The 1st Polish Independent Paratrooper Brigade was Poland’s first paratroopers raised by the Polish government in exile in Britain. The unit was originally created with the goal of liberating Poland but it was decided it was too impossible a task. The paratroopers finally got a mission during Operation Market Garden to drop in to relieve British paratroopers as their operation deteriorated
This squad’s unique weapon should be the Blyskawica SMG, the only mass produced SMG made entirely in secret by the Polish Home Army in their resistance against Germany
Polish paratroopers, yes! Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki, i do bitki, i do szklanki!
But they should have tech tree weapons they can change like Soviet paratroopers.
Save the Blyskawica for later.
I don’t like this idea. Western paratroopers with primitive weapons from occupied Poland. It makes no sense.
The DF doesn’t have the right voice lines anyway, and the Błyskawica submachine gun it’s the perfect weapon of partisans, not paratroopers.
1st (Polish) Independent Parachute Brigade could appear in the game and even better if it had the ability to carry ordinary weapons from the technology tree.
I’d love Polish paras. But a gun made in secret in Polen used by UK trained Polish paras?
Better have a Guerrilla squad with that and the Para’s with what they actually used.
Let’s be honest. They need voices too and they better reuse the voices for multiple squads.
Guerillas, paras and might aswell add a polish pilot. Can go from Hurricane to P-47 or much in between.
Yes its a little wonky but so are lots of other things in this game. The point is that it’s thematic.
I disagree with this because why make a very unique unit that only fought in a single battle in the Research Tree. That’s why the Polish Paratroopers are perfect for a unique squad. The Research Paratroopers when they are added should be British and America since those are the main factions
I disagree with this because I wouldn’t want a unique Polish squad with a unique weapon be a British weapon and every single instance of that weapon would be Polish instead of British. It’s like if the Spitfire was in an American squad. Or say the Super Pershing is finally added but then its a British squad with posh accents. It’s about integrity. If the Sten Mk V is added it better be a British squad
That’s why I think it’s perfect to give the Polish Paratroopers a Polish weapon. It’s represenation

It’s good that you take care of it, but I don’t think they necessarily need to have a unique weapon. Unique weapons, permanently assigned to a squad, sometimes have more disadvantages than advantages. In this case empty space, the possibility of adding any weapon from the research tree, I think is a better solution.
I prefer as historically accurate as possible. I don’t really understand your examples as they don’t seem historical (without further elaboration).
If the Polish paratroopers used British weapons then give them British weapons. If the Polish smg you mentioned was used by resistance fighters then give it to a Polish Guerrilla squad.
Or… make the Polish Guerrilla squad TT, with the SMG in the same unlock and the Para’s have interchangeable weapons like the Russian Event and Premiun one.
The point is that usually Premium/ event squads are unique/ distinguished units but in the case of Polish Paratroopers it would disrupt “national integrity” if they were armed with some other allied weapon. If they added the Super Pershing but gave it a British squad people would be upset because it’s the ultimate American weapon.
Polish Paratroopers would in all likelihoods be a Premium or event squad and that means they’d get a unique weapon, so if they get anything that’s not Polish that would mean every single of that weapon would be attached with Poles. For example, let’s say they were to have the Sten Mk V the ultimate Sten. A weapon that was 99.999% used by British would be forever represented in game by Polish paratroopers that only fought in one battle.
That is why for a unique squad such as this I say give them a Polish weapon. It’s prefect representation
So your example still isn’t applicable here. I am not suggesting giving them some top British weapon at expense of the British. I don’t know where you’re getting this from. I am suggesting they get what they actually used and if reality is at the expense of “national integrity” then too bad… Pretty sure they can just get Lee Enfields and a Polish Guerrilla squad gets the gun they actually used and both can unequip and use other guns.
What I am suggesting still gets you what you want. Polish para’s with their Polish guns… But you seem to be deadset to force everyone to use a gun the squad you are talking about never used…
Anyways, it’s up to the dev’s. I’ve highlighted it. I hope we get the Polish para’s. I hope we get the Polish SMG. Just please please please don’t lock them to it unless there is historic proof of the Polish para’s actually using it.
You are not getting my point. I am saying that if they get added as a squad with a unique weapon then they could be armed with something that, even if it doesn’t make sense historically, would tarnish as I say national integrity. I use the Sten Mk V as an example since it was explicitly used by Paratroopers but obviously mostly the British
I know they’re Paratroopers and they used X and I get that, but in this game premium/ event squads have a unique weapon. In my view the fact that they’re a Polish unit takes more precedence in their unique weapon than being Paratroopers, it’s their “unique factor”. Just like how they gave the French Resistance a French rifle. They knew what they were doing
Both Russian para squads have interchangeable weapons. Imo that should be the norm.
I don’t really get why you’re so deadset on locking weapons when there is precedent for it to be interchangeable. You’d still get the same result for your own gameplay why force others to like what you like.
I mean it’s not really locking or forced since that has been the standard since the very beginning. It’s been the rule, not the exception. The Soviets are the exception
I do think there should be Research Paratroopers that are customizable, but in this case I wouldn’t have an extra unique squad as these Polish Paratroopers be it, it should and would be Americans and British
But while there should be Research paratroopers that doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be premium/ event paratroopers with unique weapons
I suppose you’d prefer players say “meh, the 5th allied paratrooper squad with locked weapons. I’ll get it outta FOMO and play for a couple matches before i forget about them”
Vs
“Finally a western allies para squad with interchangeable weapons. I’ll have a place for these in each of my line ups”
It’s your suggestion but i hope any dev reading it takes the comments into consideration.
hpe it looks more like a rat rod than show room finish
why force others to like what you like.
