Idea for the Expert Extraction Pilot Perk

[Sweet Liberty]

So I had an idea for the Expert Extraction Pilot perk. It should allow the Helldiver to call in an extraction anywhere on the map as a one time use. (Only one person on a team can have the perk.) The pilot will come to the location provide covering fire and drop a winch/ rappel rope to pick the divers up. (This will also help with pathing so the pelican doesn't have to land on a pad or in an open area) The divers then can rappel or be winched into the pelican taking between 5-10 seconds per diver. The pelican can hover there for lets say 60-90 seconds The upside is that you can call in extraction anywhere and receive covering fire. The downside is that you have to extract 1 at a time on a timer. As more go up it will be harder for the remaining divers to survive. If they don't all get up in time the pelican leaves. I feel this will add a dynamic use to the perk while also changing the end of a mission to a risk/ reward/ cinematic ending. Numbers can be adjusted of course. What does everyone think?

Pretty nice idea.
Only problem is with one person leaving at a time has the loophole of playing solo.
Or only having two members, It won’t be too difficult to extract.
If it had a different drawback then might be cool, Although some people might not have the patience to wait for their members to extract, And may get repetitive to extract four times each time you use the stratagem.

Unless the diver on the rope is still killable by enemies and gets targeted by them it'd be too op.

Agreed for the timing, maybe 15 seconds of hang time per player? If you call it as a solo it will only hang around for 15 seconds for example. As far as patience goes, I could see some players just calling it in-for themselves at the expense of the team. Counter that by letting the team still extract normally if someone leaves them behind. As for being repetitive, the game in its nature is repetitive I think. This would just allow for another option based on an essentially useless perk currently. (30 seconds reduced time of arrival) Thank you for the input.
