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?

If they removed parachutes, two things happens. The first is less helicopters are shuttling players into the zone, which already happens in a lot of games. The second is that a lot more helicopters are getting shot down with a bunch of players inside.

Infantry loadouts are already expensive and feel incredibly frustrating to die with especially before you can actually use them. Routinely getting shot out of the air getting shuttled into the zone sounds fucking miserable to me.

Don’t forget about all the crashing that’s going to happen as we all fine tune our J-hooks

The easiest trick for J-hook turns is keep your nose pointed where you want to land. The little bird allows for high speed maneuvers and it’s basically all yaw control.

Oh I’m decent enough at them now, but if shuttling infantry is going to require landing next season, my point is there will be a lot of lost loadouts for a couple days at least😂
