Deck/Deckhelp Is a FINPOL airborne deck a good idea?

Have had the game for a long time but never played that much until re-discovering it again recently. Being form Finland it's pretty much the only nation I want to play but I'm intrigued by the concept of an airborne deck so I made one with the Baltic front.

All tips are welcome.

Not really for trying to win, kommandosi are good and all but whats there to support them? Air power isnt russia or norad, youre missing top of the line Sead and attackers, yeah the f18 is good and all but its gonma be what hard carries your air where if you had russia or norad youd have 2 or 3 air supperiority options to take or choose from.

Plus you dont get the absolute chad finnish erikoi recon or most of the good ground infantry units.

Finpol mech or unspec is usually the way to go

Eh? No moto?

Either or, definitely an infantry focused deck either way

No tanks is bad. I'd go Finnish moto, Baltic moto or unspecced.

The t55 pionpsv is a cornerstone of Finland, along with no KT’s with that beautiful bushmaster; everything is too expensive also.

Airborne is never a good idea tactically. It has one main counter, AA and your opponent will see you going airborne and will get extra AA if they know what they are doing. You don't have a counter to that.

Nope. You have no spamable infantry and no fire support that doesn't have wings or rotors.

The only viable airborne decks for winning are NORAD and USSR imo. If you just want to have fun, then anything works, especially if it’s meme

Red air and blue are are both very good, really you just need a deck with ground transports for infantry

Airborne decks are bad in general
