Give paratroopers a shield while mid-air (Related to Operation Market Garden event)

Darkflow, can you please give paratroopers protection while they are dropping into the battlefield? This just feels like eploiting when someone kills you for 10th time in a row while you are in air, falling with nothing but a parachute and you can´t defend yourself.

Learn how to drop your paratroopers in safer positions… they have extra vitality as a base perk for this exact reason.

Yes, but this is related mainly to Market Garden event (I forgot to write that). And as you know, there are enemies everywhere, shooting you down with MGs, rifles, and even flaks.

This event is rather bad anyway… no reason to further adjust the game for it but i do sort of agree for this event atleast

True, a random enemy just shot me down 3 times in a row (I changed the positions too) It was the SAME enemy.

Honestly as long as you know where to drop, you next to never get shot on the way down, only time Ive been shot on the way down, I dropped in a risky spot looking to land in an attic with snipers.

Maybe you are right, but still, I´ve chosen spots that were in the corner of the map but still… Germans everywhere

Because while using them in regular battles, I never got shot down mid-air.

I think the map area is too small. I always drop on the very edge of the map yet almost always someone sees me land and shoots my whole squad and kills my rally. What i really hate is the fact that there is no way to make rally safely. Landing anywhere on the map will always attract bunch of people to hunt you down and you cant get engineer by ground deploying.

Honestly one of the worst events in terms of gameplay. The april fools gun game still wins but this one is not that far behind. Atleast you dont need to grind that much score which is nice

Well not always, had somewhat similar situation against some swetty bettys with asian looking alphabet names.

Planes were constantly flakked before even getting nowhere near the bridge and falling paras sniped down.

Didnt bother to play till the end.

This. Teams are 10v10 and map is tiny & both objectives are at shooting range from each other.
Defenders can utilize radios / apc.

It was “fun” for few games & idea was nice but the execution is absolute sht.

Remove the other objective, focus on 1 point → for sake of balance let the para planes come from any direction so they aint constantly sniped by one nerd in AA.

Don’t think the paratroopers need a shield. I think the problem is they chose the worst game mode on a tiny map. Should have done invasion game mode with an expanded map. The way it is setup now is very unbalanced.

It also doesn’t help that many players don’t realize you can build rally points and spawn on them as the Allies.

Open low! Your ai might become cannon fodder, but you, the player may live. Just watch out you don’t get crushed by the supply drop.

Skill issue
It’s same argument as rally need spawn protection
Learn where to land and build rally
Don’t land where enemies are concentrated
That’s the reason why fallschirmjäger failed at crete
