Easy to add Japanese paratroopers for event since we never had BR III event paratroopers will be nice event for Japan they will have:
Type 2 smg with bayonet normally was folding bayonet like on the Hino Rifle and Type 44 carbine.
‘‘The improved vehicle-mounted version of the Prototype Type 2 submachine gun was mainly produced by Tomojun Yoshida at the Kokura Army Arsenal, and was equipped with a folding bayonet similar to the Type 44 cavalry.’’

It will be very similar to BR I premium squad for Germany paratroopers. As how they will looks something like this:
Rough in game image:
If the devs are more generous can make them even more unique that if you spawn them on the ground they spawn like a raider class in a armored car Type 93 will fit them perfectly since they are Special Naval Landing Forces and Type 93 was used by them and can hold 6 people will be the perfect Unique mechanic for such squad. So they can be combination between raider and paratrooper just like USSR have combination between recon and radio operator and Germany between Medic and Raider.

I think this is the lowest effort for the devs so we can have finally second event for Japanese paratroopers…really it takes only bayonet and a bit of recoloring of existing outfits…

“Special Naval forces dropping in Burma behind enemy lines, colorized, 1942”
(Love the image, looks cool)
But back on topic I think it would be cool to see a para squad for Japan. BUT, I think it should have swappable guns like how the soviets para squads are.
And could you provide some evidences of the
Type 2 with a bayonet? And wouldn’t the TT one get it or is this actually a different variant of the type 2?

Wouldn’t it have been easier for the developers to simply modify the airborne mechanics to allow weapon switching—as is the case for Soviet paratroopers—and apply this same simple approach to the airborne units of all nations.

They should finally add paratroopers into tech tree before doing any other event with them.

They already said they won’t do this.
That’s not exactly what they have said. So I have no clue what are you trying to achieve here right now.
The AI is retarded I had to make bayonet myself since it could not make the right bayonet so I just give up xD
I took it from the Japanese Wikipedia:
Prototype Type 2 Submachine Gun - Wikipedia

I have to agree we need TT para squads, even if we only got 1 squad per nation. Being TT they should have the same ability as the SOV and be able to switch weapons.
After that we should be able to switch para squad weapons that are already in the TT (like the AS-44 for example) with all para squads that are paid and event per specified faction (within reason).
As for this idea, yeah I can see this being a thing, most of the stuff is already there just scattered so it should be consolidated into a squad, which won’t be that difficult.
