Please don’t, let the German paratroopers get their unique paratrooper weapons! Fallschirmjäger should have Fallschirmjäger weapons!

For the Japanese paratrooper set BR II-III, I personally would have preferred Type 100 SMG (late) instead of Type of 96 LMG. But, these are good changes nonetheless.

Overall like the changes! I would like to give my two cents:
Mortars:
Match the bigger mortars with the American/British BRs, and possibly balance BR 5 Mortars around squad size, like at BR 3-4 only 2 have it, and BR 4-5 3 squad members get it.
- Soviet would get the bigger mortar around BR 3-5 (RM-40)
- Germany would get the bigger mortar around BR 3-5 (Kz 8 cm GrW 42)
- Japan if we could add a new mortar for BR 4-5 that would be nice, otherwise maybe change it to flametroopers?
Snipers:
- Soviet
- BR 2-3, ideally a new sniper is added to fit this gap and to match the other nations snipers, but I don’t personally use snipers on Paras
- Japan
- Possibly add new sniper rife(s) to fit gaps, or change snipers to just a radio squad?
Assault:
This feedback mainly relates to Soviets having an arguably much better BR1-2 weapon than the other nations, but to me there is not really any other BR 1-2 gun they could use.
- Germany
- BR 1-2 MP-40
- America
- BR 1-2, change weapon to Owen, Lanchester or even the M1A1 Thomson if we want to match the theme, BR
- BR 3-4, change to Browning M1918A2
AT Gunner:
- America
- BR 1-2, change to M1 Bazooka
- Japan
- BR 1-2 change to Type 5 rocket launcher,
- BR 2-3 change to Type 4 rocket launcher

The number of weapons is the same or are there any changes? what about the extra loadout/equipment? Will the Italian paras finally get their 6 flamethrowers again?
Well short of being able to choose your own crate my thoughts are this.
With Paratroopers being such a unique unit (requiring purchase, or much time invested as they are not in tech tree) I think their crate loadouts could include old BP/Premium weapons to make thier kit “feel” more nation specific (not saying historically accurate). also a bit of advertising for when the weapons come around again in the store
Nation Specificty is my desire for Paras. (as much as possible)
Crates get way too risky the higher the BR you go…you are better off spawning your paras on the ground at high BR…

I think the assault section being SMG’s for BR1-2 is not a terrible idea compared to the bringing a BR3 LMG into a BR1-2 but…
I really don’t like the assault loadout giving a LMG one BR grouping and an SMG/AR next. I would much rather see a separate loadout for the two weapon types, particularly because their primary weapon is probably already going to be an SMG or an AR so if the assault loadout give you one of those you are are wasting a weapon slot practically do to sharing the ammo pool of one gun between two. Would like to reference german paratroopers locked primary shares ammo with FG 42 II sniper as i have seen from others might be a problem that would be pretty bad.
Won’t personally go into all the various weapons i would rather see in the boxes as many others have already addressed most of these in better detail than i could. but still wanted to express my opinion on this matter.
Good idea.

Can I recommend for the British box that for T2-3 they receive the M1928A1 instead of the Lanchester? Personally I’d also recommend sticking to the PIAT rather than the M9.
Definitely not.
It would ruin any kind of exclusivity of such weapons.

theyd still be exclusive
Paras themselves are exclusive (especially the British and Italian ones as you cant buy them)…and whats in the box is even more so as you dont own it and no guarantee you will get a chance to open it.
Not to mention many of those I listed should have been tech tree in the first place.
but whatever. I think it would be great

That doesn’t mean they should diminish the exclusivity of other content that people have paid for.
Well you can pick it up off their body
Think of the crate like a dead body…and you are picking up their weapon

Very nice to see the subfactions getting some recognition!
Also low-key I prefer the Type 11 lmg that the BR1 event paras Japan has but the type 2 is okay too 
Also this is very exciting!!!

Oh, the Japanese no longer get that awful thing called Type 11 LMG? Good, I kinda hate that gun with both passion and purpose. Also while we are talking about paratrooper equipment, what are the chances that every faction will get paratrooper squad with flexible BR?
Only when deployed by air do paratroopers have access to supply boxes.
I hope my paratroopers can also use these boxes when deployed on ground.
Some weapons/vehicles should have been in the tech-tree to begin with.
Which make me even more radical than this.
The scarcity is artificial to begin with, just pull off the band-aid to get it over with, Britain won’t truly be Britain until we get both the Lewis and Vickers K in the tech-tree, as well as many other similar cases.

It would be a new twist on Soviet vs. Japanese 
Oh yeah, I’ll be playing much more with full British squads and vehicles for sure in the future.
