I want to understand what led to the creation of Airborne Guards ? If anyone deserved an airborne unit other than USF and OKW it was the brits. As you all know when it comes to topic of airdropped infantry history battles like crete, Italy, Operation Overlord and Market Garden comes to mind.
While i am not disregarding Soviets did had Airborne units of their own i do not think they deserved to be a unit in COH 2. Make no mistake Commander Abalities are solid. But the unit itself is kind of there.
For the point of there are new models for the british paratroopers that would be wrong. The models do exist in the game actually. Raid Section which basically pretending to be USF rifleman with UK paratrooper gear. Or even more so in the officer which is basically reworked Airlanding. The raid section and the the escort near the officer wears the rimless Olive green helmet with folliage on the head and wears the denison Smock Camoflage that was issued to UK paratroopers during operation Market garden.
All you really have to do was take the raid section give it 6 men make it airdrop and give it the standard SMG/LMG upgrades and there you go i just created a new unit while saving time and resources
Airborne Troops ( Not USF ones)

As Katukov said, UKF already has gliders/commandos in two of their commanders. They are not real paratroopers, but adding paras to a third one would make the only 9 UKF commanders quite redundant. Especially since they have to fit thematically.
Also, wasn't the issue with Soviet Airborne guards that they for some technical reason could not be airdropped? This issue could be the same with UKF paras.

Airguards became a thing during community suggested commanders patch in 2019 (I think), so if you wanted your input to be heard you are sadly (or not) way to late.

do you not know what commandos are?Yes i know what and who the commandos are.
The commandos in COH 2 are not airborne commandos they wear green beanie/beret this makes them royal marine commandos which usually inserted with ships airborne commandos would wear a maroon red Beret and i think you guys misunderstood me here i wasnt asking for brits to get paratroopers. I only was saying that it should have been the brits that gotten the airborne units

It is the Soviet Airborne Forces that deserve to be in the game, and implemented correctly, with the right skins and ability. After all, it was the Soviet Airborne Forces that inspired the rest of the world to create the Airborne Forces after maneuvers in the Kiev District in 1935, before that, in other countries, they were just experimental units when the Airborne Forces were created in the USSR starting from 1930. After the Kiev Maneuvers, the Germans and French began to convene their airborne forces, and the British began to create an airborne force after the success of the German airborne forces in Belgium.
the Airborne Forces played a huge role in the Soviet military theory "Deep Operation" and remained an important part of military theory after the war. And Although Soviet operations are not popular against the backdrop of Normandy and Operation Market Garden. But over the years of the war, about 30 tactical airborne assault forces were thrown behind enemy lines, which were used to:
- the capture of airfields and the destruction of enemy aircraft (in the areas of Medyn, January 1942; Maykop, October 1942)
- strengthening the troops that fought in the encirclement, and assisting them in leaving the encirclement (Rzhev area, February 1942)
- capture of bridgeheads during the landing of amphibious assaults (Odessa region, September 1941; Kerch Peninsula, December 1943)
- violations of the control and communications of the enemy, the work of his rear (for example, Demyansk landing)
- solving special problems (for example, Maikop landing).
The largest operational airborne assault forces were used in the Vyazemsky airborne operation in 1942 (more than 10,000 paratroopers), the Demyansk operation (8,000 paratroopers), the Mtsensk Operation (more than 6,000 paratroopers) in the Dnieper airborne operation in 1943 (4 500 paratroopers). The largest unrealized operation was supposed to be near Leningrad in 1943 - "Operation Polar Star", in which about 50,000 paratroopers (5 Guards Airborne Divisions) were supposed to participate. But due to the fact that the Germans captured two senior officers who told about the operation, the Germans launched an attack and the paratroopers were defending the front line
More than 20 landings were at the final stage of the Soviet-Japanese War (about 16,000 soldiers)
