My question was never answered. Although, it is partly my fault for not asking it clearly enough. I'm only referring to Leg infantry not droppable vehicles. I'm looking at US units: Para Rifle, Para MMG, Para Scout, Para Sniper, Para Rifle, Para 40mm GL, Para 81mm Mortar, etc.

I'm seeing out of control levels of damages to some of these units as documented and described in the attached Excel doc.

After I started this thread I went and created a test. I dropped various US Para units from C-130s which had their Experience set to 80. The drops were all done in the same drop zone. The terrain for the zone was 0 level clear terrain. Units were fairly evenly distributed between all C-130s so that no single bad roll for a plane could screw the numbers up.

Results in brief (more detail in Excel doc): 0.29% casualties to US Para Rifle units. 41.07% casualties to US Para Stinger units. Both figures describe casualties as it relates to the number of men in each unit.

See attached...

Thank you,

I never once mentioned droppable vehicles becasue that wasn't the topic. However, if you go back and read my reply to you the last line is...

"The code has been massaged a bit to lower para casualty rates a bit to make everyone happy and that will be included in the CD version and the patch we will issue within the next few weeks"

So all that has changed and will be included in the patch and the CD when they are issued and those changes will alter all those stats you produced. That's why I included that information so everyone would know this has been addressed already
