The real question here is... do Airborne Paratroopers get "Elite" Bazookas if they get them from the weapon racks?

I know. I probably spent more time with Recon than anyone else when it was still a terrible commander, but it doesn't change the fact that the weapons they had (stock) were inferior. Yes, the thompson squad was able to invest another 120 ammo (2 bars) to make them probably the most devastating close range unit (if you used Tactical Movement)

The lmg squad was not able to buy another lmg, only to pick up one bar (only one weapon slot).

Yeah paras get the elite bazookas from weapon racks. I think it is fine having 2 upgrades available in each commander.

As for airborne being useless have you tried the revised p47 rocket strike? It is very strong and obers have received a few nerfs since the old days when airborne was popular making lmg paras stand out much more.

Like i said, airborne has 3 upgrades, and normal para can get 2 super zooks.

I don't oubt it, but overall recon is just better, and 2 slots within airborne are still wasted on bad abilities, while the others are good but not enough to make the doctrine that good.

Except picking up bazookas with airborne doesn't give them access to mines
