New type airplane, features of map

I think need 2 more types airplane:

spy airplane (he can fly on enemy terretori and has a chance to show up 25 to 60% (depending of the level))

transport airplane (can transport light tank (3 lvl) and soldiers (motorized infantry - 2 lvl; mechanized - 3 lvl)

About map:

I think need add rivers and bridges, spies and airplane can destroy bridge.

Not sure that those sorts of things existed during WWII. Can you specify some actual air craft from the time period that could move a whole Division at once. Thanks.

I think he means a carrier of, say, C-47's rather than 1 plane carrying the whole division. That would just be ridiculous.

1. Spy airplane: Germany: Ar. 95; Ar. 198; Ar. 240; Ju 88H(S) and other; USSR: P-12; Π’Ρƒ-2Π ; Π―ΠΊ-9Π  and other. All country have spy airplane.

2. About transport, i think 1 squadron can transport 1 division. 1 standart divison about 15000 people. One squadron Luftwaffe maximum 150 airplanes. Me. 323 Gigant can take 130 people. 130*150=19500.

Yes. Because if I make 1 day (in game its. i think, half year or year) 1 airplane, then its so funy:D

The ju52 was used to transport german paratroops over Crete, it didn't start so well but they won so air transport is a viable option.

British=best. Duh!

Yes transport of a paratrooper squadron is viable, but to load a light tank division onto a plane and transport it is not something realistic. Even in our modern world divisions are transported by sea more or less or on their own power. Excluding specal forces and replacements.

You could build one plane for a tank and several infantry but nothing more.

Not only transport, also spy airplaens very helpful.

Airbourne recon is covered by patrol when done correctly.

Transporting divisions is just not practical.

1 squadron is NOT and has NEVER been even close to 150 planes lol.

Transporting a para drop and transporting a fully fledged infantry division are 2 very different things.

1 squadron of Luftwaffe have 3-4 groups, sometimes 5. 3-5 groups its 110-150 airplane

When i write this idea I read organization structure;)

What about American and Russian?

Okay.

The equivalent luftwaffe unit to the Western squadron was the Staffel. Usually roughly 12 aircraft in strength.

If you are talking literal translation then this would be a Geschwader (equivalent of a Wing to the US).

But here, a squadron is a Staffel :)

Only nine flew on average. If you want exact numbers of them, I am renting a book from the library that has them.

A fighter Staffel has 12 aircraft in theory, but an operational number of nine. The Staffel is made up of four Schwarm and is lead by a StaffelfΓΌhrer. Each Schwarm is led by a SchwarmfΓΌhrer with each pair(or Rotten), by a RottenfΓΌhrer.

A bomber Staffel has 9 aircraft in theory, but one or two less when operational. The rest is the same, I think.
