So let's imagine that situation: I order Pathfinders to plant a beacon. I drop Paratroopers and 6-pounder on it. After Paratroopers man the gun, I can instantly reinforce them thanks to beacon, but AT gun can't be reinforced and stays with 3-man crew. It would make sense to allow them to reinforce at beacon since it's crewed by airborne team.
Is it possible to implement? If yes, how?

I dont think mg or at gun (even) crewed with paratroopers can reinforce near the beacon. I get your point and I think everything should be reinforced If crewed with paratroopers.
Also. I'm in serius suspicion with: Are they getting accuracy buff (when inside the beacon influence circle) or not? Because there is no indication like a icon apearing or disapearing. If someone knows that It is working as intended or not, please do tell.
Another thing I curius about If team weapons crewed with Paratroopers are they getting that same beacon accuracy buff aswell? If not, I think It could be excelent addition to Paratrooper gaming. Maybe with balancing touches with: -Beacon could be limit to 2 or 3 and cost of 20-30 AMU.

It looks like it's not difficult to implement.
You'd need to change the squad_reinforce_ext of every squad that might be recrewed by paratroopers, and add a copy of the paradrop requirements that paratroopers normally have. However you'd be adding a new requirement in addition to the near_entity_requirement: a required_unit_type of aef_paratroopers.
That would mean every weapon crew can reinforce if any of their entities are paratroopers, when near the beacon.
