The best possible event for paratroopers, and to try out new class… give us one big map of crete, give us some pre-equipped squads for it, some combination mode of destruction and invasion … or maybe some hostage/VIP escort mode idk 
just all the modes like it is now… as a main reward of event would be free Paratrooper squad

Can’t w8 to paradrop my king tiger! Yet you right, operation Mercury is highly overlooked by many game developers. Would like to see it in our game.

Yeah, helper already said there will be upcoming event with free para squad as reward.
Crete is kinda meh for me, instead I would love to see theirs deployment on the river Neva, Leningrad.
Unternehmen Merkur was a disaster to paratroopers with glider crash and incorrect drop on kill zone involved.I dont think dev would use glider as an deep strike measure, would they?
Battle of Crete for Early Fallshcirmjagers would be awesome. Paradropping fell out of favor after Crete…But when I look at the numbers, and the fact it was a victory…Im not sure why. Looked like a pretty damn good victory to me…numbers wise…plane losses were a bit stupid but over all, 4 to 1 ratio vs an entrenced more numerous defender.)
Market Garden for Red Devils would be sick (Once they Make some Arnhem maps…post scriptum did these so well)

Well, it could be a full map for a low-BR, without any FG…
FG is literally the most overrated weapon in this game.
I didn’t mean any disrespect. Quite the opposite really.
From what I understand they rushed a major operation with insufficient intelligence (believing there was only 5000 troops on crete…not 43000), attacked A numerically superior force, entrenched, That also knew they were coming. And for every 1 axis solider, 4 allied soldiers were lost.
To be the attacking force on a fortified position, and outnumbered 2 to 1…and yet to take the objective with still 75% of your force intact…I guess I didn’t think that classified that as pyric. All death is tragic, but that’s remarkable. How can that be when they were getting cut down in their chutes. I’m sure it was horrific for someone who was actually there. I honestly cant believe they recovered after been set upon like that while helpless
And while the Germans decided that was unacceptable and canned air drops from that point on, the allies saw it as bloody effective and invested in its use (and Im pretty sure they faired much worse in all their major operations)

I have been wanting to use Greek and Yugoslavian troops for some time and would be happy to have a front in the Balkans - Greece region.
If it is by nationality, will it be “Pan-European”?
I am also waiting for the day when Siam and Mongolia become a “Pan-Asian” distinction.

Most of the paratroopers were used as elite land infantry in war. After the crete disaster and another unknown disaster that happened in eastern front’s central sector in early 1942, moustache man lost its enthusiasm about para soldiers. Very limited parachute drop operations were conducted after those events in war.
