I think paratroopers should have the same access to the map as guerrilla squads because someone jumping out of a plane should have access anywhere on the map.
I just finished a game where the paratrooper plane was shot down and we had to jump out early. I touched down 250 meters from the objective right beside an enemy tank, which must have been grey zoning. I pulled out my TNT pack , a messaged appeared onscreen saying I was going to be returned to battle, and as I was placing the charge it switched me to a field where the TNT actually dropped…200 meters away from the objective on the other side of the battle. How is that any different?
Of all squads, paratroopers should be able to hit grey zones…they jump from planes!

Every squad should have, as greyzone no longer works as spawn protection. And thus its existence has lost all meaning.

no
I see no reason that they shouldn’t the Greyzone is way too safe for Tank camping rn and giving Paras more use is something I support.
Because they can ambush players by dropping into the back rAnks faster then allied units can get to the front lines. It’s the same reason guerillas or as I call them g units can’t drive vehicles. Paratroopers are highly mobile units and should not be allowed to enter the gray zone. G units have to penetrate the front lines before causing havoc on the soft underbelly.,
paratrooper units can jump over the front lines to the rear. If. If they got the same ability a g units two things are wrong. One it be the same as if rider could act as apc. Units and deploy squads they would make apcs obsolete. Para units would be just better g units making them obsolete. The only way it works is a major nerf like eliminating the box that lets them change loadouta.
A Paratrooper squad is 5 men, if your team can’t get rid of it there’s no chance to win the game anyways. Ambushing people is half of what Paratroopers do.
The Gray zone is already a problem I think should be massively changed. Tank HE spam is only possible because of the Gray Zone and it’s killing spawn “shield”. Paratroopers should be able to be an option to take out Tanks sitting at the edge of the playable map lobbing HE into the zone while constantly being resupplied by their Supply point. It makes the game better to have Paras be able to enter the gray zone because it forces people to pay attention to what is going on around them and not just rely on a feature that barely even helps against spawnkilling.
In fact, it is 6 men.

yes it is but the enemy advances to the point to be ambushed. what you want is a preemptive strike by landing in the enemies rear and either attacking them before they can deploy or attack the reinforcements. the only way it could work is like an arty strike showing where the paratroopers will land in advance. sorry but paras were never ninjas they had to choose where they landed. and often the enemy got there before they could land. that is show where they are going to land on the map not by looking up and guessing where and when.
Paras take their fair time to land and their loud as hell while doing it. If you can not anticipate where they’re landing with the long line of parachuting people that’s not an issue paratroopers create. They are easy to deal with while in the air and while landed, you can do that by being there first too.
By limiting Paras through banning them from the Gray Zone you remove a large part of what made Paratroopers useful in actual warfare. There’s nothing Paras can do better than any other squad in the game. There’s nothing that makes Paratroopers immediately OP by allowing them to enter the Gray Zone. They still have to choose where they land, can still get killed in the air and on the ground. The only way they’d be safe while the enemy is advancing on the point would be to jump into an area that is removed from the path to the objective and thus not threatening the people advancing on the zone itself.
sure when the add the aa units you know trucks and infantry units designed to shoot down planes. no dont get on the get good i cant shoot you down in the air if you are half way across the map. you on the other hand can land set up an ambush. paras are already one of the strongest units in the game and not tech tree available.
paratroopers were also very limited in weapons and ammo. most did not land with a large box of other weapons. again why i suggested taking away their ability to swap loadout. while such containers existed most paras were limited to their main weapons. paras are already stronger than they should be,
If they’re halfway across the map how are they a threat to you? You’re saying they’re going to murder the entire team on route to the objective, for that they have to be between spawn and the objective and thus easy to kill.
I agree that Paras should be in the TT, but that will never happen. Paratroopers were dropped in with their weapons, but other stuff was also dropped in with them, even Motorcycles were dropped by plane. Again I say Paras need to be able to access the Gray Zone to be able to do what they’re designed for, fighting the enemy behind the front lines.
then they would be restricted to a higher br sorry but paratroopers are strong enough as is. allowing them to enter the gray zone increases there combat power. you remind me of the german players that demand 200/250 round mgs. yes paras landed behind enemy lines mostly with rifles or smgs. if you want paras in the grayzone you need light and heavy para squads. paras with at guns flame throwers and mgs were far rarer. so dont act like youre just trying to respect history. in fact mainly with specialized weapons like folding rifles and smgs.
What higher BR? 6?
Yes it’d make Paras stronger, but Paras aren’t strong right now, they’re a weaker Infantry Squad that is easy to deal with before they can even land. A single Fighter can extremely easily deal with the Transport Plane, as can AA or an HMG. When they’re parachuting everyone can easily kill them
they have br 1 2 3 4 5 squads what are you talking about
All but one purchaseable Para Squad are locked to BRV. That’s what I’m talking about
ok if you want to add this ability to just the br5 para squads. shrugs go ahead
You’re the only one talking about locking Paras to some BR, which is already a thing for the ones people can actually buy. The event ones with other weapons shouldn’t even be questioned to be locked to BRV with the horrendous matchups they’d be in literally every single fight.
