The event (not campaign) for USSR vs Japan was officially mentioned so what is the status on that?

Overal like the changes, but dislike the removal of Machineguns from the boxes on some BR’s.
Having double SMG is just kinda wierd

Good news, but some choices confused me. Would like to give some suggestions:
Soviet Supply Box
Spoiler
BR I-II
Looks fine for me, but i think PTRS-41 is not the optimal choice. It’s heavy and despite it’s my favorite semi-auto rifle on BR I-II, i think paratroopers should have more dedicated AT option. Would be better to give M1 Bazooka instead.
BR II-III
Perfect, no suggestions
BR III-IV
Not sure about PPD-40, from my personal expirience, people usually equip PPSh-41 SMG with 35 round mag. And, unlike on BR II, there are other option exist - LMG (DP-27/DPM/DT-29). The rest is perfect
BR IV-V
Don’t like RD-44, it’s prototype and actually closer to AR and SMG than LMG, would be better to stick with DT-29. The rest is perfect
GermanSupply Box
Spoiler
BR I-II
Not a big deal, but MP 40 perform better than MP 38. Rest is fine
BR II-III
This one perfect
BR III-IV
Kiraly afaik is not a widespread weapon among german paratroopers, but MG 42 is. Also, not sure panzerschrek is a good option, but panzerfaust 60/100 definetly is, and looks more logical
BR IV-V
This one perfect
Italian Supply Box
Spoiler
Since we lack of weapons for them, some suggestions contain german weapons
BR I-II
This one perfect
BR II-III
This one perfect
BR III-IV
Not sure panzerschrek is a good option, but panzerfaust 60/100 definetly is, and looks more logical
BR IV-V
StG 44 and MKb 42 i would suggest to replace with FG 42 II/MG 42 100 and FG 42 II (Scoped) respectively. Will be more logical.
American Supply Box
Spoiler
Since we lack of weapons for them, some suggestions contain german weapons
BR I-II
US and Boys AT Rifle? Just no. US and M1 Bazooka - definetly yes!. Also, since M1A1 Thompson SMG is now BR II, i would suggest to add it instead of M3A1. Rest is good
BR II-III
This one odd, why early M1918 Browning and Lee-Enfield? Should be M1918A2 Browning and M1 Garand (Scoped, BR III version) instead
BR III-IV
Replace USMC Thompson with M1 Thompson and will be fine, both BR IV, shouldn’t be a problem. Not sure about panzerschek again, M9 imo more than fine.
BR IV-V
Well, i don’t like panzerchrek for US paratroopers, but there is no alternatives. IOW stay as it is.
British Supply Box
Spoiler
Since we lack of weapons for them, some suggestions contain german weapons
BR I-II
Replace Springfield with Lee-Enfield and will be fine.
BR II-III
This one fine
BR III-IV
Well, Johnson could be replaced with M1928A1 Thompson for more aethetic. Other weapons don’t have british-used variant, so no alternatives
BR IV-V
Same as previous variant, but this time M1928A1 with drum mag.

So gold and special event paratroopers（Like Italy Fire Extinguisher and i could not see the fire Extinguisher in this announcement）will be change the same？
Those historically military issued or generic looking weapons (like Bren 100 or Solothurn) being made into BP weapons are kinda backfired now when it comes to this Paratrooper customization. It could easily be added to its respective factions but it couldn’t.

Wouldn’t having fg 42 GL and sniper fg 42 II share same ammo pull?
Both Krieghoff and GL have 20/80 but Sniper FG42 with large mag pouch has 20/100, so I think it not gonna share the same ammo pool.

Don’t forget the horrendous spread of the FG42 as a sniper.

That’s no longer a thing… For months.

yeah，it will be strange.
Isn’t it fixed patches ago? I’ve been using it for a while and it’s quite accurate now.
That’s been fixed for a year if not more

It misses more than it shoots, I much prefer the Gewehr 43
The Gewehr 43 has better accuracy, the FG42 would be my only complaint with the BR V paratrooper boxes

Now that problem go back in full circle. Devs please design a system that let players choose whatever they want to use in crate and add Paratrooper class into Tech Tree.

1.Will the FG-42 spiner shares ammo with paratroopers armed with krighoff or fg42? From a modeling perspective, the former uses a single row single feed magazine and should not share ammunition with the FG42 rifle with a double row magazine.
2.What about the flamethrower of the Ita paratrooper? Will it be deleted?

The Hyde I don’t even get, when there’s a perfectly useable Thompson sitting in the tech-tree…
As for the Johnson LMG… well it is what it is, I personally think both the Lewis and the Vickers K should be in the US tech-tree (it’s just a bonus that this would make the British Paras fully customizable), and when that is the case the Johnson should get switched for something more appropriate. Until then? Preferably the same thompson but with the 30 round box instead, or a BAR.

They could also add
Don’t repeat the same mistake using the FG 42 sniper for the Krieghoff FG and FG 42 with grenade launcher paratroopers.
You once changed their sniper loadout to G43 since the weapons share the same ammo pool.
Give them Sniper StG or MkB.
Just checked in-game.
