Some community members and I think it would be a nice addition to add parachute packs similar to the radio backpacks and field medical packs.
Since helicopters can not be accessed until later in each game (when a player reaches the correct rank). I do not feel it would be to over powered due to that.
It would be a fun and tactical addition that could allow a few members of a squad to try and attack a position by dropping in by a well placed helo insertion.
Since helicopters can not be accessed until later in a game it would give teams time to prepare their locations for the possibility of a helo insertion.
A parachute would also give crew members a chance to live if shot down and/or be shot out of the sky while trying to glide down.
Make the parachute packs cost a decent amount of supplies and weight also, that would make teams choose wisely how, who, and when they should utilize the option, or possibility put a max limit per game on those packs.
Anyway I thought it would be worth a shot to take the time to throw this suggestion out there and hopefully the devs will see this and maybe see what theu think is best.
I also wonder what the rest of the community thinks about this...
Thank you for your time!
