Paratrooper unit could be an easy improvment!!!

You want paratroopers?

Why want paratroopers, when you can have Crates!!!!!!!

No, do not want paratroopers, I am more of a armor type of guy. But would use the feature to move my toad armor around faster. And from a programmers stand point, it would be a big addition with very little coding needed. If done the way I outlined above.

Also have herd complaints of under powered planes vs ships. This would offset that a little.

Long ago I had the pleasure of working with a vet, that was a former 101st air born ranger, and was a paratrooper on D-Day. Most all of his unit was dead before they hit the ground. But the fact that paratroops were a part of WWII,

makes them ideal, to be added to this great game.

The crates seem cool, but I have not finished any of them at this time. Therefore have not used any of the units at this point.

UNDERPOWERED planes? Best joke 2k16 xD I use them all the times and Tac bombers are my favourite unit in the game. Not underpowered at all.

Maybe max level troops could become airdrop/airborne capable? It would be difficult to get since you'd have to get all the blueprints but once you did you'd have a real reward. Cargo planes can drop any armor or ground force.

I was thinking that Paratroopers are a great idea! (Its the reason I made an Account on the forums!)

I was thinking that you could have lets say you have a level 1 Parachute plane thing xD I dont know what to call them.

This plane can hold 2 infantry being level 1, and at level 5 it holds about 8? (That might be too OP) You may be thinking that this would be RUBBISH AND TOO OP! However you could increase the abilties of AA guns! If you were able to make the AA guns have a kind of patroling system where a small blue circle would go around the AA and IF a plane went over it (even to bomb somewhere much further away) it would be shot at. I was also thinking that cargo planes would be a cool idea (I'd probably have them carry less troops, AND only armoured units) One last thing, another thing about those 2 planes would be that they have low defence and offence stats, because you dont see them shooting down BF109's in the movies do you?

It is a bad idea to have paratroopers, and the simple answer is,

If you have paratroopers, it is easy to abuse, because then all you have to do,

is paradrop your troops on enemy capital and capture it, taking all of the resources from the Capital

and making you too powerful.

This could break game balance. As much as i would love to use the troop, it is exploitable.

that is why the transport planes would have limited range and be very susceptible to patrolling interceptors and Anti Aircraft guns

Air Born Ranger, Air Born Ranger, where have you been?

I been around the world and back again.

Air Born Ranger, Air Born Ranger, how did you go?

I went in a C one thirty, flying low.

Here is a current picture of my old unit, loading a rocket system onto a C-130.

I do not see more then one unit at a time.

Yay Para thread is back
