Think of it as though you are jumping from a very high altitude (which you would do in actual combat) and when you spawn you have already been in freefall for several seconds, so it is time to pull the cord.

Tbh in my view a plane flying at the altitude that you spawn simply wouldn't be realistic.

These questions have to do with the Paratroop gameplay on this map.

1. Is it a plane we will be dropping from or just a spawn point like in the BF vanilla Special forces pack. ( On one of the maps you can spawn about 200 feet in the air to simulate air dropping.)

2. If it is a plane, What type of plane is it and can it be controlled by a pilot ?

3. Can this spawn/plane be destroyed either by AA or the Russian Atack helicopter ?

4. Will all U.S. Kits be recieving a parachute ?

Wait, could someone inform me WTF is going on. I thought I was keeping up with PR, there's gonna be a map with paratroopers?!?!

Indeed there will be. Silent Eagle.

Looking forward to it.
Beats the heck out of that spawn bug on Kashan where players spawned 50 meters up and fell splat on the ground in Mec main.

Hopefully the spawn moves randomly enough to prevent AR duck hunting from below.

I'd like to see what would happen if a helicopter or jet flew into a parachuting person.

If you do that in PR, the game recognizes the parachuting person as just another object, so it's no different than flying your helicopter into a wall or something.

I had someone do that to me with the Mi-28 on Kashan once, after they disabled my Littlebird.
'Twas funny.

Person dies, helicopter/jet continues on. It's like running someone over with your humvee, but in the air
