Osttruppen is ROA (RLA - Russian Liberation Army) this can be seen on their emblem on the shoulder.
Show Spoiler

This commander could be reworked based on their historical features:
- ROA had mixed weapons, they had both German and Soviet weapons, so that instead of MG-42 they could get the DP-27.
- ROA used captured T-34s, could make a call in/veteran T-34.
Show Spoiler

- ROA had aircraft: fighters and attack aircraft. Instead of railway artillery, it was possible to make one of the many Ju.87 strikes.

Rename them whatever the Russian word for riflemen or rifleman or rifle squad or something similar.

“Strelky” or something like that.

This design suggestion is suggestion, which requires to add new portraits to the game. But will make game a little bit better (i believe in that)!

Some months ago i and Mr.Someguy have a little conversation in QoL thread about penals design. Then we agreed, that this suggestion is not in high priority. BUT, i think it need to be added, because it easy to solve, and it is the only BIG element of stereotypes about Red Army in the multiplayer.

Now, when penals drastically changed their role on the field from assault unit with good anti-garrison/anti-building capabilities to good anti-infantry squad with meh anti-tank capabilities, i think they can drastically change their face too

Why i suggest it:

1. Now community making patches. IOW this suggestion will reach guys, who make patches.
2. TheMashine in comments under his video about PTRS-41 Penals agreed, that Penals never used as mainline infantry.
3. Penals works like regular infantry squad. As many people mentioned, conscripts is for support, and use them as mainline infantry not the main variant.
4. Red Army doesn't have regular infantry in the tech. Conscripts not a regularly infantry, Guards and Shocktroopers are elite infantry.
5. Other factions don't have cliche units in their teching or doctrines (Maybe except osttruppen).

How this change can be added to the game?

1. We take model of guards without green coat and give it to "penals". It looks like on the screens below(don't look om abilities and etc, only 3D model matters):


2. Rename them in the "Strelky" (Riflemen in russian), or Riflemen, or Regular Infantry Squad.
3. Change their portrait to match with new model.

Do the SU Paratroopers parachute?

Or

Will they just appear like ghosts?

2. SneakEye founded a way to make Soviet paratroopers using parachutes and paradrop like other airbourne units. It's not fully animated, but if combined with smoke grenades.
