I have one Question:
Why no a limited kit with a parachute?
Sometimes its very good to have a parachute ;D
Last Weekend we make a jumpteam on kokan and we landed directly on the cash
but wait we have no flares in the pilot kit....

There used to a spawnable unlimited Spec Ops kit back in.... 0.4? Dr. Rank would fly a cow in circles up and up and up and 5 guys would bail out the back and open the chutes just before they hit the ground, right above a flag. Worked too, some of the times ;)
But PR Isnt supposed to have leet spec ops like you find in COD so they were taken out

The default kits of the German forces on Silent Eagle and the Canadian forces on Yamalia have parachutes.
Jump away...

I'm guessing you have never played Silent Eagle?

welcome to the fourms

1. the sugestion thread is closed for a while to allow .95 to soak in

2. this a huge resuggestion, and is probably going to get lock in 5 minutes

airborn has been sugested to death. we have "airborn" on maps like Silent Eagle. airborn falls under 1337 sp3c 0pz, and PR doesnt do 1337 sp3c 0pz. everyone would want one and nothing would get done.

There are para units, but parachutes are not in a selectable kit apart from Pilots.

If you want to play with parachutes, find a server running Yamalia or Silent Eagle

Airborne kits are limited to certain maps. If you can name a parachute-borne raid on a tactical objective (i.e. weapons cache), especially one located in a city, I'd give you a gold star. It doesn't happen outside of special forces, and even in that case it is extremely rare, because of the time and equipment costs.

Parachutes are on kits where they would be used in real life, putting them on every single map would be problematic in terms of realism and gameplay. Locking this as a suggestion.
