What are Paratroopers. Spawn them on the ground and they’re pretty much the same as every other class. When you spawn in the air you can either drop directly onto the point (mostly suicidal) or the off chance that you’re actually able to flank the objective because of how the devs happened to draw the map lines. Their only real gimmick and saving grace is that they’re basically 5 classes in 1 when you can choose different load outs from their box. I think this system should be improved
Currently Paratrooper loadouts are AT, MG, Mortar + Engineer, Sniper + Radio; and the Italians with their exclusive flamethrower. I think it’s interesting that 2 of these loadouts have 2 different classes. It gives them a unique play style. If two of their loadouts have 2 classes I think they all should
This makes Paratroopers feel like the special forces they are, they are a jack of all trades. I think their loadouts should be overhauled and tweaked. This would give them all class abilities. 2 different classes that compliment each other
Fire Support: Rifle Grenade + MG
Assault: Assault + Flamethrower
Heavy: AT + Mortar
Support: Engineer + Medic
Recon: Sniper + Radio
Also it would be great if we could be able to customize Paratrooper box loadouts, what weapons we’d get and use. (Ex: My Fire Support LO could have MG 34s)
