I think already knew that (I think you mentionned it several time in the forum). And you are right, I checked their stats and they are juts straight improvement in almost any possible way compared to the MG42.
The BR 4 Type Hei auto has 30/60 ammo by default (more than 30/30), sure you cannot have ammo bag but you can pick up additional weapons from the crate of even use the engineer to build ammo box.
That’s my biggest issue with it currently. Pretty sure Japanese main would have complained as well if the US got Paratroopers with T20 at BR 4 (I hope it never happens)
Probably because this road never ends well, P2W is quite guaranteed way for f2p game to kill it self.
Even a soviet bodyarmor that blocks 1 bullet ( Low br ) causes a justified argument of how ridiculous it is.
Now, they add a gun with shield that blocks 2 rifle rounds.
Its irrelevant for who such broken mechanic is added, its still broken.
You can also stack 2x Vitality and turn yourself into a demigod with 37HP. Nice LMG you got there that has zero penalty for movement and super strong shield. That gun should be added for the AR engineers in the future event not p2w paratrooper squad. And that shield should have had only 8HP to protect you from a single bullet.
While you will be shooting at their shield they will shoot at you and kill you because they have much higher HP than you (37HP), your head is always exposed with no shield while they can go lean and make you not hit their tiny head but their shield.
Can be done, just like you can shoot paras mid-air.
But lets be real here, when ppl is fighting over cap point avoiding mine spam, artillery and enemy fire in general no one is watching at the sky for paras.
So your justification for this ridiculous squad that you can shoot them in mid-air is pretty much plausible as headshotting every kamikaze hvar spammer with AA.
And anyway, everyone and theyr mom know more than well that the kamikaze hvar spam is broken as fk.
That how ever is no justification of anykind for this ridiculous para squad.
This para squad wont decrease the hvar kamikaze spam the slighters, infact adding such idiotic squad to ground fight might just enhances people desire to do hvar spam rather than play infanty.
2 shitty things wont nullify each other.
Honestly they should just remove all armor effects from any sort of cosmetics, sure it will screw over event and premium squads but people will finally stop crying that cosmetics are P2W.
