Paratroopers are obvious, they dont have the range as bombers. Dont have stealth when behind enemy lines. Small range at low lvls so only viably useful at lvl 4 or 5, all that wasted resources on research. Commandos replace them as sabatours and recon. Paratroopers for roleplay only, band of brothers.
Tank Destroyer is the second. It can be effective in certain situations, however the Attack Bomber replaces this unit. You need to engage at close combat to give damage, however if you are attacked you take full attack damage. So yes used defensive, the enemy can click attack and it basically loses all relevance as a tank destoyer. Its a hit and run unit, some stealth but uselss when engaged. It should have ability to disengage, or have a range. Half of what arty gets or even less, just so you can fire and move, like their RL counterparts. Even the AT gun has more use as a defensive cheap unit. Its not on wheels because its meant for defence and if over run its abandoned, hence the cheap cost. As mentioned already Attack Bomber fills the role of Tank Destroyer. AA will be a problem that the TD wont have, its still not enough to even research let alone make a single TD.
In conclusion, im hoping BYTRO may breath some life into these two specific units as of now they are totally useless...

Plus Tank Destroyers have a pretty impressive defensive value against heavy armour, (36.0 at full health I believe), combined with Mechanised Infantry and some SP AA, it makes for an expensive but powerful stack.
4 Tank Destroyers
3 Mech. Infantry
3 SP. Anti-Air

Then there is infantry. I personally like using more often than I should, but realistically milita is probably more effective in most cases. Itβs best use is likely defending urban areas, but in most other cases it falls behind the sheer Spam cheesiness of milita.
