Just a FYI, if this game is based on real-world/historical accuracy, then the medic and engineer classes are not combat infantry jobs. In the USA we have job codes for our military.
In the military job codes, called an MOS, the medics are 68W (previously 91B) and the engineers are 12B. This would make these squads eligible to be slotted in the open slots in the squad page.
I’m pretty sure DF is not concerned with historical accuracy. 
If you think about it, it’s a good point. especially the medic squads…those are actually combat support positions. They always have been.
it absolutely is not.
beacause:
paras literally paradrops with heavy weapons ( which no sane person would do during ww2 )
you can pretty much build fortress type of defenses from a single hammer
you can bring an entire army out of a rally or a truck
artilleries in d-day for the allied? ( never knew they had rocket ships, or common artillery pieces on boats )
luftwaffe in berlin? ( a bit of a stretch, but still valid )
we literally use artillery pieces at 200 meters ( whizbang & 15cm halftrack )
you can somehow increase your skin to be almost made of metal with a single perk
&
a mere 2mm of armor can somehow reduce all damage across the board with no movement penalties
battles are fought for a single house of few meters where 100 of soldiers have to cramp up in there
everyone can drive a bikes, planes, cars, tanks etc with no training, but for some reason an APC driver is entitled and needs his specifaction which no other soldier can use apcs.
you can shoulder fire anti tank rifles, machinegun etc without dislocating the player shoulder
you can use protos that are somehow better than entire streamlined and massed produced weapons
and i’m sure there are many more.
so… no. just, no.
No it isn’t, why would you even consider that? Did the chinese volunteers fighting italians with volkssturm guns in tunisia not make it obvious?
Japanese soldiers are anime characters. They can jump and shoot that thing continuously while standing. Plus also carry 1kg katana, 1kg pistol, 4kg+ rifle, nades and shitload of ammo for all of them. 70kg of equipment is nothing for them.
Cant wait to be able to lift this and shoot at tanks 
With a bit of training we could dual wield them or maybe throw APCs filled with TNT at enemies
First of all, yes they did drop with heavy weapons to include BARs. To second that, yes paratroopers dropped with heavier weapons, especially those airborne field artillery units who rode in gliders. They were called Glider Riders and some of their ordnance were 105mm, heavy mortars, 5" guns and jeeps. The jeeps were for the Airborne Infantry FOs (not a combat infantry MOS, BTW).
In addition they dropped with some serious amount of TNT, and many exploded in midair on the way down.
The Airborne also had porimary and secondary drop zones. The saying “we’re the Airbrone we’re supposed to be surrounded” was very true. Re the DZs if the priamry was closed they went to the secondary one.
Yeah it isn’t based on accuracy, I can accept that.
But one thing I can say, is the anti-American sentiment is pretty thick here. Pretty gross if youy ask me.
You need to go back and read your history, but my source was my Grandfather who dropped with the 82nd under Jumpin’ General James Gavin.
You would be surprised. Why wouldn’t the Japanese soldier fight on the Italian front? There is no evidence that it didn’t happen. Think about: You are allied with the other Axis nations. You go where you are ordered because you are allied with the Axis to begin with. If you are needed there, you go. It’s that simple.
The same thing goes for the Chinese soldier (pre-communism). If youa re needed there and want to voulnteer, they would gladly take you.
Sure Para’s dropped with heavy weapons…
In crates, not on their person. (British Paras all dropping with heavy Vickers LMG is not realistic, these weapons would have been inside drop crates and then retrieved, and you certainly would not have an entire squad equipped with them)
Just imagine a US paratrooper dropping from the sky with a M1919A6 Browning strapped to them, instead of the more realistic scenario of a US paratrooper dropping with an M1 Carbine strapped to them, using the M1 Carbine to fight his way to a drop crate, and THEN retrieving the M1919A6 Browning.
my mistake…they dropped with .30 belt fed weapons.
just imagine that and then factor in the ammo, and the ammo bearers. insane. One thing grandpa told me when i was akid…,poaratroopers drowned in 2 feet of water. sunken holes courtesy of Rommel (a freaking genius BTW), and getting stuck and drowning in 2’ of water.
fun fact.
the soviets, italians and germans pretty much didn’t.
they dropped with just a pistol to then retrieve their weapons.
it is worthed to mention that the BARs wasn’t standard issued to paratrooper units either.
but as far as the game goes, it’s " alright ". don’t see any of them gliders.
so…
but go on king. you sure seem to know your history uh.
just pick and chose one of many points and only completely disregard any other meaningful points that completely contraddicts your initial argument.
if anyone who is:
here, is pretty much you.
one could almost say a projection.
but i’ll leave it at that,
but that wasn’t your initial claim mister.
which we can skip over.
as it goes for combat medics, those might not have been a " thing " on the US.
but there were combat medics in the german and soviet army.
which it’s indicative of " holy balans " among all factions that the developers have gone for.
because as the game goes, they don’t care about historically accuracy. even if it’s meant to replicate it.
medics in this game are nothing more than swiss with medical capabilities.
as… we can’t even have the red cross anyway.
additional edit:
baseless claims will get you no where 
or assumptions based on prejudices of my native name.
especially when you have no idea to who you are talking to.
but allow me to introduce my self. i am an individual who loves historically accuracy and spends most of her time researching and makes historical accurate mods. or loadouts for that matter.
which guess what. i kinda play all nations.
i’m fairly sure you don’t. but i’ll keep it for my self.
and no, not to brag of course. but to educate your guesses
Arent engineers/pionieers also those responsible for handling demolition charges and other explosives to breach heavy fortrifications so they indeed were also a combat roles during WW 2.
Combat Engineers are definitely a thing. The Soviets even had Assault Engineer Brigades armed with flame throwers and such.
it wasn’t an assumption on your name alone but I have come across anti-American seniment in this game (a little, not a lot) but definitley in WT and WoWS. But I still play becquse I love iot. I too play all sides. I won’t post my squads or anything, but I can say it’s a lot of fun blasting tanks with my Panzer.
are the name accurate as well?
