Americans
I repeat - we need such a solution to the problem.
Then there will be no need to create topics about “cutting” Soviet paratroopers.
The parachutists’ box is a common problem, Americans can’t use the m9 bazooka, Germans can’t put the Panzerfaust 100.
