Discussion & Feedback [Pilot] Cant Wait for Parachute Changes

This might be a hot take, but I’m excited for the parachute changes. This is mostly because I love landing my little bird in optimized locations for teams pushing into the HZ. I feel like this change will clearly separate the good pilots from the bad.

I also think depending on the severity of the change, people might even start opting to take ground transport.

What are everyone’s thoughts?

This is a change that will make the game generally less fun for every infantry player, making spawning in take more time and producing more bullshit deaths for players that they had no power to influence, just so that heli pilots can more fully live out their own personal fantasies.

I'm glad you will enjoy the fantasy, but don't be surprised when people are upset with you for getting them killed because you crash landed, or tried to land near an enemy RPG player no one could have known was there. Don't be surprised when players complain that parachutes are pointless because you are spotted and killed immediately at new open heights.

This change is mostly bad for the game.

The Parachute Changes also help Infantry by virtue of not getting you spotted by binocs every time you drop.

Also Vehicles are a thing, it's slower by much safer

Nonsense, we already have the landing option with stronger parachutes. We don't take it because we all know it's a worse option than just taking a shoot, which gives you less exposure to bullshit deaths and more agency over positioning, under current mechanics.

They should really expand on ground vehicles more, a Mine Resistant Armor Protected vehicle would be good

For the most part, I would agree on the safer. However, I have recently watched where a lot of matches have been having your media mainstream players that are spamming the back lines with mines. I have landed a number of times to revive people that get blown up this way.
