Outside of the KT, which is useless, the balance of heavy tanks in 1v1 and 2v2 is fine as is. 3v3s and 4v4s will always be an unbalanced mess, no matter what changes are applied.

HI! If you actually read the thread thus far, you would see that weapon upgrades were discussed! Including multiple ways to restrict them!

What's more is that um.... Falls don't require ANY weapon upgrades and also start with camo. This allows them to be high impact units, granted, harder to use. You can get a lot more out of falls if you have what it takes.

Additionally falls are clearly specialist infantry, but by nature no usf squad is due to weapon racks, so they are directly competing with rifles, where falls are competing with Obers.
Apples and oranges. Only thing similar is that they both fall from a tree (which is funny cause paratroopers Amma right?)

The weapon upgrades themselves are only half the problem. Paratroopers are still an incredibly potent unit that will easily demolish Grens, in particular since they're unlikely to have weapon upgrades at that point. Heck, they'll be potent enough to wipe MG42s as well, in particular since they don't require unlocked grenades.

I'm also not sure the Falls comparison is that spot on. If you've ever been on the receiving end of a Paratrooper LMG blob, you know what I mean. Yes, Falls can do likewise to an extend, but at least they're utter glass cannons, especially because they're 4 man squads. You'll always wipe a Falls much easier than a Paratrooper squad.

That said, don't get distracted by Falls. I said this in other threads, but balancing Allied factions towards OKW is an absolute disaster move that has left Ost in its worst state ever (until the last patch, and even in the last tournament most players opted for OKW).

Was playing 1v1s at the time, and only posting between matches, that's why I had no time to respond to your post until now

You're aware they spawn at 80% RA and get another RA buff at Vet 2, right? And all spawn with weapons the game even classifies as LMGs; essentially BAR equivalents. They even get a snare if I recall correctly, and a smoke grenade.

Schirms are a lot of things, and fit poorly into a poorly designed faction, but they're not USF Airborne Company Paratroopers bad. You can be sure of that.

They're veritable elite infantry, with the DPS, veterancy and RA to show for it. You can spawn one magically out of a building and replace veteran infantry losses with them if Obers didnt already exist non-doctrinally to do the exact same thing. With Paratroopers you'd actually be hurting yourself, since all they do is bleed.

That tells me how much you actually know about the unit, namely nothing.

Absolutely, categorically no.

People complain about the PzGrens, but having Paratroopers with Thompsons or LMGs running around at minute 5 would wreck Axis unit on the field at that point, in particular Grens would be absolutely demolished.

Second, if you want to talk about Paratroopers arriving too late and being squishy with 6 man, may I introduce you to Fallschirmjägers?

I think the poll says it all. Case closed.
