I disagree with a limit of any kind for infantry. Paras are still spammed now in some top tier games, only difference is youre up against people who bought them instead of everyone having access.
Paras are only as strong as the player using them plus the weight of your own team and the enemys.
The only middle ground could possibly be only 3 Paras can be dropping at the same time, or whatever the limit of APCs, otherwise you have to spawn on the ground
It’s kind of obnoxious to have 4 or 5 paratrooper planes fly over at the start of a match, because now I’m split between shooting them down and making sure they dont land to potentially build rallies and running off to build my own rally
that only happens maybe… once every 100 or so games, but if you give free paratroopers to every player that number is obviously going to shoot up
They should work like the customizable paras from the Soviets - obviously.
As suggested above, the researchable counterparts should simply be given semi-auto weapons, without access to submachine guns. Yes, the BR5 issue will still persist, but something still needs to be done about Riflemen having automatic weapons.
it’d be pretty ridiculous if you have german paratroopers and are unable to give them the paratrooper rifle designed for them
I even know a few such rifles.
Kar98k Klappschaft
Kar98k Abnehmbarer Lauf
G33/40
G40k
not necessarily what I had in mind, but sure
I’m talking about if they add free paratroopers into the game. The FG 42 with a grenade launcher would pretty much be useless, because I don’t use the grenade launcher because I play on Xbox, and it gets in the way of switching to semi-auto. So the free squad would be exactly the same.
Yeah this whole idea is just very complicated to be implemented, even if I don’t have a paratrooper squad for my faction of choice.
I could’ve sworn that gaijin mentioned in some old news post about how they were gonna add paratroopers to the tech tree for all nations. Its been so long that I cant even remember when they would’ve said that or if i’m just misremembering them saying it at all. Doesn’t really matter either way tho, as soon as paratroopers were added to the game, they should’ve been added to the tech tree as well.
It is indeed
