  • Add transport planes/Paratroopers

    It has been really frustrating for me that you can transport troops automatically by sea, but why not by air also? So I got out with this idea: Add paratroopers, and transport planes. Paratroopers would be an very efficient troop in attack, if used from an transport plane. Transport planes could also transport normal troops, but not armored ones (Only Commandos,Militia, Infantry). Hope this idea gets true sometime in next updates, as I think it will be gamechanging! (Also, these units should be in the research tree, more exactly the transport plane should start as a normal lvl 1 troop at the air tech tree, and paratroopers an ''evolution'' from infantry,as a better trained troop).

    Yay. Noobs are going to get rekt now by pros and people starting out that get a good grip on game mechanics.

  • They should add Transport Ships too. It's to easy to amphibious assault.

  • No, it would make it realistic. People can't pull the Harry Potter and make a boat appear out of mid-air, so where do the convoys come from?

    Realism sucks when it makes a slow game slower.

    Would you play CoD or BF if you could only take 2 rounds and then die, or not regain health?

    If you want realism, this game will become unplayable.

  • Well the transports should work like carriers, unit carry limit, such like that. It wouldn't add much time, and maybe it only takes an hour to embark instead of three..

  • nah it would make this game unplayable because than u must waste u open navy slots for pretty transport ships.
    sry for bad language. but here is my idea. u must have ports in province where u units are emparking but where u disempark there u dont need any as u soldiers use boats to land on shore. but yeah they should make that u soldiers can only empark at provincec where u docks are

  • Transport planes would be very overpowered in terms of transport speed and getting troops to the frontlines compared to convoys. However this balances itself out because you don't need naval bases for convoys. In addition, planes require air bases to land, so it would sometimes be more effective just to transport your units by sea. I think if you just made transport planes a general research option (like nuclear power), then it would keep the pace of the game down. Otherwise you'll find yourself getting rushed by thousands of transport planes if it wasn't restricted to begin with.

    I'd say make it researchable around the time you can research a strat bomber or whatever.

    Respectfully and in all fairness, CSGO has no health regeneration and that has a large community and following. Although I agree with you, I don't see the need of constructing transport ships to be added.

  • So I guess noobs will never be pro players, Airborne SHOULD be added. If you want to prevent an Airborne invasion, you will, You should have units patrolling, every province should have at least one militia defending, if you don't have that then OF COURSE YOU AREN'T GOING TO WIN! It would be fun to try out different strategies, not just, bombers, light tanks, then get mechanized infantry, then win. Also, Naval Transport? Really? I mean, sure...I guess...But not really...
