We will most likely not have partisans, but there are plans to have units like Spetsnaz with infiltration abilities. Contrivance could better fill in the details regarding that.
For the most part, Airborne units will be elite infantry units with a collection of special equipment and traits to set them apart from regular infantry units. Soviet Airborne units were basically just Guards Rifle Divisions, but
with blue pilotkas and some slightly different equipment (such as the PPS-43), so we would like to include them as well (if we ever get more tools from Relic). The type of support for Airborne units will differ greatly from regular Infantry units, so that will give them some additional flavor as well.
We have often discussed coup-de-main glider assaults (mainly for the British) and parachute landings as a deployment method, but this will likely be something we add post-release. So, Airborne units will be on foot or motorised, depending on the country, for our first release.
