as far as I know parachuting right next to or pretty much on top of the enemy is not used in real life. Maybe some special forces missions, but that's about it.

We all know that in pr it would be used so that 90% of the paratroopers would land inside a flag cap radius. I don't see many people landing more than 50m away from the enemy.

Exactly, thats why stuff like the 30 second flight time are good, is there a way to cause damage as if going outside boundaries if in a parachute over a CP? thatd be good

imo any squad that lets a parachute float above them for 30 seconds and land right next to them deserves everything they get with the new aim deviation etc they should be no problem to shoot.

Plus adding restrictions should make the whole parachute idea useless without teamwork which is always good when something is too difficult to just pick up and pwn

what needs to be done in 0.6 sometime;

heli full of MEC pilots heli full of USA pilots

both jump out from same place

and have a midair pistol firefight =)

There really should be a paratrooper kit. parachute and a rifle, not just a pistol.

Shorter Rifle (M4 and equivalents), signal grenade, 4 mags, knife, field dressing, no body armour.

Would need epic teamwork to be of any use and would be fantastic with decent teamwork.
It'd be great.

That would be like, the coolest thing to watch, and definitley useful on a map like al burj, a team of paras dropping in on the beach at the same time as a apc landing and maybe a heli flyover, that would cause one hell of a mess

My squad did this the other night on TG on Jabal to a enemy AAA gun. It kept shooting the choppers and toward the carrier so we 5 man pilot dropped on him, we all died but we killed the gunner on it.

Fully agree- But only on the largest maps.

Also, they should have severe ammo restrictions,

and a kit limit per team (so say only 1 squad will have them on the team)
- ofc this has the less desirable side effect..."U n00b, our squad is the para squad..."

We'll just see I suppose
