This is sort of an addendum to my previous post.
We have now gotten two Soviet Paratrooper squads, one event and one Premium. Unlike all the other Paratrooper squads they do not have a unique weapon and you can equip anything. The event’s starting weapon is the Federov and the Premium’s the AS-44.
Now ask yourself why would you buy a Premium Soviet Paratrooper squad if they have a base game gun, not to mention you could literally give the event Paratroopers the same weapon. It’s basically pointless and redundant
I suggest instead you just give these 2 Paratrooper squads a unique weapon (like all the others)
For the Event squad, to keep it in line with being early war, you can give it the Federov-Degtytarev an attempt to turn the Fed into an LMG feeding from Degtytarev LMG magazines
For the Premium squad, to keep it in line with being late war, you can give it a late war unique prototype assault rifle or SMG such as the Avtomat Shpagin 1944 or the PPSh 45

Lol because that is the only way to get another Soviet paratrooper now?
Then it will lost the ability to equip whatever weapon we want. I don’t want the squad to be lock to a certain BR because of the gun.
But they could just add more Paratrooper squads that fit into whatever specific BR. Basically how it was then when we had campaigns and now with the new system. Here’s Squad X for this BR, Squad Y for this BR
And even then it’s not like BRs are super convoluted. There’s only 3 basic periods early, mid, and late
I agree that every premium and event squad should get a unique weapon, these paratroopers not having one makes them seem incomplete. It would be great for them to get a special weapon of their own, but at this point it would be better to just make entirely new paratrooper squads with new weapons. People have already bought these with the promise of being able to use whatever they want. They are unique in their lack of having a unique weapon lol.
I hear you, I just think it’s a shame that we finally get Soviet Paratroopers and they end up being lazy and generic (probably because the devs just wanted to pump them out) while all the others unique
