I mean that is kinda true.... Paratroopers are flown being enemy lines which means they have no supplies, no support and are immediately surrounded. Its a though job.

As absolutely broken as paratroopers are, it makes sense historically. Paratroopers routinely completely messed up supply and communications lines, and were essential parts of the D-Day invasion for their pre-landing sabotage and general ability to sow chaos behind the German lines.

I love to imagine the natonal leaders telling the nation the situation during these scenarios. Like, imagine FDR talking about how the Americans are gonna win against Japan in the long run but he's like "Ye guys, we're not really gonna use anything but paratroopers this war, I think we need a little challenge ngl."
@crazeelazee75247 ай бұрын
I'm pretty sure the "once per province every 30 days" thing for paratroopers refers to the province the paratroopers land in, not the province affected. Whether intentional or not, that's how it seems to work.

Mountaineers might be better than marines as the second Special Forces doctrine because the last one (Shared Instructors) gives +20% special forces cap. And you can still go over the cap by a certain amount, by transforming already-deployed units (the game will not correctly check if you're over until the switch is done because at that point they are still normal units).
@generalspills7 ай бұрын
Cap is useless since you can spam 2w infantry to bypass it
@jeremyglass42837 ай бұрын
you can put artillery in paratroopers and still paradrop them! So you can stack like 4 battalions and then your paratroopers are suddenly just an attacking infantry division. They perform pretty well.

Paratroopers *need* to be able to auto-carry out landings as part of a battle plan. One of the doctrine paths should prompt this and it should instead take part in battle and wreck things like defence in those battles (germany path). Linking them to a naval invasion should time the landing to when the first sailing divisions land. The other doctrine path should do the strategic org damage by trying to land behind the enemy (us path), timing working the same way but obviously they're then isolated, so it becomes a risk reward thing.

Paratroopers are op imo. For one, upgrading them uses air experience which is usually not in short supply. The de-orging is massive (and does still stack). You can basically use paratroopers to cause encirclements at will if you have air superiority. Also, as the Germans (possibly other countries) you can pick a decision to do more than 1 special forces branch, so you can get more of the modifiers allowing for more special forces units.

They should let us modify transport planes. Maybe make them a variant of the heavy or medium aircraft. Seriously transport planes have almost no range and that's part of what makes paratroopers so difficult to use.

11:31 whenever you drop paratroopers, the state org reduction is separate from the org reduction from you dropping directly onto the units, so, while it counting twice might not be fully intentional, it is not a bug
