    • REAL Commandos!

      We already have commandos, but they have so much more potential.

      My first suggestion is that they be given the option to parachute behind enemy lines, or at least rapid deploy onto enemy or neighboring territory. No need to make new planes, one of the bombers could be used for it.

      My second suggestion is to allow commandos to deploy from the sea for a covert amphibious assault.

      Similar to the jeep for the infantry, small watercraft could be rapidly deployed by stealth at sea, (Mobile Commandos if you will.) allowing the commandos to target specific units. No, a small unit of commandos would be able to take an entire city, but to insert quickly/quietly and target specific units so the main troops can land on a softened target? That is the heart of what commandos are and were in the war.

      With each level increase of the commandos, their abilities would increase.
      Lvl 1 = as they are.
      Lvl 2 = amphibious rapid insert.
      Lvl 3 = Jump certified

      A stealth system could be made such as:

      Lvl 1 = %50 stealth (%50 chance of being spotted before the surprise attack)
      Lvl 2 = %65 stealth (%35 chance of being spotted)
      Lvl 3 = %80 stealth (%20 chance of being spotted)
    • All that seems nifty, but commandos are already to most overpowered unit in the game. To allow paratroop or fast disembark would have to come with some serious penalties to keep the game balanced. They already limit commandos to being made only in capital to keep them from overrunning the game.
    • We're already after dedicated marine and para units, and commandos are- as said above- the most OP unit in the game.
