Would it be a far fetched idea for a para trooper classe to be in game and actually have them dropped in via a plane? Maybe said plane could be used as a “call in”, like artillery, and it be an active spawn point for those who have a para trooper squad in their line up. Plane could all be shot down by AA and other aircraft to close said spawn point for a duration of time

I like that idea, and I don’t see why not - It seems like it’d be historically accurate! Maybe you could spawn in as a plane, and instead of bombs you could choose where to drop the squad, then plane flies off automatically? I think there’s lots of good ways this could be implemented.

yea that would be far better than airplane pilot having a parachute that can be used only over limited area !

Yes, it would be far fetched - the development time would be significant to include hte aircraft, hte dropping, and even the scenarios - it would be worse having paratrops drop into an existing and ongoing battle than having jumbos at Normandy and FG42 for every soldier.

If the devs can do it, they better do it. Same thing with boat landings in dday or any beach landing.
They “better” do it?
I think not - there’s a milion problems with this game they better work on than unrealistic and stupid ideas of airborne operations.
They can have ai reinforcements that come in like that. Then the axis can have ai reinforcements coming from the back
airborne is pretty cool , realistic and historical… not to mention fun !!.. adds new mechanics and tactics !
makes fighter plane actually more usefull …
Not realistic at all in the context of an ongoing ground battle, and even less so to have fighters intercepting transports in such a battle.
It is a fantasy.
thats why ppl will play games that have it… like H&G !!!.. If they can doit , then everyone can doit !
Depends on the campaign. Having a drop in Berlin doesn’t really make sense as the Germans were pretty much out of planes(yes, few squadrons there and there).
For Normandy, they would have to create a separate map behind the Atlantic Wall for Allies as that is where they were airdropped, and Germans can forget about any drops at all.
Moscow, I am not well versed in that area.
Overall, it makes more sense to have them on the ground, already participating in the combat. Cool idea, but…

Yes - games with even more fantasy than Enlisted - why would you want Enliusted to be like them?
If they are so good then go play them.
In the context of an ongoing ground battle, it might be fantasy… But in the context of a game, which already contains plenty of fantasy concepts as necessitated to provide palatable gameplay, I really don’t think it’s that bad.
The planes also restock midair, building a radio with your hammer allows your troops to teleport behind enemy lines, and the entire gameplay centers around occupying random buildings for set durations under heavy fire. Why not a parachute?
That being said, I do agree that there are other, more important things to fix first.
It is not necessary to “provide palatable gamelpay” - some things certainly are - and some things are borderline - planes restocking in air is necessary unless you want planes to be single-use, engineers with hammes serve 2 purposes - they provide a viable role for engineers and allow use of constructs that would be difficult to include in any menangful manner otherwise.
this isn’t any of that - it propvides no necessary or reasonable purpose - it is pure fantasy
Are you stu*** grandpa or what !! Fantasy ? … go play solitare , i see this is too much for ya !
Also this game caters to players demands , and there is demand for paratroopers for sure !
Airborne troops are actually allready in the game just not in the air but when plane parachute is added why not on paratroopers aswell in just anather plane ! so quite possible and easy !
Games that dont upgrade and dont follow trends tend to die and i doubt gajin will let that happen !
We are spoiled brats , and when we dont get what we want we just move to a game that offers it… simple as hell , works everytime !

Atr you like 10 yrs old or something?
There is also demand for more historical accuracy… this is BS.
Go play Warhammer - it gives players everything they want… you’d love it.
If it takes 2 weeks of kicking and screaming from the community for them to nerf artillery, i wouldn’t exactly call it catering
They should allow entire ai companies to land. The players that want to play as a paratrooper land with them as well. These ai companies should assist the players, and act on their own will.
Axis troops can have ai reinforcements to counter this. This way we can make up for lack of players/leavers.
ps: these bots won’t affect spawn tickets by getting killed
we allready have too much bots in the game !.. reduction would be better
Well look at previus things they did it was players choice, even the game being free to play !
Like it was allraedy said on the forum the real reason of toxicity here is because I’ve seen a lot of players wanting a different product
Some people like me, want a realistic, asymmetrical game
Some people want enlisted to be infantry-only
Some want Enlisted to be Infantry-thunder
Some want improved AI
Some want removed AI
Some want mirror gameplay (almost identical teams)
Some people want huge difference between teams
Some want Enlisted to be simulation like HLL
Some want it to be arcade like BF5
Some want it to be like Heroes and Generals
etc,etc,etc…
Toxicity is made because all of us have no idea what devs want to do with this game and how they want to balance it
Well considering we have at least 10 human players, an ai company with their own spawn markers would be really cool.
