Trivia[]
- The 82nd Airborne soldiers that appeared in Breakthrough wear 101st Airborne arm patches and share the same face texture; this seems to be caused by a developer oversight.
- In Breakthrough some 82nd Airborne soldiers' model uses the 34th Infantry Division's desert unifrom with an added parachute.
