i hope to see these come back. seems like it would synergize well with the brummbar, although that thing takes alot of manpower to build so who knows. maybe it should require munitions as well?

wait a minute did this even happen on the eastern front??

There were airlifts performed by the Luftwaffe(Demyansk, Stalingrad) If they actually dropped AT guns by parachute I'm not sure about.

In any case you could just have it as a call-in like the new light AT gun that the Soviets get, that is if it's needed in the current state of the game...

Can we get paradropped dogs with bombs attached to them as Soviet AT option? :))

According to wikipedia, the 2nd para division did have an AT battalion. And since 2e FJ was put into action on the eastfront, I suppose they could have had (light) AT dropped.

It's also quite possible, however, that the only airborne part of the FJ operations was to move men by planes and that their equipment was moved by land.

Not even the biggest german para operation (Crete) seems to have had much heavy equipment para dropped.
