It will most likely be the same. The squad unit that it belongs to is just for decoration purpose.
Germany virtually stopped using paratroopers as an airborne unit by 1944, especially on the Western Front partially because of Allied air superiority, and also because they have had bad experiences since Crete. Yes, they had the last one in Operation Stösser, in the Ardennes in 1944 but it was also a miserable failure. The Normandy paratrooper units were used as infantry, so there is no point trying to force the already existing ones to become air-deployable.
As for in-game…the paratrooper squad looks like a gimmick. Currently easily countered with AA guns or even HMGs, probably easily sniped while dropping. And then pray that they don’t fall into the grey zone and get killed or teleported. Lets hope I am wrong.

While this is really cool, i would have prefered dedicated missions for airborne invasions or in a more massive map.
Also please add an Officer role to each one of you squads. That would really interesting.

With how big our maps are it will be really useful to land on the rooftop of the objective and cap from there 
Best and most logical addition ever

Mixed salad sounds great. Better than assault rifles in moscow. Much more fun. Argument over.
Not at all, I’m just a filthy casual, not even that good.
I just find planes crashing down into fireballs to be beautiful

I don’t feel like investing in anything in this game until the new progression and MM system drops. I need to know what bracket everything goes in. How the MM works in real time. What premium squads are used in what way…
etc. etc.

I love hunting down OOB campers with my plane
I think paratroopers should have a larger battle area (be able to go into the greyzone to an extent). This would be a good counter to greyzone camping tanks.

For those who think that the parachute troops will only be for premium, the announcement of the update itself ensures that not only. I’m sure they’ll be just as available as a motorcycle squad in the Tunisia campaign.
As for utility, anti-aircraft guns will grind mushrooms in a blue sky.
I take issue with them being able to be equipped with any gun tbh
Just another uber meta squad then
