Soviet paratroopers

How is it possible that a faction that has a 3rd campaign still doesn’t have paratroopers … while even the newest and smallest one like Japan does … USA has even a 3rd type of paratroopers counting the ones from ( special offer ) - M1928A1 Thompson Squad … For example, I’m someone who mostly likes to play with the Soviet faction, but I don’t have the option to have paratroopers like the other factions… I don’t think this is balanced. When do you think you will put in an “event” for Soviet paratroopers? I hope two “events” minimum.

personal bias, it’s entirely balanced since there’s no axis paratroopers on the Eastern Front either you know

but if you must know devs already said soviets are getting event paras next so

The next major event

As has been said by the devs

As said before, they will be in one of the future events with a unique mechanic for them.

1 event + 1 premium most likely. This is Gaijin after all. I bet Axis will get their next Para squad anyway while f2p soviets will be only with a single free squad. Soviets are also missing motorbikes and phosphor granades.

I don’t think the Soviets had any type of WP grenade

They had the M1917 gas grenade, it would be the closest thing to a WP grenade for the soviets.

I think it mostly has to do with paratroopers barely being used on the Eastern Front.
Balance itself is also problematic because Soviets should get their paratroopers in Berlin to help reinforce the faction but it would be more realistic in Moscow, but Moscow is already farmed hard by allies.
I would prefer to get the soviet paratroopers in Berlin, I still want to grind some stuff there.

actually they have 4, 3 event (Pacific,Normandy,Tunisia) squads and 1 premium (Normandy).

its completely useless anyway.
Soviets would be better of with impact grenades that are actually useful (when they work).

As stated one is planned for future event therefore topic closed
