Parachutes and other new mechanics

Personally, i think all these are a great addition. However, a few ideas for all of these additions. I assume parachutes will take a backpack space but a pilot doesnt come with the parachute and can only be bought from the logistics, costing 1 weapon order just like backpacks.

Another idea for parachutes is that it takes time to apply the parachute. Just like how it takes 2.5s for a medkit to apply, a similar function applies to parachutes which would prevent potential abuse of an instantly applying parachute.

The addition of anti-tank guns penetrating more than 1 person doesnt have a lot to talk about, its a cool adition

The jumping over a grenade addition is a good idea, but i think that it should make a difference between a frag grenade and also an explosion pack, as one shoots shrapnel and the other creates an overpressure which cannot realistically be contained by a dead dropping person.

Overall im quite excited for the new update, thank you for your time

Parachutes ? Really ? Which thread have you read where parachutes are highly requested ?

I really hope you can only open the parachute high enough. Please no BF/COD bullshit opening the parachute 0.5 second above the ground.

A machine gun ? For real ? Yeah pilots are well known for bringing their own MG with them in the cockpit. Maybe they should be able to open the cockpit when flying and shoot it like a gangsta once the plane is out of ammo. Tatatatata, you came to the wrong neighborhood comrade !
Or maybe they have the time to detach one of the plane’s MG before jumping ?

You havent met me as an enemy yet I guess, I stand behind door cooking granade, open the door, throw bomb, close the door, hodor.

WHEN will you release this update and how much of the announced plans will be in the next patch? IS IT STILL THIS YEAR I CANT WAIT!

Nice reply, just one question do you use nades next to packs?
(Don’t get me wrong, I’m only using packs nothing else and if there are more peep like me it would be “unbalanced” hero movement :smiley:

in alot of times they were requested by us:

just do a small search.

Just see the following link and judge by yourself:
Search results for 'parachutes' - Enlisted

or :

etc etc , the list goes on and i m not even considering Discord / reddit feedback into it…

yes,. no one asked for it and wasnt requested multiple times over the course of this game. /s

if i recall correcly, besides the plane controls, the parachutes were someting asked when we first saw the planes in action coz many of us bailed and spammed all keys trying to deploy one…

its an expression and you should take it as such.

I’ve never said no one asked for it. Keyword is “highly”. You shared a thread with someone simply asking if there’s one, nothing more. Another thread there’s no reply at all.
But ok, ok. Parachutes are coming, it’s done.

Curious expression to explain how parachutes will affect the game. Alright, so no MG, no nade and no mine.

Even a bullet from an AK47 which is a 7.62x39 can go through more than 1 person and thats smaller than most WW2 era rifle bullets

The game also encourages you “to rush at enemy machine guns” and throw dozens of grenades.
This is bad, it needs to be changed.
But for some reason you use it, and don’t say anything negative about it, it’s even worse.

Remember you can get pilot a smg and a tnt

Yuck

Personally, i dont care if pilots are able to carry grenades, i dont do that but it’s not a big deal if someone could. However, pilots carrying more than 1 primary weapon is a bit weird. I dont think pilots even carried anything other than a pistol irl, so if a primary slot could be unlocked via the personnel research tech tree, that would balance things.

Will axis pilots be able to use the M30 Drilling?
I know that it is not very effective but at least it was made for german pilots(over Africa). ^^

I only have one question. How the fuck do I open the parachute xd?

Its automatic when you bail out … hit space bar I think

Which key is the default for eject? It seems I changed something, but I don’t find the eject key binding in my settings :frowning_face:

F and space for the parachute which make me confused about the first part of this. You already have an parachute and can use it as a pilot going behind enemy lines. Thats my fav thing to do as a pilot after getting shot down. Idk how many adventures that guy had Biggles style ^^ (oh nvm just realized its an old post lol)

Yeah, I can’t find it for the life of me either. Thought I was the only one. How are any players supposed to know what it is?
(I logged-on today deliberately to ask about this.)
