As of topic, after trying out the paratroopers quite a bit, they are very fun to use big plus on that. however the problem i have is, theres just too many occasion where paratroopers literally cannot deal with tank campers on the Grey area.
normally it just takes few meters or bit more area before I can take them out, but most of the time i just ends up dying and killed by the Zone. and still get shot down from the plane and killed immediately even when you land.
My suggestion to this is please increase the radius or the area that paras can reach, since as of now they still get killed by the zone too easily, or you spawn straight on and the idea of infiltrating into the enemies backlines don’t work. as the greyzone just kills you most of the time. and its very limiting.

That’s why you can use other squads, mate. This game really isn’t just about paratroopers. Kill tank first, then drop with your soldiers. 
I cannot relate to your problem.

Nah absolutely piss off with “I should be able to drop in the grey zone”
I know exactly the bullshit that would happen with stringing AP mines throughout the spawn over and over and

Beside planes there’s no way to deal with Tank Campers on Greyzones.
Note im trying to kill the tanks with the Panzerfaust/ Bazookas as the Para
Another tank or an AT launcher does the trick
Or just use the plane
That’s what its there for

What do you mean by AT Launcher?
Im literally playing AT on Para. and you can’t even reach them. but they can reach you, how is that even fair
Para start with Panzerfaust or Bazookas. Its a loadout you can use.
Have you even tried Para? You spawn directly in the middle of the Enemy, theres no sneaking nothing, nor behind enemy lines. by the time i can see the tank, almost everyones dead
Both the Panzerfaust and Bazooka have a range of 100 or more meters, past that you can eyeball it
There aren’t many maps where you can sit in the greyzone further than you can run in with a detpack and still effectively hit the enemy with the tank either
The only two that come to mind are the beach attack maps

Also, troops spawn with protection so im not sure what you implying here. and with rally you can already do that with mines.

Yes, and allowing para into spawn wouldn’t immediately be countered by spawn protection since that only lasts a few seconds and mines dispensed throughout the approaches would still kill people.

Im not saying allowing paras into enemy spawn. Im literally asking for a few meters increased,
have you even played para? do you know how limiting the spawn area is?
Here is the first point, Defending. And as the defenders you can literally only spawn directly on the point, not even behind enemy lines as described
Theres 1 issue with Para, its sharing the same out of zone bound as any normal soldiers. Para is meant to destroy enemy Rally point and Harass, how do you do that here?
So if there is a tank camping on the bridge on in the areas above, you literally cannot do anything about them

I couldn’t agree more. The whole point of paras is rear flanking, isn’t it? I mean, that’s what the draw is. Otherwise you’re just a regular squad that can be killed before you spawn.

The M1 BAzooka has horrible penetration value, cant even pen a Tiger.
Well. Its mostly “just” small maps so I would rather propose to make the playable maps bigger.
Normandy is really the second-worst campaign for paras since maps are clusterfucks.
Yeah i agree, it cannot pen the tiger no matter what i tried the same. should be the m9 bazooka variant instead, german can also get a better one ofc
Para is quite fun though, i hope they released more para squads, so i can only play as them exclusively
That one is in tree as well, just on later level. Or is it not possible to custom what you drop in crate?
It comes pre-determined, you cant change what the crates drops. you get m1 bazooka, AT Mines.
3 medkits if you go assault and lmgs. sniper one. havent tried the engineer one yet
German one i only played 2 times cuz im maxed, you get the Panzerfaust

Ah, i through you will be able to customize what is gonna be dropped. Then i hope Japanese Marines will come with AT Rifle and not Type 4 Launcher.
Im not sure what made you think paratroopers were put in to counter tank greyzone campers. Theres already a hard counter for them (CAS)
Im still at work so i havent got to try my new paras yet but im betting you can set up sneaky AT guns with the hammer if you really wanted

Paras were meant to counter enemy Rallys, but in some maps and some points (especially the start), you cannot counter enemy rallys. the out of bound boundary doesnt even reach it, and you cant spawn near it
The Devs literally added Rocket Launchers to Paras as Pickup in Crates, are you saying its not intended to kill tanks?
