Since closed beta test - I would like to have the Soviet Union were paratroopers.
After reviewing me and my friends came up with following:

1-2 CP - paratroopers - 6 people x6 PPSh-41 / better PPS-43, x2 PTRS / PTRD upgrade, grenade

3 CP - Light Amphibious Tank T-40 delivered bomber TB-3 - 12.7 mm DShK upgrade to 20 mm cannon

4 CP - Airplane scout.

4 CP - 37 mm Airborne gun model 1944 - armor penetration - 97 mm at a distance of 300 m - Camouflage, Rate of fire, rds / min 15-25

12 CP - IL-2 with 23 mm guns

Since Soviet Paratroops were armed with a more varied bunch of weapons, I'd suggest

1x DP
2x Tokarev SVT
2x PPSh-41
1x Mosin-Nagant

Option to replace the Nagant with a PTRS (the weapons marked with * would be slot items, with the DP being an undroppable slot item--this would simply require a copy of the existing slot item that can't be dropped).

Give them 1.75 armor or some such, slightly better than the norm. IIRC there were a few divisions of VVS paratroops that quite literally halted Barbarossa for a day or two (it was during one of the opening episodes of 'Soviet Storm: WWII in the East'--fascinating series).

there were very very very few soviet paratroopers so I don't see a reason to put them in-game

Well, there was still more soviet paratroopers then Ostwinds.
Not saying they should be in, just underlining that its not an argument when unit that was made in quantity of less then 50 is a stock unit.

I believe it's easier to train 1 paratrooper than build a tank xD

Soviet had the most paratroopers in WW2 actually. But most of them didnt even get paradropped to the front.

They also had ridiculous helmets, German troops thought they were fighting Pilots when fighting Soviet Paratroopers.

Anyhow i'd rather see FG42's and Fallschirmjägers. ;c

No, the whole period of the Second World War, the Red Army paratroopers applied more than the rest of the country. Paratroopers fought as regular infantry units (Battle for Kiev, the Battle of Stalingrad) and for its intended purpose. Red Army paratroopers have been used for its intended purpose more than a hundred times. They participated in large-scale landings (the battle for Moscow, battles for the Crimea, the battle for the Dnieper River, the war against Japan.) Also for kicks in the back of the retreating enemy, sabotage attacks, distracting and supporting attacks.

Clarify. Supporting and distracting attacks usually conducted by: 1 company - Paratroopers Brigade
