Currently paratroopers have a loopholes where you can equipped them with low br (br 1 or 2) weapons to bring them to low br battles. The problem is their supply crate weapon is still br 4 and 5. So what you now have is some dude with fg42 or Thompson 100 drum running around when most everyone have is bolt action rifle. Same problem before the BR system matchmaking.
The solution for this is quite simple. Fixed the BR rating for the paratroopers class rather than the weapons, or fix it into the supply crate weapon.
literaly only the new Soviet units can pick their weapon and lower thier BR.
The others have some higher BR weapons in their crates, but no Thompson 100 rounds or Fg42s
If you are Truly BR 2 (and not in bugged match making) you wont see them.

Well this example is irrelevant because the two squads with FG42 are both BR 5, same for the squads with Vickers and Thompson 100. So yeah they can fight bolties, only if some people decide to play bolties at top BR.
This however, is true and is a quite problematic topic. I mean Panzerfaust 100 vs Pz II, really ? What’s funny is that Soviets dont have AT launcher at BR1-2 (only at rifle) but can still bring the best AT launcher by paying for paratroopers…

How about number of flamer/paratrooper squads that Germans can take? Let’s remove most of them, for true equality
I’m just saying this issue could’ve been entirely avoided if they just gave the Soviet paratroopers a unique weapon, like all the others, and thus having a definitive BR. Plus there’s the immersive issue.
While I have advocated for giving the Soviets a late war prototype AT weapon instead of the Panzerfaust (because let’s be honest with where the game is going it’s fair game), but at the moment it’s at least immersive for the Soviets to have Panzerfausts. However I wouldn’t mess with the Premium Soviet BRs because I do not want to see Panzerfausts in 1942 Stalingrad!
So much so that I think what I will do is basically treat their AS 44 as their unique weapon (like all the other Paratroopers) so I will only spawn in late war maps
Of coarse the next problem is the Event Paras, and their starting Federov is treated as a high BR weapon despite being a WW1 vintage. Personally I’d prefer they be the early to mid BR and have PTRS

I mean, every side (except japanese) can take at leat 3 flamethrower squads. The german can have 3 paratroopers but the US can even have four of them.
The Allies have two paratroopers on the BR2. There are 3-5 BR weapons in their boxes.
