[@walnzell9328]

The one paratrooper division being able to destroy the organization of all enemy divisions in a state is actually sort of accurate. The example of Normandy you gave? Yeah that actually happened. Although it was TWO American airborne divisions and I think one British airborne division. When they landed behind enemy lines the Germans were scrambling forces to deal with them. They didn't know where exactly they were, because even the airborne didn't know where they were. They all got scattered. And airborne training says if you can't find your objective, wreck sh*t. Cause a little chaos.

[@quichrlyn]

yeah but were the german garrison units on the beaches scrambling to mop up the allied airborne divisions? idk. but if they were then yeah its accurate its just too easy to launch naval invasions and paratrooper invasions in hoi4 in general i think.i would have thought the germans would have allocated special divisions to destroy the paratroopers, maybe those garrisoning normandy would have an org debuff, but not the ones on the ports. i was thinking maybe it could work like, all the divisions that the airborne division comes into combat with get a debuff just to illustrate how hard it is to defend against if you dont have a good enough airforce to prevent the launch in the first place.

[@computethis1533]

What even was their normal objective if not to do a little trolling?

[@NareshSinghOctagon]

Forget not the pioneer section of the US airborne units that landed before D-Day itself had landed in the vicinity of a German infantry division who were training... ...for anti-paratrooper techniques. Also forget not the literal hundres of dummy paratroops that were dropped all over the place,followed by the humans being equally scattered,with the Germans having basically told their commanders "they're everywhere". Concentrated attacks are one thing,but a spread that coats everything is harder to clean up.

[@CM-db5cg]

​@@quichrlynno but in reality you don't actually have all yours guys sat in bunkers on the beachs ready to fend off invaders. Paratroopers (as well as a bit of sabotage done by the french resistance altbough it really was only a little bit, gets played up to be a lot more than it is) really fucked with the germans ability to bring up relief forces and not just the famous tanks that where going to push any allied footholds back into the sea, they didn't even bring up infantry to rotate into the coastal defences.

@@gregorgerzson1767 the problem is that Paradox is applying real world physics to a game which doesn’t work on real world physics Like yeah someone falling on you and jamming a bayonet up your arse would probably make you a little less focused but HALF ORG!?

[@fireironthesecond2909]

@@strategystuff5080 ngl I like the inclusion of Special Forces buffs. I like that if you focus solely on Special Forces you can get a division that matches tanks in stats but 2000 SOFT ATTACK! That means that adding a ranger gives similar attacking potential to a full 50w of nothing but Super Heavy SPA

[@enderborn017]

I like to think that the rangers give the artillery perfect real-time information on the exact location of every enemy asset as well as perfect accuracy enabling them to always hit in the exact location to maximize damage. Like threading an artillery shell through the slit in a bunker or direct hitting enemy infantry

[@MarkKatz2772-jg3tc]

You know how if you nuke a province with enemy units in it, they take a ton of damage, but it only drops it down to a certain point, doesn't just instantly defeat it?
