Default Re: Paratrooper drops… Campaings.

One of the primary features about airborne operations is the fact that in real combat conditions , as opposed to demonstration and or training jumps , is that units get spread out all over the country side. Yes, you have to spend a consederable amount of time regrouping a company but your squads land intact within a fifty metre area which never happens in reality. They are spread out to simulate than airborne drops are usually confusing events for all concerned.

If you want tighter drops zones in a sceanrio give the pilots higher experience and put fewer troops in each aircraft and you will get smaller drop zones. The better the pilot ( and the lower the active enemy resistance ) the closer he will drop the troops to the DZ you picked
