I know this thing has been around few times but maybe we can ponder it again, maybe finding new ideas.
Model a generic foot or airborne soldier. You can select it in hangar like any other vehicle or plane. Armament options could include:
Primary:
Submachine gun without zoom - few hundred rouds.
Semiautomatic rifle - 100 rounds.
Sniper rifle with scope and zoom - about 50 rounds.
Secondary:
One Panzerfaust round - capable of knocking out tank.
Demolition charge - capable of destroying fuel tank or other medium structure.
Light mortar (50 or 60 mm) - something like 10 or 15 rounds capable of killing ack, range something like 500 yds.
This soldier could spawn from barracks of course!
What would these guys do?
Well, when base is under attack you could take on and hide in some hangar or near map room. When the paras are dropped you could kill them with rifle or SMG fire! Or if enemy ground vehicle comes near enough you could hit him with panzerfaust.
Infantry could also be used offensively. Spawn before base is captured and head for the hills. After capture you could spy the base and bombard it with that light mortar.
Maybe these troops coiuld be deployed to enemy rear bases by jeep, M3 or C-47. I think it could be done by creating troop positions to those vehicles instead of gunners and troops could get out simply by pressing eject key.
I know the terrain is not that good for infantry but bases offer bit of cover and could provide interesting firefights (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Imagine all that cursing:
C-47 pilot: "Troops are out!"
Others: "Its ours soon!, Yiihaaa!"
Then add Mr.Happy Camper inside maproom with Mp-44 and you get lots of "WTF's" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Or imagine the C47 pilot hitting like crazy the "B" key and the troops refusing to jump.
We can have the "regular" troop and the perked "rambo" troop.

No thanks, let's let AH concentrate on da planes (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I really would like to see it eventually. Spawn in an M 3 with your sqaud in back. Jump out and rush the base with M1's, Thompson's, and BAR's. Gernades, Bazooka's. Rogue Spear+AH. Cool.

I love AH, that being said, IMHO there are too many existing things that need fixing/tweaking before new stuff should be added.
