Paratrooper Support Squad

Is there any reason that this squad needs to be different from the regular Paratrooper squad? With the last few patches Relic has started to merge lots of the niche special infantry types (i.e. Partisans and Irregulars)... I feel like the Recon commander might be more viable if either they had access to Paras on their own or if they weren't bundled in with a random support package at the end and had totally different stats.

I think back to vCOH infantry commander, when the highest CP ability was an off-map support group of random units. I never used it. I don't want some random group of trash, I need units to do a specific job, especially late game.

Remove useless and crippling AT gun drop, lower the cost to account for it, there, fixed-recon company won't be meta, but will be useful.

3rd option should be "other-please specify", so I've voted for that

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

Believe it or not double zook Paras have won me at least one game, plus the ability to equip Thompson support Paras with two BARs is...kind of insane.

Still, I voted yes, if it means the ability can be reworked and recon can be competitive.

Ah alright thanks! Still, isnt that better than regular paras With 4 thompsons...? or are the stats so different?

yeah, but the ridiculous variety in infantry units is irritating. i think about the soviets... if you want guards or shocks there are several commanders available to you, allowing you to have some flexibility. adding regular paras to recon or a new US commander with varied abilities might even things out a bit.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
