Let me be clear, I want airborne content in the campaign, not only exclusive to limited time events. So I started to think about it and I have two main ideas :
1.New class - Airborne infantry (nerfed paratroopers)
- 9 man class, supplied by crate, but transported in more fragile gliders, taken down by planes easier
-After they equip the crate it will offer equipment and classes, limited by the basis of the infantry squad
-An important change from normal paratroopers is that airborne infantry can equip different weapons in the airborne research tree section fully available for every player (no premium airborne infantry)
-If you are wondering what squads will be offered in the research, these are which I thought of :
For the Axis :
22nd Infantry Division / 5th Mountain Division (Wehrmacht) and for Italy the 185th Paratroopers Regiment “Folgore”
For the Allies :
1st Independent Parachute Brigade (Poland) and 1st Airborne Division (United Kingdom) / 82nd Airborne Division (U.S) (and a few more that I didn’t bother researching, there are a lot of allied airborne divisions)
For the Soviets :
Every paratrooper division, excluding 4th Airborne Corps
For the Japanese :
Teishin Shudan - Also like every campaign squad airborne infantry will level up and start with no supply crate, and eventually will become a bigger paratrooper squad
-Like normal infantry airborne infantry could be equiped with weapons from BR II (Kar98s and MP40s) to BR V (FG42s and STG44s) but with very specific light equipment, that could be worn by parachute infantry
2.Just event to campaign converted paratroopers
-Separate airborne research tree section (like from the previous idea)
-When certain time passes from paratroopers event the squad will be added to the new research tree section (I think the same with every added event squad - if there is a gameplay balance just make them acquireable trough specific and harder tasks and not with research, I think that this is very important - having fun without waiting for a specific event)
Also I think every soldier in enlisted should receive awards and medals visible to everyone (that could be changed in the customization menu) , these will be the rewards received after the battle (Battle Hero, Most vehicles destroyed, Most enemy kills and etc.) that will show your teammates a sign a status for the specific soldier. And squads (I’m talking about guards, mountain and airborne divisions) should have their respectful badges (like the awards and medals).
Visual examples for WW2 badges :
There are a lot more than just these.
