Paratroopers Yes/No/Maybe Vote (Maybe means you're on the No side but not too sure)

26 Feb 2019, 10:53

Since we are getting such heated debate about Paratroopers, why not let's all give a vote and see who wins? We can't risk Bytro spending resources on a troop that not many people want.

Edit (from responses up to Mar 21

Over 50 people have voted! Still not a lot, but since this is a heavily debated matter, I do hope many forum members vote for the credibility. People who voted against paras are over 50% which should be quite a lot.

I think the best idea i saw in this forum was to make strategic bombers able to transport commandos , and that commandos can be used like paratroopers. I think it should be implemented in game. It will make strategic bombers more valuable.

"Then, when you run out of ammunition and the enemy continues to advance - to the bayonet, when they break your knife - to your hands, when they break both of your hands - to your teeth, when you get the last tooth knocked out, as long as you move, as long you are there - attack! When they mortally wound you, see to it that you fall in their way, so they have to go around you, jump over you or move you - bother them even in death!" speech of lieutenant Tasic before battle of Cer 1914.

If the vote is a "No", do people promise to shut up about it for 6 months at least...?

Hm, I've never thought about that. I just hope the vote result will either make the "yes" or "no" side shut up because no one will listen. I will agree with this point, but to make it fair, this is how the results will go:

If the end result is "Yes", then people will start negotiating for the logistics of the paratrooper and how can it be implemented (note: the devs may still not develop it because this is a collective dictatorship and not democracy). There can be someone disagreeing the paratrooper suggestion at this point, but it will make no impact, for the community has decided paratroopers are the "go". Moderators may keep an eye on especially radical non-supporters

If the end result is "No", the people better shut up about paratroopers for quite a while (like what Roko said), and the moderators may keep an eye on those who may break this compromise (cough, cough, SOMEONE), and hopefully the forum can discuss more meaningful things.

Okay - so Roko has post his vote,. now I will post my vote too:

I vote with YES, because it's can't be that this missing unit is not be a part of this World War Two game, because some veterans players are only afraid that this unit can ruin the game.

We have rockets, rocket fighters, atomic ships and other stuff that was new in the first half of the 20th century but only this one unit not?

It's only a question how to Implement this paratroopers in the game mechanics WITHOUT destroying the game play.

Yes is that you are totally for the paratrooper implementing.

No is that you are totally against the paratrooper implementing.

Maybe is that you don't really like the paratrooper idea, but is not sure of your position.

Basically:

Yes: YAY PARAS

No: NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL I ALLOW PARAS

Maybe: No paras?

I would like to see if possible, air transports moving troops from airfield to airfield, and paratroopers would be cool too.

I don't complain about OP planes! In fact I don't think planes are powerful enough!

Ah, a german speaker I see, huh? Just make sure you don't use that google translate, has many errors...

The only reason I would use paratroopers is to conquer annoying little Islands. Another idea is that if they land directly onto an enemy unit, they should be immediately destroyed.

11 Mar 2019, 12:59

not really, plenty of stories have been written about airborne dropping right on an enemy unit and the enemy unit being destroyed. In the book Silk Chutes and Hard Fighting, About the short-lived US Marine Corps' parachute regiment, it talks about them being dropped on an enemy unit during an exercise (Enemy unit was another infantry regiment) and taking them by surprise and "destroying" the unit.

Well, ask the poor para's who fought at Arnhem what it felt like to drop on top of an enemy unit. It was a heavily battered and recuperating armored unit, still the para's were wiped out in a few days.
