With the advent of the Soviet Paratroopers, Paratroopers that can change their starting weaponry were added to the game which was a long requested feature, said feature should not be arbitrarily faction locked to the Russians, so I vote that we get one final round of event/premium Paras for every nation that has this ability

How about adding tech tree paratroopers, they are long overdue by now especially if they want to release the game on steam and not instantly get review bombed because there is no way for new players to get them for free.
They even advertise them in an image showing the game on steam, a very prick move towards new players.

They called it a “unique mechanic” so it may be not so easy.
Also devs have a lot of problems with retrofitting anything to old squads.
Hence why I am not asking for the feature to be added retroactively as that may be beyond the devs reasonable ability(especially considering those older Paras have unique guns)
I am asking for new para squads with this feature

And customizable paratrooper boxes.

We cannot give the Soviets another paratrooper squad if this event were to go through otherwise they can start cycling paratrooper at low level
You say this as if it wouldn’t allow US to cycle paratroopers at BR2 as well
I’m talking about BR1
Doesn’t really matter. Paras are quite mediocre after recent “fixes” to parachuting.
Taking 3 of them to your lineup is just waste of slots. I myself do have only 1 para squad per lineup.
Only exception is US BR5, because those paras do possess weapons which are better than tech tree weapons.
I have 2x para USSR, event and one i bought for extra XP, both in loadout, but i find i don’t really use them much anymore
US i not running any (i do have them) ofc
Germany only running the event one
Japan same only 1x event paras

BR1 and BR2 are the same thing, they match with the same things
Didn’t the Stalingrad engineer squads have the “unique mechanic” of getting to use an MKB?
OP paras being available only to Soviets at low BR is not unique, its broken.
That being said, paras should get banished out of BR1 and BR2. Let them add to the chaos of Max BR, but early war games should stay unspoiled by this stupid mechanic.

They are technically the same thing but you should be seeing BR one players more often
The Soviets need a place to lick their wounds and recharge so they can go back to BR5 eventually
