Airborne corps

Did you read the excellent article from Peter Lloyd in AP dayly content ? And new counters for the US Airborne corps too !
Many thanks, Peter !
The half-HMG are especially interesting along with the distinction between glider and parachute troops.

In some recent research, I've reached the same conclusion as for the use of specific bazooka teams. But I was surprised by the 2-2 Direct fire value of these teams. Does it include the few rifles of the team or are the rocket explosive effects factored in these numbers ? Moreover, is the 3-0 AT value enough for the latest baz models used during the battle of the bulge ?

Another point is the December '44 changes made to the Airborne infantry forces. 5-3 direct fire value seems far too low for parachute infantry during the Bulge : one full squad had been added to each platoon at that time and 2 X .30 MG were available per squad (but no BAR). Peter, don't you think 7-3 would be a better idea ?
